While good legislation is important, the Bible tells us to concentrate first on making good lawmakers by reaching their hearts with the gospel of Jesus Christ: “…bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel (Acts 9:15).” For almost 20 years now, Capitol Ministries has been singularly focused on making disciples of Jesus Christ in the political arena throughout the world.
What Makes Capitol Ministries Different?
We do things a little differently than do most nonprofits that are in the political arena. Even though Capitol Ministries has planted discipleship Bible studies in the U.S. Capitol, 40 state Capitols, and two dozen federal Capitols across the globe, we stay out of politics all together…
