Share Your Faith with an Elected Official

Empowering Christians to Influence Culture

“Share Your Faith: How to Lead an Elected Official to Christ” is a practical guidebook created by the Family Policy Institute of Washington to equip believers for effective Gospel outreach among our nation’s leaders. This resource gives every Christian the confidence and tools needed to articulate the message of Jesus Christ—specifically tailored to the unique world of elected leaders who shape our laws and communities.

What Makes This Guide Unique?

• Audience-Specific Approach: Recognizes the busy, highly-educated, and policy-savvy nature of legislators. The content is crafted to be direct, clear, and focused on the essentials of faith—not politics or church jargon.
• Step-by-Step Method: Walks the reader through proven steps—pray, build relational bridges, share the problem of sin, explain God’s grace, outline the path of salvation, and offer an invitation to faith—using Scripture throughout.
• Focus on Relationship: Emphasizes respect, listening, humility, and compassion for the legislator’s person and role, not just their policy positions. This creates a safe, genuine environment for conversation and Gospel sharing.

Practical Features and Benefits

• Simple, Adaptable Structure: Uses adult learning methods to help users discover, discuss, and confidently teach the message.
• Biblical Clarity: Anchored in key verses from Romans, Ephesians, and John, presenting both the dilemma of sin and the unparalleled hope found in Christ.
• Actionable Evangelism: Equips users to actively pray for leaders, share their personal stories, and invite officials to consider Christ—planting seeds for spiritual transformation in influential hearts.
• Church and Civic Engagement Tools: Serves as both a discipleship manual and a catalyst for greater prayer, advocacy, and engagement with the public square. Churches can mobilize members, small groups, or outreach teams with this resource.

Why Every Church Should Use This Resource

• Fosters a Missional Mindset: Trains Christians to see legislators as people in need of Christ, not simply political actors.
• Builds Gospel Courage: Takes the fear out of faith-sharing with leaders by offering a stepwise, grace-filled approach.
• Strengthens Cultural Impact: Supports the broader mission to defend and advance biblical values in public policy by starting with the heart—one relationship at a time.
