For all of the friends of the Center for Christian Statesmanship (CCS) who desire to find out the status of the ministry, here is an update:

On April 26, Coral Ridge Ministries, the parent ministry for CCS, implemented its restructuring plan and closed the Center. By the grace of God, the Center has reopened under the authority of Evangelism Explosion International . Founded by Dr. D. James Kennedy in 1962, Evangelism Explosion (E.E.) is the world's most widely used evangelism equipping ministry. Dr. George Roller has been invited by the board of E.E. to continue serving as the Center's executive director. Thus, the work, the mission, and the momentum of this vital ministry to our nation's leaders shall continue.

"We are pleased and excited that the Center for Christian Statesmanship will once more bring its phenomenal ministry to Capitol Hill under E.E. International," said Brian Fisher, Executive Vice President of Coral Ridge Ministries, the broadcast outreach of Dr. Kennedy.

Coral Ridge Ministries and Evangelism Explosion were both founded by Dr. Kennedy, and the two organizations have been working together to promote the Christian message that Jesus is God and offers Heaven to those who
trust in Him.

Fisher said that the Board of Coral Ridge Ministries blesses and approves the new relationship between the Center and Evangelism Explosion. "The purpose and mission of CCS is a better organizational and mission fit with E.E.," added Fisher.

"The Center for Christian Statesmanship has a long-established reputation for excellence in its outreach activities and an extensive network of relationships on Capitol Hill," said Rev. John B. Sorensen, Executive Vice President of Evangelism Explosion International. "George adds a top-flight level of leadership to this organization. I'm glad to have him aboard."

Roller explained that the main focus of the Center under Evangelism Explosion will be to continue the long-established outreach to our nation's leaders. In addition, the Center will seek to encourage local churches by offering to train their members in evangelism and in discipleship and to help them see Capitol Hill as a mission field. The Center will seek volunteers from those congregations to assist in ministering to the Hill by leading Bible studies, by following up with
Hill staffers who attend CCS events, and disciple new believers. CCS expects to continue the monthly Politics and Principle luncheons, the quarterly retreats for training Hill staffers in evangelism, the weekly Bible studies, and the outreach to the thousands of interns that come to Washington, D.C. each summer.

All donations to the Center that were received during this transition period have been transferred to Evangelism Explosion International and thus continue to be used to reach Capitol Hill for Christ. From now on, donations should be made payable to EE/Center for Christian Statesmanship and mailed to E.E. International, P.O. Box 23820, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33307.

Keep checking back. The new website for the "new" Center for Christian Statesmanship will be unveiled soon!
