The book is available at the church or by writing to the address below. Indicate the title along with your complete mailing address.

The ebb and flow of history is controlled

by Christ. The principle He uses to prosper or curse a Client Nation is the size of its Pivot. Thus, wherever the largest gathering of spiritually advancing believers exists in history is where the greatest degree of prosperity and divine blessing occurs. National prosperity first existed in the Jewish Client Nation of Israel under the reign of King David, followed later by Gentile Client Nations throughout Europe, and eventually in the United States of America.

This book honors the influence of spiritually mature believers by revealing the dedicated efforts and successes of dedicated Christian missionaries in the gospel’s journey from the Apostle Paul in the first century A.D. to present-day America.
