Capitol Ministries

32 CM 2018 | International L EGISLATORS AND POLICY MAKERS ARE TAUGHT BIBLI- CAL 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 Ministries® takes the Gos- pel to those in authority 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 more than 24 ministries in foreign countries on four continents. To achieve our international goals, we have divided the world into 10 global spheres. We have found seven qualified, godly men whom we have named as directors, and we are working to locate men with the unique qualifications neces- sary to fill the remaining three positions. 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® Training Con- ferences that are held in nations around the globe as needed. With our international ministries well established during our first 22 years, in the coming years ahead, it is our prayerful objective to plant and develop 200 ministries in 200 foreign federal capitols around the globe. We plant these international ministries 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. 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 "At a time when many are trying to minimize the influ- ence of the Judeo-Christian foundation of our nation, the work of Capitol Ministries ® in spreading the good news is more important than ever. Having enough perspective to realize that people who disagree with you are not automatically your enemies and learning how to treat each other and the constitu- ents of this nation with respect will go a long way toward healing our nation. The work of Capitol Ministries ® is interwoven into those goals." Dr. Benjamin S. Carson Sr. International Ministries
