Capitol Call Women's Ministry

On Monday March 10, I had the great privilege of being involved in the very first Capitol Call Women's Day at the Indiana Statehouse!  The focus of this new ministry is imparting to women in the church the vision of praying for their leaders.  Our leader, Pam Russell, developed this vision while we were in Washington, DC together last November, so it was exciting to actually see it come to reality!

Being that this was our first one, we hand-selected a small group of women from Pam's church for our trial run.  We talked about the Scriptural mandate that women have in praying for their leaders, went on a Statehouse tour to learn how our government works, heard testimonies from several legislators on how much they value knowing that people are praying for them, gathered together in the Statehouse chapel room to pray together, and briefly observed the House and Senate in session.  It was a full morning and afternoon!

Here is our group picture:

I am excited to see how the Lord will expand this ministry in the months and years ahead!  We are planning to host at least three more Women's Statehouse Days this year, so if you know of a group of ladies from your church who be interested in participating and learning more about this ministry, please let me know.  We would love to host you for the day!
