Discussion is over the topic of Lobbying the Illinois State Government on behalf of the Christian Community. Reverend Robert D. Vanden Bosch is interviewed by Debra Peppers on the Christian Television network program "Outreach Connection". Since 1993 Vanden Bosch has served as a lobbyist on behalf of Illinois’ Christians, standing for traditional values in Springfield, Illinois. Because our culture puts tremendous pressure on the practice of Christianity, his ministry is more necessary than ever. Rev. Vanden Bosch ministers as a missionary sent out by his home church, working as an ambassador for Jesus Christ. His calling is to protect the right of Christians to practice their religious beliefs, churches, private education, marriage, traditional values, the rights of the unborn, and to share the redeeming love of Jesus Christ.
