Tom Chapman spoke about strides made with the tax credit for Catholic School Tuition Donations. It might be possible soon for corporations to get the tax credit as well. Tom encourages people to contact the governor about this possibility through the Iowa Catholic Conference's Action Center. You can also get involved in the marriage amendment, defining marriage as between a man and a woman through their action center as well.



Richard Lane, a Catholic Evangelist and co-founder of Qorban Ministries spoke with Bill and Rich on how he got started with his ministry. He was passing out Bibles on the street corner for his Church after Converting to Catholicism and encountered many of the poor in spirit. Soon enough he found himself preaching from the street, sometimes to many and sometimes to no one.

Soon after he began to be invited to Catholic Churches as well as churches of other denominations to speak. People began to call him a Catholic Evangelist, and so he spoke with Bishop Raymond Burke in St. Louis to get either his permission to proceed or caution to slow down. He spoke of how the Bishop put his hand on his head and blessed his ministry as a Catholic Evangelist.

Now based out of St. Louis with is wife, the DRE at their Church, he goes to Churches and conferences across the country. Last fall he was in Altoona, Iowa.
