Exciting news from Guatemala!

August 2015

Danielle and I just arrived back from a wonderful trip to the Republic of Guatemala in Central America.

There, we met with our friend and host Mario Bucaro, whom I have nicknamed Super Mario! Mario introduced us to many of his ministry partners — very influential individuals who have formed an organization to reach Guatemala and the surrounding Central and South American, as well as the numerous, small Caribbean countries for Christ. These resourceful individuals have a passion for the Gospel.

What was most exciting during our meetings was our discovery that the Holy Spirit had laid the same objectives on all our hearts! During our stay we were able to meet with several great ministry leader candidates for the federal capital and also with four Christian Guatemalan Congressmen who also indicated a desire to take the next step toward making disciples in the Capitol Community.

Capitol Ministries is looking forward to partnering together to found many new ministries throughout this area of the world. Plans are for Mario and his fellow ministry partners to participate in our Fall Training Conference in Washington DC, November 11-15.

Capitol Ministries now has representation in 6 of the 12 missional affinity spheres of the world as we continue our mission to plant discipleship Bible studies in political arenas from local US city and county governments to federal foreign nations around the globe.

We are grateful for your prayers that the partnerships and relationships we are creating will continue to produce fruit for the Kingdom.

State Representative Vicki Strong

Vermont

“When Capitol Ministries asked if I would be interested in sponsoring a Bible study to members of the Vermont Legislature, I said, ‘Oh yes. We need this. We are thirsty souls in a very dry land.’

“It is because of the influence of the Capitol Ministries Bible study that I had a certain boldness to share the Lord. I had confidence and the desire to say, ‘I can do this,’ instead of hunkering down and hiding. It has given me a lot of courage in my personal witness and boldness.

“The Bible study gives encouragement to those legislators who come and offers us fellowship which we would not otherwise have in that building. We are standing together as Christians with a Christian world view and we recognize that we are serving the Lord in the work we are doing. We would feel very alone and isolated otherwise.

“The Capitol Ministries Bible study builds our strength, our faith, and our courage, even the courage to vote the way we do on prolife issues and other matters. It gives us the boldness to stand for what we believe and not feel overwhelmed.”

Rep. Strong is the sponsor of and participates in the Bible study Pastor Rosaire Bisson began leading to the Vermont Legislature in 2019.

Ministry Quotes

Dr. Dan DeShong

As CapMin’s Director of Local Government Ministries, I am seeking qualified candidates to establish weekly Bible studies to city and county elected and appointed public servants across the United States. I also led the first LGM Bible study to city and county commissioners in the greater Sacramento, CA area. I taught the curriculum, Oaks in Office: Biblical Essays for Political Leaders, which contains the most pertinent Bible studies Ralph Drollinger, President and Founder of Capitol Ministries, has authored to meet the spiritual, personal, and professional needs of Christian legislators over his more than 25 year ministry. Our Sacramento group is still meeting to study the Bible and we are studying Oaks in Office a second time.

The experience was exhilarating to say the least! None of us had any idea that the Bible had so much to say about immigration, parenting, racism, deficit spending, and other contemporary issues. One elected official had planned to leave politics and now he says, “No wonder God has me in this position!“

As Christians, we sort of take biblical precepts and doctrines for granted, but when the issues are broken out in specific chapters like Ralph has done in Oaks in Office, they become very clear and very real.

This first group was pretty excited about this study and will be sharing their story with city and county commissioners around the country. Who knows where God will take this?

Ministries to local government public servants have been planted in California, Texas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Idaho, Missouri, Ohio, and in dozens of provinces and territories in European nations.
