New Ministry to Begin in South Carolina Capitol

July 2012

The Lord has been gracious to allow us to help facilitate a new ministry in the South Carolina State Capitol set to begin when Session starts back in January of 2013. I would like to introduce to you some of the partners in this open door of opportunity.

Congressman Joe Wilson: “Being a sponsor of Capitol Ministries here in Washington D.C., I am excited to stand together with Columbia International University as they partner to launch this new ministry in the South Carolina State Capitol.

“Before being elected to the United States Congress in 2001, I served in the South Carolina State House for 7 years. Given our State and Nation’s need for strong leadership, it is important that we foster strong ministries at all levels of Government for the maturation of elected officials in the Christian Faith.”

President Bill Jones: “What a privilege to serve our Lord in the State House! On behalf of the Board of Directors of Columbia International University we are honored to be asked to serve our state leaders in a way that helps them spiritually to be “strong in the Lord and the strength of His might.” We look forward to the launch of this new weekly ministry at the beginning of Session next year. In the months leading up to this we ask for your faithful prayers.”

Please be praying for this new ministry!

“How has Capitol Ministries aided my service to the United States of America? It has aided me in my preparation. The Bible study has guided me to deeper, more meaningful discernment of God’s Word as it relates to serving in the government because this is a tough job.The lessons learned in the fellowship of believers have practical applications that aid in resisting and avoiding temptation. Certainly, Capitol Ministries has aided me in terms of discipleship. Capitol Ministries Bible studies have given me growing confidence to spread the good news.So where is the impact of Capitol Ministries felt in my life? Frankly, everywhere. Both inside and outside the beltway. I thank you for your faithful ministry, for bringing the Word of God, for bringing a Bible study, evangelism, and discipleship all around the globe and certainly here on Capitol Hill. I truly appreciate it.”

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.
