Last month, the government of the Crow Nation reservation in Montana declared “Jesus Christ is Lord” with a public billboard that can be seen right from the Interstate. Standing 33 feet tall, the giant sign reads “Jesus Christ is Lord on the Crow Nation” along with Psalm 33:12.

In 2013, Crow Nation Senator Conrad J. Stewart drafted the “Jesus Is Lord” resolution and it passed unanimously. While the Crow’s constitution allows for the free practice of any religion, the resolution declaring Jesus as Lord was not prohibited, and through that resolution, the billboard was permitted.

“As a sovereign nation, we’re not bound by separation of church and state,” Stewart said. “People are afraid to say, ‘Jesus,’ in the political arena, but we did it today, as a people.”

The sign is also about peace.

“Within our nation is a struggle of peace,” said AJ Not Afraid, tribal secretary. “This is part of the foundation to initiate peace, initiate joy, initiate happiness.”

We pray that it does!

According to Indian Country, the Crow Nation has embraced the Pentecostal denomination. Back in 1920, much of the Crow Tribe converted to follow Jesus Christ through Pentecostal missionaries John and Georgia Forbes.

They’re also strong supporters of Israel. A sister bill to the “Jesus Is Lord” resolution declares support for the nation of Israel and that also passed unanimously. Blessing
