JOIN US AT THE CAPITOL! CLICK HERE
Imagine the impact of hundreds of Texas pastors, representing the denominational, regional, and demographic diversity of the evangelical church, coming together to give Bibles to governing officials and to pray with them. If you are a pastor in Texas, you do not want to miss this unique opportunity!
iNSPIRING THE CHURCH
In Romans 13:1-7 we read that God established the institution of government for our good, that He sovereignly places each leader in that government, and we are to honor, respect and obey them. We also see throughout God’s word that He calls His spiritual shepherds to come alongside the ministers/shepherds of government to provide His vision and direction. Examples include Joseph to Pharoah, Jethro to Moses, Daniel to four emperors in two kingdoms, Nathan to David, and so many more.
The Church Ambassador Network’s mission is to inspire the Church to engage government for the advance of God’s Kingdom. We do that by facilitating relationships between governing officials and the shepherds of the Church. Our desire is to advance God’s kingdom by sharing the Gospel of Jesus, and to promote good governance that honors Biblical principles and benefits the entire state.
To that end, we are hosting the Pastors Day at the Texas Capitol on January 27 and 28. We will bring pastors from across the state to gather for prayer and worship on the evening of the 27th, and then to distribute personalized Study Bibles to state officials, and pray over them to start the new legislative session.
