36 CM 2017 | International NLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER BEING NAMED CAPITOL MINISTRIES® DIRECTOR Inoke Kubuabola has made mind-numbing progress in furthering the Gospel of Jesus Christ among political leaders in the South Pacific islands. Inoke, a proven leader who has held a number of high-ranking positions in the Fiji government, was named CM's Regional Director, a volunteer position, in July. He is tasked with planting disciple- ship Bible studies to the leaders of Fiji, to 16 surrounding independent island nations, as well as in the federal capitals of Australia and New Zealand. By autumn, he had established a weekly Bible study to Fiji Parliamen- tarians that was faithfully attended by seven Members, and is growing. e discipleship Bible studies are led by e Rev. Aporosa Rageci and e Rev. Isireli Kacimaiwai. So enthusiastic are the Parliamentari- ans that they requested the Bible studies never be canceled, even if they are over- burdened with business. A Facebook page has been created so more people will learn about the new ministry, and a group of passionate vol- unteers has been recruited to provide prayer and support. e message was spread further at a special luncheon where church leaders learned about the mission of Capitol Ministries® and were invited to become partners in taking the Gospel to political leaders. With Inoke's help and direction, the first Capitol Ministries® Training Conference in Fiji is planned for spring 2018. To ensure good attendance, Inoke personally invited leaders to the con- ference during his official trip to Perth and Samoa where he attend the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting. He also contacted fellow leaders from Vanuatu, Solomon, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Nauru, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Palau, Niue and other nations, and invited them to attend. Inoke is cur- rently working to establish contacts in Australia and New Zealand. "It has been very encouraging to see the positive response from our Pacific Islands' political leaders," Inoke said. "It has been overwhelming the way God is quickening the ministry. We see the fa- vor of God move amongst our Leaders and we believe this is the new season for our beloved nation of Fiji."
