Greetings in the name of the
risen Christ!
Lutheran Advocacy Ministry of
Pennsylvania (LAMPa) is excited to announce the new
Ambassador Ministry! As we
anticipate the challenges of an unusually difficult
economy, LAMPa would like to invite you to join in an
expanded, intentional ministry to reach out to every
member of the Pennsylvania General Assembly on a
quarterly basis. The goal of this new endeavor, which
we are calling the LAMPa Ambassadors Ministry, is to be
in personal contact with your state lawmakers a minimum
of four times a year – making them aware of the
commitment of Pennsylvanian Lutherans to their baptismal
call to justice through legislative action.
We hope you will prayerfully consider
this call to become a LAMPa Ambassador, one of our faith
community’s “go to” people on behalf of the
disenfranchised in Pennsylvania.
As a LAMPa ambassador, you would:
-
Be in regular, intentional contact with your
State Representative and Senator by taking one
concrete action every three months: either in a
face-to-face meeting, a phone call, a letter, a
postcard, or speaking out in a public forum where
your representative is present.
-
Review and respond to most ACTIONET alerts, engaging
LAMPa staff with any questions, comments, or
concerns.
Ambassadors will also have the option
of recruiting other ambassadors to join this ministry!
If you accept, the LAMPa staff will
be walking right beside you with basic training,
providing each of you with the resources you need to be
an effective Ambassador for justice in Pennsylvania.
To say “Yes,” simply hit
reply and let us know you're interested! If
you are not able to be an Ambassador at this time, but
know of someone who might be interested, let us know
that as well.
Remember, it’s “God’s work,
our hands” – and we need all hands involved!
May the Lord’s blessings be upon you
as you prayerfully consider this call to service.
Sincerely,
Marissa Harris
LAMPa
