Stories of Impact

Scott Plakon

“I first became familiar with Florida Family Policy Council back in 2007 when I began running for office. From the very beginning, I saw them as a trusted ally—an organization that truly shares and stands for the values we hold dear.

Over the years, I’ve worked closely with them on many important issues, and I’ve seen firsthand the impact they have. For like-minded legislators, especially those committed to faith, family, and principled leadership, they’ve consistently had our back. Whether it was showing up to committee meetings or standing firm in support of legislation when opposition was strong, they’ve been a tremendous force in helping move the ball
forward.

In many ways, I’ve often referred to them as the ‘tip of the spear’—leading the charge and making a real difference where it matters most.”

“We have been involved with Florida Family Voice for more than 15 years, and our journey began after attending one of their dinner galas. Seeing firsthand the important work they were doing across our state—to protect life and defend religious freedom—made a lasting impact on us. It wasn’t long before we chose to become a Faithful Friend, now known as a Watchman.

One of the things I especially appreciate is their commitment to educating voters through the production of clear, informative voter guides. These resources play a vital role in helping individuals understand where candidates stand on the issues that matter most.

Florida Family Voice consistently prioritizes the key issues facing our state, and their presence in Tallahassee—engaging with and influencing policymakers—makes a meaningful difference. I’m grateful to support an organization that is both principled and effective in its mission.”

FFV is doing much needed good work in times of fierce headwinds. Let’s keep moving forward for the cause of the Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, our beloved country, and the world. All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. Peace and prayers!

FFV is the number one Christian lobbying organization in the state of Florida. Erik is not only doing what he's doing – he's enthusiastic about it. I think that's the heart of God in him.

I've always known the Church could do a better job being a voice of truth in a culture drifting from God's will, but through the Church Ambassador Network I found I was not alone. The Church Ambassador Network filled a gap I didn't know how to fill on my own.

“There are so many organizations out there, but Florida Family Voice stands apart because they are focused right here in Florida—on the issues that matter most to me and my family. They truly do what they say they’re going to do. I especially appreciate the Church Ambassador Network and how it brings pastors together, equipping and encouraging them to take a stand for Godly principles at a time when those values are increasingly under attack. Keeping a Christian worldview at the center helps ensure the focus stays where it should be.

My wife and I are proud to support Florida Family Voice. We are committed to the principles it promotes— protecting and restoring life, marriage, family, and religious liberty. Thank you for all that you do.”

Rep. (Pastor) Doug Bankson

“The apostle Paul warns us that ‘in the last days perilous times will come…having a form of godliness but rejecting the power thereof’. Now more than ever before we need to come together as the body of Christ with one heart and one voice to stem the tide against moral decay in our nation. I’m so blessed to know the Church Ambassador Network has created a way for those of like precious faith to equip our congregations with the truth that makes us free and protects our ability to pass to our children the torch of liberty and true freedom that faith in God affords. I encourage every minister to join together to let our light shine by becoming a part of the Church Ambassador Network. We CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens us.”

I love how the Church Ambassador Network is such a strong, diverse group of church leaders from all across the state of Florida. Working together in unity, we have seen the Holy Spirit move mightily in our state capitol!

The Church Ambassador Network is providing a wonderful opportunity for me and the pastors of Volusia County to share our biblical views with our state legislators. It gives us a conduit to express the closely held values of the evangelical church in our county. I think we have only begun to see the game changing potential of The Church Ambassador Network.
