Dr. Benjamin Carson: From local office to D.C., Bible Studies for political leaders pay “Tremendous Dividends”

“Ralph has started Bible studies for the White House Cabinet, the Senate, the House, state legislators, and in foreign nations around the world and now, local government. I highly support this effort.

“Local government is often the birthplace of those who will become state and national leaders. Providing a firm foundation early in their careers will not only benefit policies in our bedrock communities but will also set these leaders on a firm path as they move to higher office. It is particularly important today because there is a falling away from our Judeo-Christian heritage and the very future of our nation is in jeopardy.

“We live in troubling times as many try to replace the values and principles that are foundational to the success of our nation. The aforementioned endeavors to engage with civic leaders at the local level right through to the White House will pay tremendous dividends for us and for those who come after us.”

Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, attends Ralph Drollinger’s weekly Bible study to former White House Cabinet Members and Senior Staff. Learn more at capmin.org/ministries.

Bible Study Members

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

Torrey Lewis

Local Government Ministry | Hillsboro, Oregon

A few weeks ago, members of our Hillsboro Bible study began discussing when life begins. To teach them the biblical perspective, I gave the members copies of “God’s View of Babies Inside and Outside the Womb” which was written by Ralph Drollinger, President and Founder of Capitol Ministries who leads Bible studies to U.S. senators and representatives every week on the Hill in Washington, D.C. Among many Scriptures quoted in the study was Psalm 139:13: For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb.

This verse points out that God is at work in the formation of the baby inside the womb, thus, life begins at the point of conception.

The next week one of the members of the Bible study reported that a voter had called to ask his position on this issue.

The candidate was equipped to share confidently his prolife stance as a result of the Bible study materials and our discussion.

Capitol Ministries Bible studies are helping upcoming leaders learn the Word of God in a way that brings out its applicability to our modern lives.

I am continuingly impressed by the applicability of God’s Word to our present time.
