- Praise God a bill which a legislator asked for input specifically from pastors on just passed the House this month by a vote of 54 – 4! The bill allows judges the additional diversion option for juveniles of religious services attendance, in cases of less serious crimes. We were blessed to have had three pastors who are part of Church Ambassador Network give input on this bill. Now onto the Senate for debate and a vote!
- We met with a weary legislator who was nearly teary-eyed when the pastor encouraged him in the middle of his busiest week of legislative session with Isaiah 40:15. The application? The only way to have our strength renewed is to wait, or hope, upon the Lord.
- We are excited to report that a State Representative has expressed interest in attending Along Side Ministries’ monthly worship service at a state prison near the State Capitol.
- God has provided another pastor in Coolidge, Arizona that would like to be part of this ministry to state government leaders. And, we are excited to report that God has laid it on the hearts of two more parachurch ministries, one in Phoenix and one in Prescott, to join the Church Ambassador Network!
