Powerful
People on Earth
The Library will also provide an expansive collection of books and sermons that give evidence to Dr. Kennedys history including half a century of thorough, investigative study of the Bible. The Bible speaks clearly on the issues of our day, and the Library will contain volumes of information that provide biblical perspectives in matters on key cultural issues of the day. The Library will serve as a source of study and research for thousands of hill staffers who work with Members of Congress daily. It is these staff and legislative assistants, legislative counsels and chiefs-of-staffs who play key roles in work on Capitol Hill. These hill staffers may be behind the scenes, but they are the ones who write many of the bills that affect real-life citizens. Many of them will be our countrys leaders tomorrow. Through the D. James Kennedy Center for Christian Statesmanship, hill staffers are discipled and encouraged to share their faith as they serve their country and their Lord. The Library will serve as a voice for them to bring Christ to bear on the world, which was Dr. Kennedys passion. It will also touch the hearts of so many who loved and admired him. Your partnership in the new Center is of major significance. The Center brings prayer, fellowship and support to government servants everyday. Our ministry in Washington, D.C. is so vitally important as America stands at a crossroads, and Whom our leaders follow will define how they lead.

To build upon this foundation already laid, and with generous support from a friend of CCS, a building center was purchased to expand CCS influence and continue to impact our nations leaders with the Gospel. In a strategic location, only minutes from the Capitol building, the Center will host well-attended, important ministry events including: Politics and Principle Luncheons: Christian Members of Congress share testimonies with other Members, hill staffers and interns Bible Studies: Members of Congress, hill staffers and interns gather for study in the Bible Intern Events: Hundreds of interns gather to connect in a Christian environment Lecture Series: Key speakers share testimonies with the Capitol Hill community Outreach Events: Introduce unbelievers to the Christian faith Donor Events: Introduce friends of the ministry to Washington, D.C., CCS, and life in our nations capital

KENNEDY LIBRARY
On Capitol Hill
D. James Kennedy, Founder of Evangelism Explosion and the Center for Christian Statesmanship, had a profound love for America and its Christian heritage. His memory will be honored and preserved at the Center in a library dedicated in his name. Original furniture from Dr. Kennedys office will be displayed, including the ministerial robe that he wore while sharing Gods Word.

The Milestone Award recognizes faithful ministries that have impacted lives for five decades or more. In 1962, God inspired D. James Kennedy with a vision to change the world through EE and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Following our historic 50th Anniversary, we remain humble how God continues to work in and through EE to spread the Gospel around the world.
