So yea, I tried everything I could to sell this thing. It seems that I cant just reach out to all the potential buyers. Im sure there are churches loaded with money that would die for this painting but I dont know how to contact them. Should I buy emaillists, and send emails to every single church in america? What would you do?

you should insure it until it's sold
getting it appraised by the insurer might help you get connections and at least protect it in case something happens

should take it to some big antique auction place, like the equivalent of Christies or Sothebys in the uk
they will advertise it in the right circles

Find an auction house on either the East Coast, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.
Make sure the auction event you attend with it is paired with some kind of special history/art theme. It has to be the biggest history or art history event of the year.
That's how you'll clean house anon.
