Join with other like-minded individuals who have a passion to see God and His Word exalted and honored in our state and nation once again. If you weren’t able to attend our last Lobby Day in March, this is a perfect opportunity to receive training and be mentored by our experienced Lobby Team Leaders that will walk you through the process. If you have never lobbied before, this is the perfect time for you to come and learn.
Many “newbies” gave rave reviews about the March Lobby Day
“Wow, this was easy and so fun.”
“I really appreciated my Team Leader and felt confident and comfortable throughout the day because she knew what to do.”
“The training was excellent, and I really enjoyed the tour of the Capitol.”
“It was great visiting the offices and actually talking with a legislator, I learned so much! I will do this again.”
“The materials prepared for us were so professional, and I was very impressed with all the presentations.”
The training on Sunday is required to participate in Lobby Day on Monday. If you have received training from us previously, training is not mandatory yet encouraged as we will cover new information. Watch for more information to come such as times, locations, topics, speakers and the issue on which we will be lobbying.

Simi Valley We Can Do It! A Day of Encouragement and Activation
Saturday, June 22, 2013
Registration: To be determined
Time: 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Location: To be determined
Please join us for this special event in Simi Valley including continental breakfast, great speakers and a tour of the Ronald Reagan Library. We invite you to join us for a day of inspiration, training and fellowship. This will be a great event to introduce your friends to CWA, renew friendships, make some new ones and meet our CWA of California leaders in the area.
We will give an overview of CWA, the importance of the local Prayer/Action Chapters, update on California issues, how to use available Web services, new technology for our purposes and much more.
We have 28,000 members in California that’s good, but we want to see a huge increase. We need more leaders and new Prayer/Action Chapters to spring up all across California.
Now more than ever we must engage in current issues and learn how to let our voices be heard. Let us come together and turn our concern into action! We can do it!
The Bible on courage:
“The righteous are bold as a lion.” Proverbs 28:1
Ronald Reagan on Courage
“No weapon in the arsenals of the world is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.”
“There are no easy answers but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what is morally right.”
