Lloyd John Ogilvie (2 September 1930 – 5 June 2019)[1][2][3] was a Presbyterian minister who served as the 61st Chaplain of the United States Senate from the 104th through 108th Congresses (1995–2003).

His voluminous correspondence with people and a special yearly inventory of their deepest concerns provided the focus of this personal sharing of grace.

The central purpose was to help people turn life's struggles into stepping stones by linking their problems to the promises and power of God.

The media ministry was supported exclusively by viewer and listener contributions and all gifts were used only for costs of producing and airing the programs.

In Dr. Ogilvie's words, "I saw my role as Chaplain to be an intercessor for the members of the Senate family, a trusted prayer partner, and a faithful counselor to them as they sought to know and do God's will in the monumental responsibilities entrusted to them.

"[4] His death at the age of 88 was announced by Fuller Seminary with which he established the Lloyd John Ogilvie Institute of Preaching in 2006.
