Praying and Ministering

 Hollywood Singer Quietly Praying With and Ministering to Hundreds of Members of Congress Every Month

                              by Billy Hallowell

"...the [congress] member says, 'God put you here for me today.'" -Steve Amerson


Steve Amerson is known as the vocalist behind some of the most influential music in movies, like "Star Wars: Rogue One," "Beauty and the Beast," and "The Patriot," among many others. 


But he's also a voice of hope for Democrats and Republicans in Congress—a quiet source of peace and prayer and a minister to leaders on both sides of the aisle.


Amerson, author of the new book, "Tales Of A Troubadour," is a faithful Christian who runs an intriguing ministry to some of the most powerful men and women in America. And he does it subtly and humbly.


It's an effort that began in 2014 as a simple move to bring worship services back to the US Capitol.


"There used to be worship on Sunday mornings in the [US] Capitol from 1800 to 1869," Amerson told the "Edifi With Billy Hallowell" podcast. "Thomas Jefferson would ride his horse from the White House to the Capitol to participate in these services"
