Capitol Ministries

32 CM 2017 | International F LEGISLATORS AND POLICY MAKERS ARE TAUGHT BIBLICAL PRECEPTS and principles, and if their hearts are won for Christ, the Holy Spirit will lead them into Truth and they will think biblically as they chart the trajectory of their nations. It is for this reason that Capitol Min- istries® takes the Gospel to those in au- thority on foreign shores. Like many faith-based organizations, Capitol Ministries® seeks to fulfill the Great Commission, we just go about it differently. Rather than focus on a nation's general population, as important as that is, our methodology is to reach a country's most influential people for Christ, its Legislators and policy makers. is is not because their souls are more precious, but it is because their influence is great and can be felt throughout society. us far we have planted 24 ministries in foreign countries on four continents. To achieve our international goals, we have divided the world into 10 glob- al spheres. We have found seven quali- fied, godly men whom we have named as directors, and we are working to lo- cate men with the unique qualifications necessary to fill the remaining three po- sitions. Each Capitol Ministries® Global Director is tasked with expanding the ministry in his sphere of the world. One of his roles is to find qualified Ministry Leader candidates who will be trained during annual Capitol Ministries® Train- ing Conferences that are held in nations around the globe as needed. With our international ministries well established during our first 21years, in the coming years ahead, it is our prayerful objective to plant and devel- op 200 ministries in 200 foreign federal capitols around the globe. We plant these international minis- tries as if the future of the world depends upon them, because it does. Featured on the following pages are highlights of some of our international ministries. I Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor, But it is swept away by injustice. P r o v e r b s 1 3 : 2 3 "A t a me when many are trying to minimize the influence of the Judeo- Chris an founda on of our na on, the work of Capitol Ministries ® in spreading the good news is more important than ever. Having enough perspec ve to realize that people who disagree with you are not automa cally your enemies and learning how to treat each other and the cons tuents of this na on with respect will go a long way toward healing our na on. The work of Capitol Ministries ® is interwoven into those goals." Benjamin S. Carson Sr., M.D. International Ministries
