OUR MISSION

The mission of the Church Ambassador Network is to inspire the Church to engage the mission field of government for the advancement of God’s Kingdom. We accomplish this by connecting the shepherds of God’s Church (pastors) to the shepherds of government (elected officials), God’s “ministers for our good” (Rom. 13:4).

Government is an Institution of God.

Delaware Strong Families’ Church Ambassador Network holds to the teachings of Scripture that government is an institution of God, and that He created it with a purpose. Government’s purpose is justice, to punish evil and commend those who do good (Rom. 13:1-2).

Government is a gracious gift from God.

When sin entered this world, God could have left us to our own vices, but He didn’t. He created government to establish order in a broken world. Government, though not perfect, protects us from the effects of sin, and when it carries out its God-given responsibilities, it is a blessing.

Jesus is not only the head of the Church, He is the head of government.

The government rests on His shoulders (Isaiah 9:6). He is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords (1 Tim. 6:15 and Revelation 17:4). Our earthly kings must look to Him as the chief shepherd for their reward (1 Peter 5:4).

The “king” clearly matters in Scriptures, and he matters today.

Though few nations still have a king, every government has a leader, or in many cases, leaders. In the Church Ambassador Network, it is our passion that the “kings” of today see who they are in Christ, and that the Church sees the role of the “kings” in God’s plan. We are called to steward our government, praying earnestly for our leaders, so that we may live in peace (1 Tim. 2:1-2, Jer. 29:7). We believe when this happens, nations, cities, communities, and individuals are blessed (Prov. 29:2).

INSPIRATION

CAN is built on the example of men like Daniel and Paul (Dan. 1-6; Acts 9, 13-28), who:

Cultivated relationships with officials, even their captors (Dan. 1:8-10; Acts 16:25-34, Acts 27)
Pointed government officials to the one, true King as they provided them with wisdom (Dan. 1:20-21, 2:26-28; 5:13-29, 6:1-3; Acts 24:24-25, 26:1-32)
Modeled the spiritual disciplines of prayer (Dan. 2:17-18, Dan. 6, Eph. 6:19)
Courageously stood for Biblical principles (Dan. 1:8, 6; Acts 16)

We recognize the profound opportunity that you as Pastors have to lead people through this time of crisis. In light of this unique and unprecedented time for the church to reach and serve people with the resurrection power of the Gospel, we welcome you to the Church Ambassador Network. This network is a place for Pastors to find community, resources, and encouragement as they minister in the mission field of government.
