America’s Covenant

Rev. Robert Hunt, Cape Henry, 1607

Not everyone who came to America starting in 1607 was God-fearing. Some sought wealth, power, and freedom from their past lives.

But many, like Anglican priest Robert Hunt, came for a higher purpose—a land dedicated to God's Kingdom.

Commissioned by King James I, the English monarch behind the 1611 King James Bible, Hunt set out to establish a new Christian church and share the message of salvation with America's native tribes.

On December 19, 1606, Hunt left his family in England and joined the Virginia Company expedition as chaplain.

In the freezing December of 1606, he was among the 105 colonists who set sail for the New World aboard three small ships on the River Thames.

This voyage led to the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, the first English settlement in the New World.

We will discover much more in these newsletters. There will be a website too.

From God’s point of view, covenants and prayers never die. They are cumulative. We can, in a real sense, restore these founding wells and release the water from that season … into our time.

Here’s our first prayer emphasis — a Kingdom covenant made in 1607 on the Atlantic shore of what would be the colony of Virginia.

❝

We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this Land, along with England, be Evangelist to the World. May all who see this Cross, remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this Covenant and in this most noble work that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled.
