The Office of the Iowa Governor is not just another government office for the Church Ambassador Network. It is the office where this ministry began, matured, and has multiplied.
God has used our relationship with the Iowa Governor to build Church-State partnerships that have brought incredible transformation to our state, positioned the Church as a primary resource, served millions of Iowans, and taught leaders from across the nation a biblical model for partnership with government. This partnership is not rooted in political gain, but in a heart to serve.
Through this office, we built relationships with HHS and saw Iowa’s foster care numbers drop from 8,000 to 3,200. We navigated COVID lockdowns without a stay-at-home order, helped build a culture of life, strengthened parents’ rights throughout the education system, and built a foundation of partnership between local churches and state departments for administrations to come.
It is our desire that the Office of the Iowa Governor continue to be an embassy to our world as we host people in Iowa and tell God’s story of transformation through Church-State Partnership. We want to model our ministry off of the prophet Daniel, who ministered to four administrations and three empires. It is our desire to serve administration after administration, demonstrating the faithful presence of God and the unshakable nature of His Kingdom.
Over the past few months, we have been preparing for this transition in several ways:
It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve this administration, and we look forward to this work continuing for many years to come!
