A Christian-right organizer drove 14,000 miles visiting 2,500 Ohio churches to mobilize voters

Evidence

Perhaps the most dynamic presenter at the Unionville event is a pastor and political activist named J. C. Church. Mr. Church, who now serves as the FRC’s national director of ministry engagement and who also happens to be a council member of POTUS Shield, is here to tell us about the time he turned Ohio red. In vivid terms he recounts how twelve years ago he packed his family into a motor home, drove 14,000 miles up and down Ohio, and visited 2,500 churches in eighty-six of the state’s eighty-eight counties. — Katherine Stewart, The Power Worshippers, 106
