New Ministry Launched to Reach Federal Public Servants in El Salvador

November 2014

Many people around the world have hearts to reach their government leaders for Christ, and through Capitol Ministries, that desire can be realized, said Mario Monterroza, who has been approved as the Ministry Leader in the federal capitol in El Salvador.

The Capitol Ministries Board of Directors approved Pastor Monterroza for the position after he successfully completed training at the Nov 4-8 conference in Palm Desert, California.

“God is a true God of mercy,” said Pastor Monterroza, who is the pastor of a missions-driven congregation. “The Lord strategically places the weight of the desire for reaching other people on different shoulders of men of every nation. He doesn’t place one heavy burden on one man alone. Ralph and Danielle were chosen by God to be given this passion and the desire to reach the capital cities of every nation, and to share with us, the weight of this passion. This is how God distributes his mercy and love for others so that we are all one in reaching other countries for God.”

For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3:9

“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.
