Show Faith by Works is based in San Diego, California and was founded by Chad Schnitger.[4][5]

History

[edit]

In September 2025, officials with Show Faith by Works filed under Foreign Agents Registration Act that they were launching a $3.2 million digital marketing and influence campaign in support of Israel through grassroots and digital targeting in the western U.S.[4][6] The campaign was described as the "largest Christian church geofencing campaign in U.S. history," with targets including churches and Christian college campuses in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado.[4][7] Churches in Texas were also targeted.[8][9]
