ALE WALKER DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE WHEN HE BEGAN MINISTERING to the
members of the New York Legislature in 2013, and had difficulty establishing a formal Bible study, so he
began knocking on doors.
His first call was a Legislator whom
God had put on his heart and aer a
friendly 45-minute conversation, Dale
asked if the Legislator knew what it
meant to be born again. e Legislator
said he wasn't sure, so Dale explained
the Gospel.
"e next thing I knew I was asking
him if he wanted to ask Christ to come
into his heart and he said he did. He
reached over and closed the door and
accepted Christ." Dale continued to
visit other Legislators in their offices and
when session was over, he drove all across
the state of New York and visited with
them in their districts.
During the first 18 months of
his ministry, Dale led 13 Legislators
and one L eg islative
Director to Christ and
is in the process of
disciplining them.
Today Dale has
a formal Bible study
that is regularly at-
tended by more than a
dozen Legislators.
e Lawmakers
are so enthusiastic
about the study
that they asked
to hold the Bi-
ble study in a telephone conference call
during the summer months when the
Legislature is not in session.
"One thing I have learned is that
God makes divine appointments and
He can cause me to meet anyone He
wants me to meet," Dale said. "I think
that is because God wants people
to know Him and I am a Gospel
on wheels."
