"Ministering to city and county
public servants is crucial. ese
are our neighbors, people who
work in our backyard and to
reach their hearts for the Lord
is the call of our mission. I've
been meeting with many of
them one-on-one, sharing Bible
studies and praying for them,
their families, and issues they're
dealing with. ese people are
across the spectrum from atheist
to strong believer, and aer they
learn there is no ulterior motive,
every response has been positive.
e other day I met with an
atheist whom I've been sharing
Bible studies with, and I offered
to pray about an issue he was
having. And he said, 'Torrey, if
you could pray for that, it would
be great.'
"An atheist asked for prayer.
"I see this as a wonderful sign. It's
a matter of keeping our hands
to the plough and continuing to
build relationships and letting
Christ lead our conversations
because He's doing the work."

"It opened my eyes to the fact
that government officials are an
unreached people group."
