State Ministries | CM 2017 27 "I've always had a heart for our coun- try," Bryan said. "I've always prayed 1Timothy 2 not realizing that more than calling us to pray, the Scripture was actually encouraging us to evangelize these leaders. at is the Great Commis- sion applied in one of the most effective ways! It was always there, but I didn't re- alize it before." Aer Ministry Leader training, Bry- an read Capitol Ministries®' book, Re- building America, e Biblical Blueprint and learned that a disciple or prophet always spoke to the great leaders in Old Testament empires and New Testament governments. "Knowing that empowered me. Instead of only praying about it, I re- alized I could be an answer to prayer by actually taking the Gospel to lead- ers. I thought, here is something I can do to make a difference. It got me very excited." Bryan believes many in the Capitol are hungry to hear good theolog y, and he is continuing to meet Legislators with the goal of finding one who will sponsor his ministry in the State Capitol in Hono- lulu, which is a 10-minute walk from his home. Once his ministry is established, Bryan plans to teach Capitol Ministries® Members Bible studies, with the goal of adding his own exegetical studies in time. Bryan's ministry will be covered in prayer by the members of Faith Chris- tian Church in Pearl City where he serves as Senior Pastor. "I am going to the Capitol definite- ly as a disciple maker," he said. "I will be teaching good sound doctrine so that Lawmakers will be transformed by it and so they themselves will be disciples and reach out to others and that is going to change how they make policy, how they vote, and it is going to cause a ripple effect that will transform our state and hopefully our nation too." RYAN SUZUI, NAMED MINISTRY LEADER for Legislators and Constitutional Officers in the state of Hawaii, always had compassion for government leaders, but it wasn't until he went through Capitol Ministries® training to become a Ministry Leader that he fully understood why.
