The Samaritan Strategy Right, recounted in The Samaritan Strategy: A New Agenda for Christian Activism. It is an excellent book and should be read by all Christians — young, old, and in between. Home schooling parents should make it required reading for their children. Briefly, Colonel concludes that the Christian Right failed because it lacked vision — a cohesive platform that tells the world what Christians can do and hope to do for our country. In Colonel’s words, “To many, it appeared that all the Christian Right had to offer was a negative/ reactionary collage of ‘don’ts’ rather than a comprehensive and constructive agenda of ‘dos.’ Worse yet, most Christians could not understand how all the issues connected to each other.” 8 Colonel further points out that without a vision, there is no agenda, no direction, and “no effective mobilization of forces.” 9 (Note: Colonel’s Chalcedon monograph, The Late Great GOP and the Coming Realignment, is also must reading for all Christians who take their roles as citizens seriously and who want to avoid our faux pas of the 80's.) With a Vision — WATCH OUT! Having come to the understanding that a vision is essential for success in Christian endeavors, having committed to practicing what he had preached in The Samaritan Strategy — earning the right to community leadership (a key to discipling any nation) by serving our fellow man — Colonel established the International Church Relief Fund, which is now known as Children’s Hunger Relief Fund. He developed criteria for discipling the nations. The criteria are as follows: 1. Spiritual Receptivity. Colonel was looking for countries that were desperately seeking Biblical answers for their day-to-day survival. This immediately bumped slick, self-centered, fat-filled America out of the running. Countries that had recently experienced national calamities — whether war, famine, drought, etc. — were the best candidates. 2. Friends in High Places. Here Colonel was looking for the acquiescence of the leaders of the country, if not their full support. The leaders in such countries as Zambia, Russia, Nicaragua, and others ravished by political, economic, or natural disaster are receptive to any and all help to meet the critical needs of a suffering populace. In Nicaragua, the Congress unanimously granted ICRF’s 19
A Festschrift for Colonel Doner affiliate FUNAD special tax-exempt status. Finally, leaders’ openness to the gospel has resulted in many of Colonel’s international board (Josue Lopez, Monte Wilson, Jay Dangers, Bill Mikler, and Mario Aviles) being able to spend time discipling them and teaching them specific Biblical answers to the problems they face as leaders. 3. Location, Location, Location. Following St. Paul’s example, Colonel wanted to find nations that were strategically situated to influence their neighbors. After assessing which nations fit the bill, Colonel and ICRF were able to begin implementing the Samaritan Strategy for discipling nations in the third millennium. Colonel soon saw that indeed the fields were white unto the harvest and, with Dr. Monte Wilson and Dr. Thomas Schirrmacher, formed the Samaritan Group — twelve international relief and ministry organizations that share ICRF’s view of the Kingdom. With ICRF as its flagship, the Samaritan Group organizations now pool their financial resources and ministry skills to achieve optimal effectiveness as they reconstruct nations receptive to the gospel message. There is no top-down, head-heavy bureaucracy here, no centralized mission compound from which the troops emerge. Rather, these organizations (spanning North and South America as well as Europe) coordinate their activities and funding to maximize each overseas opportunity. A chief goal of the Samaritan Group is to identify, train, and supply indigenous teams in each target country so that these teams can disciple their home nations. Strong Families, Strong Nations In each country that has faced political and economic collapse, or where natural disasters have occurred, the family — the essential unit of society — is the element that suffers most. To rebuild a healthy nation, healing and health must flow first to the families. Most often ministry begins with meeting the immediate health and nutrition needs by providing food, medical care, and community water systems to those suffering in a ravaged land; ICRF also provides vegetable seed so that families can grow their own food. In addition to this “critical care,” ICRF seeks to provide families with a steady source of food and income so they can become economically self-sufficient. This is accomplished through ICRF’s micro-enterprise loan program. Loans of between $500 to $1,000 20
