Stockton Mayor Lincoln: I Prayed for Wisdom... “God Brought Me Capitol Ministries”

Kevin Lincoln, mayor of Stockton, CA recently spoke to CapMin ministry leaders about the powerful impact that discipleship Bible study ministries have on America’s public servants. Here is what he said:

“When I first took office in January 2021, I prayed and asked the Lord to give me wisdom and put the right people in my path to encourage me and keep me rooted in the Word of the Lord so that I may make good decisions for the city of Stockton. And God brought me Capitol Ministries.

“I am really thankful for this ministry and thankful for my leader, Greg. I am also thankful for all [of CapMin’s ministry leaders] who answer the call to serve the leaders of states and reach the hearts and lives of other elected officials.

“Sometimes we’ve had to take time off due to our schedule, and when we resumed, the Bible studies were perfect for that season. To me, that is the power of the Lord and the Holy Spirit because He knows exactly what we need.

“I want to encourage you all. I am so thankful and extremely indebted to Capitol Ministries. May God bless you all and your families.”

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.
