We teach students in public high schools across Florida the significance religion has played in American & Florida history. Where it all really came from. What the intent and practice of our founding father rely was. This program uses vetted well developed video and print materials which examine how faith played an extremely important part of the earliest Americans' societal motivations, significantly influenced every aspect of social and political structure, and was at the heart of many of the laws which governed early and American society to date. As opposed to the fanciful amoral construct presented across the board today, religion in fact played a vital role in everyday life and the political direction of the Colonies, the early United States, and American laws, morals, and life until perhaps only fifty years ago when that fact began to be hidden.News and Events

C.O.P.S. provides resources to help them rebuild their shattered lives. There is no membership fee to join C.O.P.S., for the price paid is already too high.
Only now is the extraordinary story of the Florida martyrs fully emerging
As noted elsewhere, the In God We Trust Foundation, Inc. was privileged to fund and award $75,000 to The Martyrs of La Florida Missions, Inc. for teaching the significance of religion in American & Florida history.
From 1549 to 1761 many priests and natives were killed in evangelizing the faith in our nation's colonial land known as La Florida.
It is a seamless story that began in 1549 with the courageous landing of the Dominicans in Tampa Bay – and ended in 1761 in Pensacola as three Apalachee Indians were killed trying to protect the Eucharist.
For example, Antonio Cuipo was an Apalachee Indian and chief. Husband and father, teacher of the Catechism, singer, guitar and flute player, carpenter devoted to St. Joseph, Antonio was respected and loved by native and Spanish alike. He evangelized natives with flute music while he shared the news of the Incarnation. His joy and zeal brought many natives to the Faith. Antonio’s life ended tied to a cross, consoled, he said, to die like Jesus.
Only now is the extraordinary story of the Florida martyrs fully emerging. From an early date poets, artisans, chroniclers, religious superiors, a duke, a king, governors, and bishops had commemorated the saintly deaths of the Florida martyrs, and some had even anticipated their canonization.
