HOUSTON, TX – Hope Media Group (HMG) partnered with Christians Engaged, producer of the historic “America Reads The Bible” live event at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., April 18–25, 2026, where nearly 500 national leaders read the entire Bible aloud over the course of the week.

Through this partnership, HMG leveraged its multi-platform reach to connect its audience with the "One Week. One Nation. One Book." movement. The initiative celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States by reconnecting the country with its spiritual foundations.

Media Collaboration: HMG joined other media partners, including Great American Pureflix which provided the national livestream for the event.
Influential Participation: The reading featured notable figures such as actresses Candace Cameron Bure and Patricia Heaton, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Pastor Jack Graham contributing to the cover-to-cover marathon.
