Is the Ministry to State the PCAs version of a Washington DCs lobbying office?
No, the Ministry to State is a ministry, not a lobbying emphasis. Many approach those who establish policy with an agenda of “needs and wants”. The individual or organization’s relationship to government is often based purely upon government providing some services, fund or policy change. There is nothing wrong with that relationship. Government exists to serve the needs of its people. We often refer to those in government as public servants. Ministry to government looks for ways of serving those in government with the hope that it will provide opportunities for spiritual discourse and a deeper understanding of the gospel.
