US Senator Lankford Visits GMC

April 19, 2022 James Cain

The General Superintendent’s Office recently welcomed US Senator James Lankford to the Global Ministry Center. The General Superintendent was eager to express the IPHC’s thanks for Senator Lankford’s help with a challenge the IPHC Ukraine faced in 2021.

“We are grateful for Senator Lankford’s help to IPHC Ukraine,” said General Superintendent Doug Beacham, before showing the senator drawings of the proposed Ukraine building project. Christian Hope Church in Kyiv hopes to develop the property as the Township of Mercy and Kindness, “a multifunctional spiritual and benevolent complex” that will offer space for over 50 rehabilitation, educational, and social programs. The invasion of Ukraine in March 2022 has put building plans on hold, but the church anticipates the ministry opportunities in the years to come.

Dr. Beacham and Senator Lankford review plans for the Ukraine site.

During his visit to the GMC, Senator Lankford toured the building, calling on the IPHC’s resident ministries and meeting on-site staff. He also shared some of his own ministry experience, as director of Falls Creek Youth Camp and in youth ministry for the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma.

Lankford, who was elected to the Senate in 2014 after four years in the US House of Representatives, also shared some of his experience as a Christian working in government. He emphasized the importance of Christians serving as light wherever they are, no matter how dark or difficult their situation.

In keeping with our historic stance, the IPHC does not endorse political candidates. The denomination encourages members to approach voting as they would any civic activity: as an arena for faithfulness to the gospel.
