E HAVE GREATLY BENEFITTED FROM THE NUMEROUS FRIENDSHIPS that Jon Cassel, our Affinity Sphere Director for French-speaking African nations, has made during the 18 years he has spent in francophone African ministry. Jon also serves as Regional Director for e Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) in French-speaking Africa, and he has spent years building relationships with people he's met in 22 African nations. ose friendships were helpful last year when Jon recruited many highly qualified, godly Ministry Leader candidates who attended a week-long training conference in Togo where Capitol Ministries offered classes on how to create effective and sustaining ministries to national leaders. Nine new ministries were launched because of that successful effort, and today, those Ministry Leaders are taking the Word of God to the national political leaders in their French-speaking African countries. Jon has recruited additional Ministry Leader candidates who are under consideration this year. Jon became involved with Capitol Ministries because he believes that Africa needs righteous rulers who follow, and then implement, biblical principles and who can elevate their nations to honor Jesus Christ. "e Bible tells us, when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn," Jon said. "My heart just explodes with pride that Ralph desires to take Capitol Ministries to these countries. ey are in desperate need of the Gospel and righteous governance." Jon has a long-time burden to see our Christian values represented at all levels of government and is pleased to play a role in accomplishing this vital mission in Africa.
