If You Could Help Save Your Country, Would You?

Prayer Meeting

What would you do if you found that one of your great loves was falling apart and it would continue unless you and others intervened? Would you simply watch—for fear of who you may upset or the work that it would require? Or would you go to any lengths necessary to ensure that your loved one got the restoration they needed? This is a question that Mrs. Eleanor Wilkerson found herself asking in 2015 when she realized that her loved one was falling apart—that loved one, is our country.

Mrs. Wilkerson decided that she could not sit idly by, so she began praying about what small steps she could take to help her great love in the wake of the 2016 election. She realized that the first step to restoration was to empower the women around her. In January 2016, she began hosting rallies at her home in which she educated women in the American political process. Mrs. Wilkerson discovered that most people did not know simple things like who their United States Congressmen were, or what the State Legislature even was. To tackle this issue, Mrs. Wilkerson created and distributed handouts with maps of the five Congressional districts in Oklahoma, the names of all the Oklahoma Senators and Representatives, and instruction on how to find and contact one’s direct Representative, Governor, Senator, or other government officials. Her meetings touched many women and grew to large numbers. The meetings grew to be so influential that many elected officials came to speak at them including: Senator Kim David (District 18 and the first Republican woman to serve as the Majority Whip), State Representative Katie Henkie (District 71), State Representative Jadine Nollan (District 66), and State Representative Pam Peterson (District 67 and Majority Floor Leader). Mrs. Wilkerson had created a movement among her state, but she decided she needed to go into even greater lengths for her great love; so, she founded the National Women’s Prayer and Voting Army.

Intending to impact the 2016 elections, she began the process of recruiting women to sign up to commit to pray and vote for Donald Trump for the Presidential election. This goal was not easy, but Mrs. Wilkerson was determined. She made a large number of contacts at the National Republican Convention in Cleveland, mobilized hundreds of women in Oklahoma and Texas. She began hosting prayer meetings once a month in her home which have been ongoing since February 2017. She also launched the National Women’s Prayer and Voting Army with a website and facebook in July 2016. Through these efforts,  approximately 2,000 women signed up committed to vote and pray for Donald Trump and all Conservative candidates in the 2016 election. Mrs. Wilkerson and her husband celebrated with the nation and was honored by what God was able to do through them. They both attended President Trump’s Inaugural Ball and the Texas Ball. On top of that, National Women’s PVA hosted a victory celebration on January 29, 2017, with almost every TV station covering the event. As exciting as it all was, Mrs. Wilkerson recognized that the movement and mobilization of women were not over. 

The mission of the National Women’s Prayer Voting Army is to join together the hearts of women that will pray for the United States and to bring personal meaning to “In God We Trust” at all levels of public policy. The NWPVA prays that the base of public policy would be to adhere to Biblical and Constitutional principles that our founding fathers established. Overall, the goal is to have a million women sign up and commit to vote and pray for unity in the country, for righteous officials to be elected, and for protection of our country. Mrs. Wilkerson’s great love for her country mobilized her to create a movement and community of passionate women.
