Associate Director
Rev. Thomas Eddy

My cancer doctor believes the lymphoma is in remission.  We will know better as the year(s) goes by.  Lorelei and I are hard at work visiting a number of presbyteries and interviewing ministers to add to our state capitols. We are also visiting and assisting those already on the team. Please be in prayer for the following states that we are currently in discussion with ministers who maybe interested in joining the team in them:  Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and the New England area. We continue to be blessed with "sovereign surprises' along the way as we hear from pastors and other elders being drawn to serve those called to the Civil Magistrate.

MTS - Montana

Rev. Steve Bostrom  

Montana’s legislature meets every other year – on odd years. As a board member of the Montana Pastors Network, during the previous session of our legislature, 1/17/17, I helped facilitate the first Legislators/Pastors lunch in Helena. We had about 40 come - 20 legislators and 20 pastors.

This year,1/15/19, I MC’d the luncheon in the ornate Old Supreme Court Chambers. About 100 legislators and pastors gathered. Here is MT Family Foundation's report (if you’d like to listen, this link is the 3-minute report was aired on the radio).

As we started, I reminded legislators and pastors that, as grateful as we are to be Montanans, our ultimate citizenship is in heaven.

The following story shows us what a difference such a focus makes. A wealthy man, proud of his gold, attempted to smuggle gold bars into heaven. St. Peter saw him approaching and asked: “What’s in your sack?” The man proudly opened his bag. St. Peter smiled and asked: “Did you think we needed more pavement in heaven?”

John tells us that the leaves of the tree in heaven are for the healing of the nations – not simply individuals or families or tribes – but, whole cultures. What an impact the Gospel will have on our world.

As legislators and pastors, our primary privilege is to be agents of God’s kingdom – to be his representatives. May God so empower us.

MTS - North Carolina
Rev. Darin Stone

God has richly blessed our work through Ministry to State - North Carolina thus far. I am currently at 39 percent of our total financial support needed. Over the past few months, I’ve been speaking to missions committees, congregations, pastors, and individuals about MTS, seeking to involve them in prayer, networking, and financial support of this ministry. I’ve also had the opportunity, through members of churches in North Carolina, to become connected with state legislators, lobbyists, and others closely involved in state politics. Please pray for God to continue to raise up a team of people who are willing to invest in this ministry to reach those in the North Carolina State Government with the gospel.

MTS - Pennsylvania
Rev. Ron Ziegler

Excitement and interest in the Mission of MTS continues as I tell others about this valuable work planned for Harrisburg. My home congregation has committed to support this work along with several individuals. 
Please join me in praying for my contacts with PCA congregations and pastors in Pennsylvania as God would direct me to those who would like to support this ministry. In February I started working part-time as a lunch time Host at a local Chick-fil-a restaurant in the Harrisburg area. I have met many followers of Christ there among the employees and guests. This work has allowed me the opportunity to meet many fellow Christians and tell them about the MTS work in Harrisburg (and) to make contact with many different congregations.. God has provided a few opportunities to pray for guests and fellow employees concerning their particular needs. I recently met with one of the State Senators from Pennsylvania for breakfast .He is very excited for this work and told me that I am needed in Harrisburg right now. He committed to help me find the needed support so I can get the ministry started in Harrisburg as soon as possible. May God in Jesus Christ be praised as His people show His love and speak His truth wherever we go. Thank you for your support through your prayers and financial giving. God's richest blessings to you in Christ Jesus. Because of Jesus.

MTS - Oklahoma
Rev. Wes Martin 

Wes was called to be an interim pastor for an Oklahoma church this past fall.  He just finished that duty but is helping another church until Easter.  He has not been able to do any MTS activity during this period.  The bible studies in the Oklahoma capital continue each week.  Local PCA ministers assist with this.  Wes is seeking the Lord's guidance to either stay with MTS or be called to another ministry.  Please pray for wisdom as they seek the Lord's guidance.
