Encourage-A-Legislator Program
“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” – 1 Timothy 2:1-2
The Call to Prayer
I Timothy 2:1-2 instructs us to pray for our leaders. Concerned Women for America’s (CWA) Encourage-A-Legislator (EAL) program offers our members and friends the vehicle to do this easily and meaningfully. It ensures consistent prayer for each state legislator and the governor. It encourages and builds bridges with those we typically agree with and those we do not typically agree with.
Whether an officeholder is a believer, non-believer, conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican, Independent, or other, they need our prayers. This next legislative session, CWA plans to deliver those prayers!
The Goal
The goal of the EAL program is to encourage each State House and Senate member by praying for them regularly and sending them a postcard throughout the legislative session. The EAL program is not used to lobby and is not confrontational. It is simply a great way to lift up those in authority and encourage them in their responsibilities.
The Commitment
We provide the name and address of the assigned legislator and the postcards. You commit to praying for your assigned legislator daily, if possible, while the legislature is in session, and then mail an EAL postcard every month to your assigned legislator until the session’s conclusion.
The Kansas Legislature
The Kansas legislature is in session from January 13 till approximately April 6, and consists of 125 House members and 40 Senate members.
