Statehouse Bible Studies and Events
The heart of Indiana National Day of Prayer’s outreach is a series of Bible studies, conveniently held at the Statehouse, offering sound biblical teaching and encouragement. These studies are augmented by a series of special events like our Polity & Principle luncheons. These luncheons feature leading members of the State Congress and public figures who share how a statesman’s private faith impacts public service. Other smaller events offer candid discussions about personal faith in Christ and the spiritual struggles indigenous to our State Capitol.
Indiana National Day of Prayer’s Christian Statesman Award
Each year the Indiana National Day of Prayer hosts a reception to recognize one outstanding individual as a Distinguished Christian Statesman. With members of Congress and local media in attendance, the event elevates the ideals of Christian statesmanship.
Personal Ministry
The Indiana National Day of Prayer offers personal and confidential ministry to all seeking to know Christ or strengthen their faith. This vital outreach is supported by hundreds of praying Christians across the Indiana who receive our monthly Statehouse Prayer Bulletin and are committed to interceding for the needs on Indiana's Capitol Hill.
Statehouse Publications
Challenging today’s Indiana statesman to lead a life of faith, our publications redirect one’s focus to spiritual matters. Many in Indiana’s Congress are finding fresh inspiration for their service through publications like The 60 Second Focus, a weekly devotional. Other publications practically address the real-life issues that impact life at the Statehouse—even those sticky moral situations.
Evangelism Workshops
The Indiana National Day of Prayer offers Evangelism Explosion workshops to equip Christians in public service with the practical tools needed to share their faith. Based on an Evangelism Explosion program that has reached every nation of the world, the Indiana National Day of Prayer’s E.E. workshops help bring the Gospel to the Statehouse. We are here to serve.
Today's Statehouse
A new call is going forth. It is a call to serve that invites us to embrace God’s providential purpose for this nation, as well as His plan for each of our lives. At the Indiana National Day of Prayer we are helping fulfill this call through a ministry of service to our State’s leaders that is changing lives.

PLANNED GIVING
Planned Giving is one of the most important ways supporters of Indiana National Day of Prayer can help us accomplish our mission. Planned Giving is simply using estate planning methods to make a charitable gift that maximizes the tax and estate benefits to you and your family, and also greatly enhances the work of Indiana National Day of Prayer.
Our Staff can arrange administration of gift annuities, endowment funds and gifts of insurance policies and marketable securities.
The specific approach to a planned gift depends on your particular circumstances and goals. But the central theme is the same: making a deliberate and careful choice about the resources you have built up during a lifetime of work, careful management and good stewardship.
Options include...
Wills/Bequests
In its simplest form, estate planning enables you to look after the needs of your own family when you die. A Will is the most commonly used vehicle.
Gift Annuities
With an Annuity, you will receive a fixed income for as long as you live. You enjoy a great rate of return and financial stability during your lifetime, and when you pass on, the remaining principal of the gift annuity goes towards the ministries of the Indiana National Day of Prayer .
Gifts of Life Insurance
An insurance policy can be used to make a donation now instead of waiting to make a bequest in your Will. And the premiums are tax-deductible.
Investment Gifts
Whether you give property or securities, the donation of investments has a tremendous effect on our current ministry. And you can enjoy some substantial tax benefits.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A charitable remainder trust is an arrangement under which you deed property to the Indiana National Day of Prayer, but you retain the use of it for life, or a set number of years.
Endowment Funds
An endowment is a way for you to take an ongoing financial responsibility for some specific aspect of the work of National Day of Prayer. Your gift is invested and the income is used for the purposes spelled out in the endowment.
Living Trusts
The living trust ensures that you control your assets, while providing for your loved ones and those to whom you want to leave a bequest.
