The bill, H. 5302, is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor World Harvest evangelist Jacob Ebersole and to recognize May 1-3, 2026, as "Charleston Crusade 2026" in the state. The resolution acknowledges South Carolina's historic Christian heritage and encourages citizens to voluntarily rededicate themselves and the state to Almighty God through prayer, repentance, and moral renewal. It highlights the importance of faith in the state's founding documents and traditions, as well as the role of such gatherings in seeking divine guidance and moral clarity.
The resolution also notes the upcoming national gathering on May 17, 2026, in Washington, D.C., which aims to call for the United States to be dedicated to God as a nation. The General Assembly expresses its recognition of the significant impact faith has had on the moral and civic foundations of both South Carolina and the United States. A copy of the resolution will be presented to Jacob Ebersole in acknowledgment of his leadership in organizing the Charleston Crusade.
