I am excited to announce, while
remaining President of my non-profit 501(c)(3) Grace Adventures, I have chosen
to affiliate and partner with the Capitol Commission as their chaplain to the State
Capitol in Baton Rouge. The motto of the Capitol Commission is “Reaching
Capitol Communities for Christ.” The mandate is not to reform society through
political influence or legislation, but to be a vehicle of God in transforming
the hearts and minds of elected officials with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
This national organization has chaplains in about half of the fifty states and
is well on its way to all fifty. I will serve as their state leader for
Louisiana.

“Capitol Commission shares with government
leaders and legislators of every political persuasion the love of God as
proclaimed through the gospel of Jesus Christ, challenging them to live a
transformed life personally and professionally that is founded upon biblical
truth. I commend this strategic and vital ministry to you.”

Lotz, president of AnGeL Ministries
“Believing the Gospel is non-partisan, and
needed by all, Capitol Commission
has the vision of sharing the Good News with
all who are in government, no matter their political affiliation. Great idea!
And Biblical!” –Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, Senior
Pastor of the Moody Church, Chicago

Prayer for Leaders and Our Ministry
One of my colleagues was talking
with a Christian man who was ranting and raving about the political condition
of our nation. He took a breath and asked the man a quick question, “How about praying for the salvation of
these people?” The man stopped, thought, and then replied with a simple and
blunt, “NO!” Has it come to this? Does mudslinging,
scandalizing, distortions and bitterness have to rule the day? Isn’t an honest
discussion in the public square superior? Shouldn’t our spiritual beliefs
overshadow and direct our political beliefs? 1 Timothy 2:1-4 commands us to
pray for our leaders. Would you pray for Donna and me as well?
1. Pray for the 2014 Louisiana Legislative
Session that kicks off March 10th and runs through June 2nd. I am committed to
work at the Capitol three days a week during the next three months and still
keep everything else going. Pray for the Legislators, Lobbyists and Staff Bible
studies as they are launched.
2. Praise for the New Orleans Leaders Forum. One
of the men in this group created a major movie that will appear in your
neighborhood theatre next month entitled, “God’s Not Dead.” Check it out!
3. Pray for our latest endeavors … Creating a
Northshore Leaders Forum … Hosting a 13-week TV series on apologetics, and
speaking one of the weeks.
4. Pray for Donna and continued knee issues.
5. Praise for people’s lives being transformed.
Pray for the seven people sharing a slice of their story on April 4 at our 3rd
Anniversary Event. All are welcome.
