We need our land healed. healed. Amen. We need our land healed. We need our country healed. We want the Kirk family to be healed. We want our country to turn back to Jesus. So God, we say today, we are your people and we humble ourselves and we repent of sin and things that have so easily pulled us away from your kingdom and from purity. Lord, would you heal our land? Would you hear from heaven and heal today in only the ways that you can with your peace, with your grace, with your strength, with your mighty hand, God, we turn our eyes to Jesus, the only one, true one. You are the way, the truth, and the life. We turn our eyes to Jesus. We come to you, Father. We come to you with our hands open and our hearts open to you, God. Heal our land.

Thank God that there is always hope in Jesus. Amen. Jesus said in this world you will experience suffering. He said in this world you will experience tribulation but take heart. I have overcome the world. When you open open up to the last chapters of the Bible, we have a picture of the end of the story where Jesus, the King of Kings, is on the throne. He says, he said with a loud voice, he will wipe every tear from every eye. There will be no more mourning or crying or death or sorrow or pain. For the old order of things will be passed away. And it says, "He who was seated on the throne said, behold, I am making all things new." There was always hope in Jesus. And I believe that's not just a future promise. It's a promise right now. Just like we're singing this whole day, this whole last couple hours, everybody who opens their life to Jesus becomes a new creation, starts making us new. Thank God there's always hope in you, Jesus. Thank you. Sing about heaven. [Music] How I long to breathe the air of heaven when pain is gone and mercy fills the streets. To look upon the one who bled to save me and walk with him for all eternity. There will be a day when all will bow before him. There will be a day when death will be no more. Standing face to face with he who died and rose again. Holy, holy is the Lord [Music] and every prayer we prayed in desperation. The songs of faith we sang through doubt and fear. In the end, we'll see that it was worth it when he returns to wipe away our tears. Amen. There will be Oh, and there will be a day we all will bow before him. There will be a day when death will be no more. Standing face to face with he who died and rose again. Holy, holy is the Lord. And on that day we join the resurrection and stand beside the heroes of the faith. With one voice a thousand generations [Music] sing worthy is the lamb who was slain. Start now and on that day we join the resurrection and stand beside the heroes of the faith. With one voice a thousand generations [Music] sing the lamb was slain forever. He shall reign. So let it be today. We shout the hyen with angels and the saints. We raise my glory to our God who gave his life beyond the grave. Holy, holy is the Lord. So let it be today.

[Applause] Good morning everybody. Thank you for coming out to honor Charlie Kirk. God bless all of you and all of you tuning in online around the world. I uh I know you're all wondering who is he and why is he here? And I'm asking myself the same question. Charlie Kirk called me his pastor. I called him my friend. I was with Charlie about um a little over two weeks ago in Korea as he was supporting the persecuted Christians over there as they're raiding churches and imprisoning pastors. And he spoke to the youth there that now are chanting on the streets, I am Charlie Kirk standing for freedom across that country. In a conversation with Charlie in the green room in Korea, he said something to me that he'd said a number of times. He said he he kept calling me as pastor. And I I stopped him. I said, "Charlie, since the president's gotten elected, your your stock has risen through the stratosphere, and I don't see much of you." I mean, he wasn't a very good congregant. He was on the road 320 days a year. But he said, "Rob, not only are you my pastor, but you're America's pastor." And I said, "Charlie, if if we were at a tableabling event on a campus where you had the table said, prove me wrong, I'd win." And he looked at me with that sheepish grin that he always has. Dog gone on it. if he wasn't right. I mean, I I wasn't America's pastor 2 minutes ago, and I won't be after this, but for right now, he proved me wrong. [Applause] In a moment, you're going to hear from the most powerful political people in the free world. You're going to hear from the who's who and they're going to assemble in this place to talk about what Charlie Kirk did in 31 years on this earth. He had more lifetimes in 31 years than all of us have in the entirety of our own. And as I was thinking about that, to recount all that he's accomplished in 31 years is quite a feat. I mean, I I was just telling the Turning Point staff as I walked in here, everyone is is worried that that Turning Point is isn't going to be successful. And I I looked at each and every one of them. And for those of you who are negative, without Charlie Kirk's presence, they pulled off the largest event in Turning Point history. Let's thank them. Turning Point is alive and well. All right. You're I appreciate that, but you're taking my time here. Sit down. I I want to do two things and then I want to do what I've been called to do. First of all, I was thinking of Abraham Lincoln when I was reflecting on Erica and their two children and for Charlie's parents and his sister. Abraham Lincoln said to Mrs. Bixby when she had lost sons in the civil war. He wrote these words. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. We can't bring him back. But we thank you for raising him. We thank you for loving him. Erica for being the strength in his life. and and we we pray for this family and we ask God's comfort and peace upon you in Jesus name. Amen. Now, my responsibility entrusted to me by my friend and his wife. You're going to hear of what Charlie did, but I'm here today to tell you the why in what he did. The why brought him the courage. The why brought him the wisdom and the strength. The why is the one that Charlie wanted to welcome as the guest of honor. The guest of honor. His resume is long. He's the king of glory. He's the prince of peace. He's the savior of the world. He's the living God. He's the God of all mercy and grace, the total embodiment of love, the total embodiment of truth. And he's here today to call his children back to him. From the thin veil of heaven, Charlie declares to all earthly powers and principalities who will gather here. They have come into the presence of the God of all creation. Charlie wanted his savior to be the guest of honor. He wanted all of you to receive this gift from him. The why and what he did. Charlie was never afraid because he knew his life was secure in the hand of God. Jesus left the glory of heaven's throne for the humiliation of an earthly cross. He was fully tempted yet was without sin. For those of you who struggle with the word sin, it's real simple. It's an archer's term. Where the bullseye is and where the arrow lands, that's called the sin distance. How far you've fallen from perfection. And there are none righteous. No, not one. And we've all missed the mark, the bullseye, and we try to get to God by our efforts, but there is no effort that will bring us back into the presence of a of a righteous God. You see, the wages of sin is death. Charlie knew this, and at an early age, he entrusted his life to the savior of the world. Jesus came to this earth, was tempted in all ways, yet was without sin, was crucified upon a cross. His blood was poured out because blood must be shed for the remission of sins. And his death upon that cross was sufficient for all the world's sins, but only efficient for those who, like Charlie, would receive him as their savior. Jesus has come to seek and save that which is lost. And I would say this to all of you. The Lord loves you. He wants to save you. He wants to give you a new life. He wants to cover the multitude of your sins by the blood he shed upon the cross. The Bible says if you believe in your heart and you confess with your tongue Jesus is Lord, you will be saved to the glory of the father. You see, Charlie looked at politics as an on-ramp to Jesus. He knew if he could get all of you rowing in the streams of liberty, you'd come to its source, and that's the Lord. [Applause] In the time I have remaining, I'm going to ask all who profess Christ as their savior to remain seated. The Bible says, "If you profess me before man, I'll profess you before my father in heaven." And it requires an act of faith. You stand. That's what Charlie did every day on campus with death threats. He stood because he knew in whom he had trusted. And he wants to give you the gift of the why and what he did. And that is his savior Jesus. While believers are seated, if there's any in this room and across the globe that would desire to receive Jesus as their savior, as Charlie did as a young man, and now is in the presence of his savior, I'm going to ask you to put action to your faith. And I'd ask you to stand right now to receive the Lord. Don't be ashamed. Stand. Amen. Amen. Amen. The Bible says, The Bible says that when one sinner gives their heart to the Lord, the angels in heaven rejoice. And I got to tell you, there's one up there right now, Charlie Kirk. He's stoked and he's excited about your commitment to his savior. for this remaining moment. If you've given your heart to the Lord and someone is seated next to you, I want that person who's a believer to stand and pray with you and and please up on the screen, I want you to take a picture of this QR code. We are going to give you everything you need to walk this walk with Christ. Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God. And it's time to get into a Bible believing church. And pastors, if you didn't want to give Charlie Kirk the time a day, these folks are going to be showing up at your church. And they're there because of his life. God bless you and may the Lord keep you. Amen. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Ladies and gentlemen, please stand and join us for the national anthem. Word. Hulk cults present arms. Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we held at the twilight last gleaming, whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight for the ramparts we were so gallently streaming and the rockets red glare. The bells bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still burn. [Music] Oh s as star spangle better way for the land of the free and the home of the Heat. [Music] Heat. [Applause] Please welcome to the stage Rebecca Dunn. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Charlie Kirk was scheduled to speak at my husband's upcoming memorial. Instead, I am here speaking at Charlie's memorial. It means a lot to share my story. Almost 12 years ago, I met this bright young man filled with optimism about his plan to reach young people. I was so impressed that I invited him to come to our home and tell my husband and me more about his organization. That young man of course was Charlie Kirk and his organization was Turning Point USA. Charlie told us how he wanted to start two chapters in North Florida. When asked how much money it would take, he told us he thought it would take about $50,000. Not knowing anything about this young man except that he sounded impressive, we told him that if he could raise the first half, we would give him the remaining 25,000. Two days later, Charlie called to say that he had raised the money. He He was not in his hometown. He was not even in his home state. He was 20 years old. And yet he met our challenge. I laughed and I told him, I said, "Well, Charlie, I guess we owe you a check." That was Charlie Kirk's first challenge grant. After that initial grant, we followed suit with multiple challenge grants, each one larger than the previous, eventually growing into the millions. In the early days, Charlie felt like a son to me. More recently, I was the one looking up to him. Charlie never disappointed. He met every challenge with optimism and grit. Today, I feel like Charlie is challenging us. Will we meet his challenge to fight for freedom, for family, for faith? More importantly, will we do this the way that Charlie did with a heart that loves God? Before you answer that question, I would like to share something else with you. Shortly before I met Charlie, I had become very discouraged about the atmosphere in our country. I even suggested to my husband that maybe we should stop trying. It seemed that the money and time we were giving to freedom causes did not seem to be making a difference. Bill asked me to read an article by Larry Reid. The essence of the article said this. If we truly believed in freedom, we must never stop trying to preserve it. We had a moral obligation to fight for freedom. And as long as there is a breath in our bodies, we must fight. [Applause] By encountering Charlie, we met a true freedom fighter. Today, there is no doubt that Charlie Kirk fought for freedom with the last breath in his body. Thank you, Charlie Kirk. [Applause] And thank you to everyone who will not stop fighting. To all who will meet the challenge Charlie gave us. Thank you. [Applause] [Music] Please welcome to the stage Larry Arn. [Music] Good morning. We had the pastor. I'm the school teacher. I have uh one short story to tell you about Charlie Kirk, my friend. He became a friend of mine because I interrogated him one time. 19 year olds are my specialty. I asked him some questions he couldn't answer and he was already becoming famous and I noticed his reaction. He said, "What should I do?" And I said, "Well, you have to suffer. If you want to grow, you have to suffer. It's hard to learn into the night. Crackle dawn in the morning. Start with the Bible. Read the classics. Study the founding of America. In those places, you will find that there's a ladder that reaches up toward God. And at the bottom of it is the ordinary good things that are around us everywhere. If we can call them by their names, they have being. And the beings of the good things are figments of God. You will find that article in Aristotle. You will find it in the Bible. You will find it in Madison and Jefferson. How do I learn that? He said, I said, 'You have to suffer. You have to study. You have to think. I thought I'd never hear from him again. Within a month, he got hold of my cell phone number and he texted me a copy of a certificate of completion of a Hillsdale College online course. He would go on to do that 31 times. I keep a list in my head of the six or eight young people and I'm very privileged. I get to know many inspiring young people who are the best I ever saw. Charlie is the only one who was never a full-time student at Helldoc College who was on that list. We will miss him dearly. He can't be replaced. Do you know a good thing is a thing that has being? An assassin is not a thing that has being. The assassin must give up his humanity to destroy something that has being. Charlie lives on. The assassin will die. [Applause] My wife, who's here with me today, uh, and I have set up a scholarship in the hope that Charlie's children will go to a good college. I have one in mind. And this May the 9th, uh Erica doesn't know this yet, we are going to give Charlie and Erica the greatest respect a college can give, an honorary degree. [Applause] Charlie, you see, has suffered enough. He's gone to the Lord. He deserves his reward. Thank you. [Applause] [Music] My name is thous. [Music] Please welcome Mikey McCoy, Stacy Sheridan, Tyler Ber, and Justin Strife. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Hello everyone. My name is Mikey McCoy. I had the unique honor, blessing, and privilege of a lifetime to not only call Charlie a precious friend, mentor, but to travel with him literally everywhere. The first time I met Charlie was when I was driving him and his then girlfriend Erica to the airport after he had spoken at my father's church. The entire car ride he was grilling me on Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, American history. At the end he said, "Don't go to college. Come work for me instead." At 18, I canceled my college plans, moved to Arizona. My life was forever changed by Charlie. All of us in this room have that in common. My first day working at Turning Point, I met an incredible girl who Charlie was interviewing on his podcast, sharing the story of her family who had survived a totalitarian regime, whose grandfather was imprisoned in the Goologs for 10 years for preaching the gospel. Elizabeth and I were married a year later. Thank you, Charlie. When Charlie would speak on college campuses, he'd often wear t-shirts with inspiring taglines like, "Here I am. Never surrender, freedom." But as I've watched back so many clips these past 11 days, my favorite and so often warned by him was live free. 11 days ago, my friend was martyed for using his voice to engage in peaceful dialogue. Charlie's assassin thought that he could steal and silence his voice by putting a bullet in his neck. In the words of Saurin Kiergard, "The tyrant dies and his rule is over. The martyr dies and his rule has just begun. Charlie was not silenced. His movement is only beginning. The voices of millions globally have been awakened, furthering his cause in mission far beyond anyone's comprehension. We won't cower in fear. We will never surrender. We are resolved to live free from lies and seek out what is true. We will respectfully, boldly challenge what is accepted by culture in order to seek out what is true and acceptable to God Almighty alone. To eve
