What they do

LIVING WORD MINISTRIES INTL is A NON-PARTISAN, NON-DENOMINATIONAL CHRISTIAN MINISTRY SERVING GOVERNMENTAL LEADERS and CITIZENS. THE MINISTRY CURRENTLY OPERATES UNDER THE NAME of CAPITOL STUDIES. CAPITOL STUDIES PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE is RELIGIOUS. IT EXISTS to SERVE ELECTED OFFICIALS and THEIR STAFF MEMBERS IN THE STATE of NEBRASKA BY PROVIDING PRAYER, BIBLE STUDIES, and SPIRITUAL SUPPORT for THEIR DAY-TO-DAY LIVES. PUT SIMPLY, ITS MISSION is to "SERVE CIVIL SERVANTS WITH SCRIPTURE." CAPITOL STUDIES ALSO EXISTS to PROVIDE SOUND, BIBLICAL TEACHING ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE GOSPEL and THE ROLE of GOVERNMENT to CITIZENS of THE STATE of NEBRASKA and BEYOND.
