" Evangelical pastors as a whole have largely overlooked the importance
of building effective ministries that disciple local government leaders for
Christ. With over 40,000 local governments in America, we need to birth
ministries similar to what Youth for Christ and CRU and Baptist Collegiate
Ministry are doing on high school and college campuses. If we are to
truly 'Make America Great Again,' as defined by Scripture, initiating
these kinds of outposts is essential. Statistics indicate that most of our
political leaders in state capitols and Washington, D.C., were once city
council members. In his book Oaks in Office, Ralph Drollinger provides an
invaluable tool to equip pastors and laymen with pertinent Bible studies
to initiate discipleship ministries with those serving in local government.
I highly recommend this excellent resource."
