PASTORS, OUR ELECTED LEADERS NEED OUR PRAYERS. AND OUR PRESENCE MATTERS.
I am inviting pastors from across Virginia to join me in Richmond during the General Assembly session for a mission that transcends politics, political parties, and personal agendas.
We are not going to Richmond as Republicans or Democrats. We are going as shepherds, ambassadors of Jesus Christ, and servants of the Most High God.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to meet with our elected leaders, share the truth and encouragement of God's Word, and pray with them and for them as they carry the tremendous responsibility of governing our Commonwealth.
Scripture commands us to pray for kings and all who are in authority (1 Timothy 2:1–2). This is not a political suggestion. It is a biblical responsibility.
I believe the Church must be willing to step beyond the walls of our buildings and carry the light of Christ into the places where decisions are made that affect our families, communities, and future generations.
We are not coming to argue politics, endorse candidates, or advance a party platform. We are coming to represent Jesus Christ with humility, courage, truth, and love.
Imagine the impact of pastors standing together, not divided by political affiliation, but united under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, encouraging and praying over those entrusted with public office.
Pastors, this is an opportunity to put our faith into action.
I am asking you to prayerfully consider joining me in Richmond. Our elected leaders need wisdom, our Commonwealth needs prayer, and the Church has a responsibility to be a faithful witness in every sphere of society.
Let us show up. Let us speak God's Word. Let us pray. And above all, let us honor Jesus Christ.
