World Outreach Church Welcomed 2,000 to “Defending the Truth” Exhibit
Traveling exhibit featured rare artifacts, welcomed local students, and highlighted America’s faith-filled history
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 4, 2026) – World Outreach Church welcomed 2,000 people and three local school field trips to its campus April 24–26 for Defending the Truth, presented by the American Journey Experience and WallBuilders. Defending the Truth is a traveling museum and research library that brings America’s history to life through rare artifacts, historical documents, and immersive exhibits.
Several of the artifacts that were on display are rarely seen outside private collections, which gave visitors a unique opportunity to encounter pieces of American history typically reserved for museums and research archives. Participants viewed one-of-a-kind artifacts and rare historical items while learning about the faith, courage, and leadership of America’s founding figures and unsung heroes. Artifacts included:
- Personal belongings of George Washington
- An original copy of the first draft of the Declaration of Independence
- Artifacts from America’s pivotal wars
- Bibles that played a role in the formation of the nation
- Artifacts from Jamestown and Plymouth
The American Journey Experience highlights the story of the United States from the time of Christopher Columbus through the Space Race, highlighting the people, events, and biblical principles that helped shape the nation’s moral and constitutional foundation.
WallBuilders is dedicated to presenting America’s forgotten history and emphasizing the moral, Christian, and constitutional principles upon which the nation was built. WallBuilders frequently partners with the American Journey Experience to present this unique collection across the country.
Renowned historians David Barton and Tim Barton, founders of WallBuilders, were the guest speakers during church services as well over the weekend, sharing their historical and biblical perspectives on the founding of the United States.
“We were grateful to welcome so many people from our community throughout the weekend, including students and educators, as well as David Barton and Tim Barton” said Pastor Allen Jackson, senior pastor of World Outreach Church. “When we give our time and energy to things that honor the Lord, He brings results we could never accomplish on our own. It was encouraging to see so many people engaging with our nation’s history and the role faith has played in shaping it.”
