D I R E C TO R
DR. RANDY COVINGTON
NORTH
AMERICA
2025 YEAR END REPORT
I have been associated with this ministry since 2020 when
we a planned to launch our capitol ministry in Alaska.
Covid 19 postponed that plan, and we finally began in
2023. Following retirement in 2025, I began serving part-
time with Capitol Ministries as North America Director.
e last three months of 2025 was a period of moving to
Arizona and learning about this new role.
Let me begin with some statistics about the work among
our state capitols. We currently have the following :
• 28 active CapMin State Ministry Leaders
• 25 states with active CapMin Bible studies
• 12 states with Bible studies led by other than
CapMin leaders
• 9 states that do not have any kind of Bible study to
my knowledge
Unfortunately, we have had two recent retirements:
Mike Beresford, our ministry leader in Wisconsin, and
Keith Pugh in Alabama.
THREE MAJOR AREAS OF FOCUS
1. New Ministry Launches
ese are the anticipated launches for 2026:
• Nevada—Wayne Hoag has agreed to restart the Bible
study that was started by Dan Madison in Carson City,
Nevada.
• Georgia—I am planning to connect with Dan Perdue,
son of former Governor Sonny Perdue. I have also met
Eric Myers who is planning to plant a church in Georgia
and is interested in ministering to legislators.
• Wisconsin—I have communicated with Trey Turner,
SBC state executive who has some recommendations
for potential leaders. Paul Tittl, Wisconsin state
representative, is leading the Bible study currently.
• Mississippi—I have some potential candidates and
some great contacts and am working with Shawn Parker
to launch a ministry in 2026.
