Wait Until You See How Your Support for Capitol Ministries is Impacting Our World!
You wouldn’t think that placing a trained evangelist and Bible teacher inside the capitols of the world would be a novel idea—but it is. This insight is one of the most significant truths we’ve gleaned in our 28 years of ministry.
Even though Scriptures abundantly teach that public servants should be taught God’s Word first in importance, this concept is often missed—even by serious Bible students. But with your generous support, as we expand God’s ministry throughout the world, we are spreading the news about this often-missed biblical missions strategy.
As our remarkable year ends, I thought you would like to know how your support for Capitol Ministries is impacting our world.
INTERNATIONAL TRAINING
In 2024, we held five global conferences in Kathmandu, Nepal; Cape Town, South Africa; Bogota, Colombia; Brussels, Belgium; and Hebron, Kentucky.
At these trainings we teach new ministry leader recruits Capitol Ministries’ time-tested and proven methodology of how to build, lead, and sustain Bible-teaching ministries to public servants. After they complete training we pray for them and certify them, and these ministry leaders establish new ministries in their home nations.
We learned during the trainings that, as was true in past years, the vast majority of the new recruits had been unaware of the biblical priority to teach God’s Word to kings and all who are in authority (1 Timothy 2:1–4) until they learned about the scriptural directive in our training. After they caught the vision, these seasoned Bible teachers became passionate about leading discipleship Bible studies to public servants in their nations.
AFTER RIOTS, HIS MINISTRY WILL BEGIN
The new ministry leader from an Asian nation expressed the sentiment well. He said, “I am really excited to do this ministry in my country. Now there are riots and a revolution, so it is really difficult to approach people in the political arena. But when all these riots are gone and settled, we can do it.”
Another new ministry leader from a different Asian nation expressed what a lot of recruits told us about how our training helped them understand the significance of God’s mission for Paul to “bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel” (Acts 9:15).
He said, “The training was wonderful because I did not receive such training before to reach political leaders for the Lord. This training is an eye opener for me that someone needs to reach the political arena of our own country.”
NEW MINISTRIES IN 20 NATIONS
These conferences resulted in tremendous ministry expansion as the qualified Bible teachers who had been recruited all year by our global directors were trained and then certified to build new ministries to political leaders at all levels of government around the world.
Federal ministries will be added in 20 nations, 5 new ministries already have or will launch in U.S. state capitols, and more than 100 new Local Government Ministries (LGM) will be built in the U.S. and throughout the world.
CAPMIN RADIO PROGRAM
Another major objective was achieved this year when the Capitol Ministries Board of Directors and CapMin leadership committed to launch a nationwide radio program in partnership with Salem Media Group.
With a goal to raise awareness of the ministry across the United States, in April we launched a weekly half-hour radio program that airs on Salem’s large market radio stations. These Christian-format stations comprise about 50 percent of America’s media market. I host the program along with my guest Frank Sontag, who has built a career on Christian talk radio in Los Angeles, CA.
Frank and I talk about the Bible study I’m teaching to senators and representatives in Washington, D.C. that week, and we have lively and informative discussions about what the Bible says about contemporary issues. We consider the radio program to be a long-term ministry.
It will take about ten years for Americans to understand that Capitol Ministries is the primary ministry that reaches political leaders for Christ throughout the world. The program will aid in gaining ministry partners and will also help us recruit new ministry leaders.
The programs are archived and available for download at our website, CapMin.org. You may also request that a podcast be delivered every week to your email.
Salem has assured us that we will gain 50,000 qualified leads per year from this new ministry effort. This year’s achievements were, in great part, built upon foundations we established last year and so please click here to read about these blessings in our 2023 Annual Report.
