Church Ambassador Network of Texas

What Church Ambassador Network of Texas does

Church Ambassador Network of Texas is a Texas-based nonprofit ministry that operates as an initiative of The Daniel Impact, a national organization that has implemented the Church Ambassador Network model across 18 states. Its core function is to connect pastors (framed as "shepherds of the Church") with Texas state legislators and governing officials (framed as "shepherds of government") through a program called Shepherd to Shepherd. During Texas legislative sessions, the organization coordinates regular Capitol visit days where pastors meet with senators, representatives, and other officials to offer prayer, present Bibles, and build ongoing relationships. The stated mission is to inspire the Church to engage government for the advancement of God's kingdom through good governance that honors Biblical principles, and it explicitly positions itself as ministry rather than political advocacy.

The organization delivers its programming through a lean operational structure led by Executive Director Bryan English, with regional directors covering South, Central, and East Texas, plus a coordinator for East Texas. Its public outputs include educational resources such as downloadable PDFs addressing Biblical perspectives on social issues (e.g., "Biblical Principles on Bondage and Addiction"), an annual Legislative Session Impact Report, and digital content distributed via Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, and email newsletter. There is no proprietary technology platform; the organization relies on a Wix-hosted website for content distribution and Charity Engine for donation processing.

The business model is donation-based, consistent with a 501(c)(3)-style nonprofit. Revenue is generated through charitable contributions from churches and individual supporters processed via the Charity Engine platform. The headquarters is located at 310 Morton Street, Suite 160, Richmond, TX 77469, and the organization employs approximately 7 people. Go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven, centered on legislative session engagement at the Texas Capitol in Austin, with no paid products, pricing tiers, or commercial revenue streams.
