Prayer on Capitol Hill
"How does one encourage the leadership, people in power, to spend time in prayer? You may think this is an oxymoron. Since living in the District of Columbia we have facilitated 12 State Prayer Breakfasts on Capitol Hill. Each event has drawn about 80-100 persons connected with the particular state." In his most recent newsletter, Chuck Garriott reflects on how Ministry to State encourages our leaders to pray, and reports on encouraging meetings with members of Congress. Click here to read more.
