Kentucky Governor Recognized as ‘Distinguished Christian Statesman’
The D. James Kennedy Center for Christian Statesmanship, a ministry of Evangelism Explosion International, will honor the Hon. Matt G. Bevin, Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky with its Distinguished Christian Statesman Award September 9 in Washington, D.C.
“Gov. Bevin is a diligent servant leader who takes the responsibilities of public office with the utmost seriousness and brings an unashamedly Christian worldview to the task,” said Hon. John Hostettler, Director of the Center for Christian Statesmanship, which serves legislators, staffers, and interns on Capitol Hill. “We’re thrilled to recognize him as a Christian statesman and leader.”
The award will be given at a banquet on Friday, Sept 9 from 5:30 – 7 pm at the Washington Omni Shoreham Hotel.
The Distinguished Christian Statesman Award, given annually since 1996, seeks to honor individuals who combine excellence in public service with character and faith in God.
“Our desire is to inspire more individuals to make Christians statesmanship the goal of their public service,” said John Hostettler.
Founded in 1995 by the late D. James Kennedy, a minister, author, and evangelical leader, the Center for Christian Statesmanship has impacted thousands of lives by bringing a gospel witness, Christian discipleship, and a vision for Christian statesmanship to leaders in Washington.
