2025 EUROPE EXPANSION SUMMARY
Capitol Ministries' work in Europe continues to grow and
expand through its top-down missional strateg y. roughout
2025, sustained engagement with senior government and
evangelical leaders across Europe strengthened existing Bible
studies and created new opportunities for future expansion.
Currently, there are 20 commissioned Ministry Leaders in 20
European nations. In addition, two active Bible studies are
taking place in the heart of Europe, led by my colleague, Valeriu
Ghiletchi.
roughout the year, Valeriu traveled from his home country
of Moldova to Brussels and Strasbourg, where he led regular
Bible studies with Members of the European Parliament as well
as lawmakers in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe.
During 2025, I met with ministry leaders and prospective
recruits through Zoom and traveled to Washington, D.C.,
to meet with leaders in person, strengthen relationships, and
further advance Capitol Ministries' work across Europe.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2025
Several new high-ranking lawmakers joined Bible
studies within key government institutions in
Brussels and Strasbourg, where Valeriu Ghiletchi
is teaching.
rough my personal relationship with Gaetano
Sottile the chairman of Italy for Christ and
meetings held in the United States, Capitol
Ministries successfully held an Italy Regional
Training Conference for 20 men from Italy's
provinces.
I continued to cultivated new contacts with
potential ministry leaders in Armenia, Germany,
Romania, Wales, and Australia.
I planned the Training Conference in Kyiv,
Ukraine, but it was cancelled due to the continued
war in Ukraine
