Washington, DC: Friday

Being that Friday was the conclusion of the conference, I knew I wouldn't be gallivanting off and doing more sightseeing.  But I really enjoyed listening to the sessions and interacting more with the conference attendees.  I was encouraged to take as many pictures as possible to preserve the events of the day.

Matt preached from Daniel 9 this morning.

Pam Russell spoke to the ladies on a woman's role in ministering to elected leaders.

Before the conclusion of the morning session, Luciano and his wife presented us with thank you gifts for helping them with the conference.  Here Matt was given a book on Argentina and Miriam a shawl of sorts handmade in Argentina!

That evening David Gibbs, President of The National Center for Life and Liberty, addressed the group.  Here we are with him as a team:

One of the highlights for me this trip was meeting other state directors with Capitol Commission from around the country.  I met men from California, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina.  It was a joy to spend time with them during the week and see their heart for ministry in the political arena.

This is perhaps one of the best shots from the week (thanks to Miriam!) that captures the heart of these godly men as well as the source of their ability for ministry where God has placed them.

Although it's a little fuzzy, here's a picture of the Parlamento & Fe staff who supports Luciano in ministry to Argentine leaders:

And before the conference concluded that evening, Luciano had one person from each country present at the conference come forward to the front.  It was an amazing realization!

It was a late evening saying good-bye to new friends and cleaning up the conference room.  God had answered so many prayers the last several days and blessed the conference in wonderful ways that our hearts rejoiced with thanksgiving.  We look forward to seeing how God will use the seeds that were sown to His praise and glory.
