Capitol Ministries

46 CM 2017 | Ministry Objectives We've started a White House Cabinet Member Bible study with many of the leading Cabinet Members. As well, as I write this, we are completing the editing of the Oaks in Office manuscript which will be a 700-page tome published in four volumes to accommodate its size. It will be the train- ing curricula for our CivicReach® Ministry Leaders who will take the Gospel to local government leaders. We are also in the final editing stages of the CivicReach® Ministry Leader Training Video Series. As they are trans- lated into other languages, these training videos will help equip new Ministry Leaders to begin effective ministries to local government leaders nationwide and around the world. In addition, we have planted many new state capitol min- istries in America: Look for new ministries launching in ear- ly 2018 in Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Dover, Del- aware; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Hartford, Connecticut; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Trenton, New Jersey. God has given us great Ministry Leaders and partnering Legislators to birth these new ministries in state capitols. What has been perhaps most remarkable in my mind is the emergence of many new additional Capitol Ministries® Global Regional Directors around the world these past 12 months. As you can see by the preceding reports, God has raised up wonderful, well-networked in their area of the world, godly men to help CM plant many new ministries in foreign federal capitols! e fruit of these Global Regional Directors has been overwhelming! Combined, they are adding ministries around the world at a much fast- er clip than we have in the past 21 years in American state capitols. We thank God for this! e fields are white unto harvest overseas! ITH GOD'S BLESSINGS AND HIS GRACE in fulfilling most everything we set out to accomplish Capitol Ministries® experienced a remarkable year of growth in 2017! W After a remarkable 2017... "W ashington is very dysfunc onal and the poli cal noise in our na on's capital can o en distract us from what's really important. Studying the Bible with Capitol Ministries keeps me grounded in God's truth. Every week Ralph and Danielle lead an in-depth study of the Word that reminds us of God's priori es and how we should conduct ourselves within those priori es. Sharing this me with my colleagues builds trust and the fellowship we enjoy helps drama cally as we make decisions about the direc on of our country."
