“They need the principles of the Word for their personal and family life, but also in their government work—their political and their leadership work,” he said. “That is why Capitol Ministries’ Bible studies are so important.” As our ministry leader to national leaders in Colombia, Pastor Villanueva is teaching a weekly Bible study to Parliamentarians as well as spearheading efforts to establish ministries in Colombia’s 32 state Capitols. He is in ministry with his teammate wife, Clara. A former parliamentarian, Pastor Villanueva is well respected, esteemed, and well known in Colombia’s faith and political communities. As a member of a Christian party, in 2002, he was elected to the Parliament as a senator. Among his legislative work, Pastor Villanueva is responsible for structuring a design for Colombia in keeping with God’s principles and His Word. In 2014, working with men and women with the same dream, a political movement began that was constituted in 2018. Through this movement, several legislators and city office holders were elected. He has also guided several public servants and discipled them in God’s Word. Those men continue to serve God and the nation. Pastor Villanueva has preached in Colombia and in many other nations. He has served as senior pastor of the Global Family Church based in Bogotá, since 2005 and concentrated on families, men, women, youth, teens, and children.

“Capitol Ministries has a very specific focus towards people who are in eminence and people in government—the focus of evangelizing and discipling them,” Pastor Villanueva said. “I see that this is a ministry that has testimony and excellence.”
