About Us
As a ministry of Mission to North America (MNA), Ministry to State ministers to those serving in
government at the state and national levels, as well as internationally. Ministry to State (MTS) seeks to

government who profess faith in Christ; 3) contributing to establish and maintain a Biblical conscience
throughout the government community; 4) providing a healthy means to connect the church in non-
partisan manner with those in government; and 5) promoting and facilitating specific and intelligent
prayer by the body of Christ for those serving in government. Currently, MTS operates out of nine state
capitals and Washington, D.C.
