Capitol Ministries

12 CM 2017 | Our Ministries HE POLITICAL ARENA OF THE WORLD IS OUR MISSION FIELD. Capitol Ministries® exist to help fulfill the Great Commission by bringing the Word of God to a nation's leaders from the start of their careers in local government to the highest levels they reach. Across our country — and around the world — Capitol Ministries® recruits, trains, and develops local Ministry Lead- ers, godly Bible teachers, who are skilled in evangelism and discipleship. We send them into the political com- munities and partner them with Legisla- tors who sponsor the ministries, provide a meeting place inside the capitol, and invite their colleagues to attend Bible studies. To those Legislators the Ministry Leaders deliver weekly in-depth exe- getical Bible studies that are specific to the personal as well as political deci- sion-making needs of these Public Ser- vants. ey disciple Christian Lawmak- ers, minister to them one-on-one, and evangelize those who do not know Him and lead them toward maturity in Christ. Our ambitious goal is to deliver the Gospel to every Public Servant in every capitol every year. We call this our Big Hairy Audacious Goal — our BHAG — and it is one we embrace with enthusiasm. To illustrate our BHAG, we use the all-American icon, the baseball dia- mond, to chart our course. Home plate represents the city halls and county governments of hometown America where many Public Servants begin their political careers. First base is state government which statistics show is a second stop for many local civic leaders. Second base is Washington, D.C. ministries to White House Cabinet Members, U.S. Senators, and Represen- tatives. ird Base represents international foreign federal capitols. T " I t is very beneficial for Lawmakers to be involved in a serious Bible study. We should look to the Bible for examples of leaders. In fact, when Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel spoke to a joint session of Congress he looked up from the speaker's rostrum and saw Moses staring down at him. Here is the face of Moses who provided the law. Capitol Ministries ® Bible study has been very helpful to me personally. I enjoy the accountability of a weekly study that keeps us in the Word, as well as the interac on and fellowship with other members which is a real encouragement." Steve Daines U.S. Senator Montana "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
