Former Century Mayor McCall Receives Annual ‘God In Government’ Award
January 29, 2017
Former Century Mayor Freddie McCall received the 2017 God in Government Award Saturday at the 41st Annual Governmental Prayer Breakfast at New World Landing in Pensacola.
“I am honored to be in the same house as other recipients,” McCall told about 500 attendees.
Recent honorees include Escambia School Superintendent Malcolm Thomas, Federal Judge Roger Vinson, Judge Terry Terrell, Sheriff David Morgan and Supervisor of Elections David Stafford.
“To God be all the glory,” McCall said.
The purpose of prayer breakfast, which transcends denominational and political affiliation, is to encourage moral and spiritual values in government. The breakfast was started by a group of ministers from the Greater Cantonment-Ensley Ministerial Alliance is today led by a diverse committee that believes in preserving the original mission of encouraging moral and spiritual values in government.

Most people don’t realize that our government was founded by the persecuted church. Without the church there would be no America. During the first 100 years of our country ministers were brought before congress to preach before congressional hearings. Our Nations capital is covered with quotes from the bible…a mural of Moses as the great law giver hangs in the house of Congress. The Washington monument has permanent bible versus engraved in it. The liberty bell has a verse from the book of Leviticus..our freedoms and liberties come from the bible…thers a reason why the statue of George Washington’s hand is held out flat…He was taking is oath on the bible…Our government was designed to be influenced by the church and the bible but not the former to influence the latter.
Remove the influence of The Bible and we cease to be what we were!

if you have Gods people in government you will get the same result as having church in government. i like that.
I know this man and I have to agree with this year’s choice. Always put God first.
Congratulations!! A well deserved achievement .
It’s an honor to know you.
I 100% believe in God. But the church wishes to keep government out of them so I say same keep the church out of government
