S10E03 | On Capitol Hill: Advance USA’s Dr. Carl Herbster
Advancing as a manager with Martin Marietta Corporation after college, Dr. Carl Herbster became convicted of the need to invest his life in something of greater eternal merit. His mission became “to serve God and to help other people serve God.” Dr. Herbster and host Dr. Matt Davis review the varied ministries Dr. Herbster’s mission has included—from early days leading a fledgling Christian school, to the multi-faceted ministry of a pastor. Dr. Herbster explains the influential relationship he forged with former Attorney General John Ashcroft which ultimately led to establishment of his current ministry on Capitol Hill, AdvanceUSA. In conclusion, they examine present political developments related to Christian education and the need for a new generation to champion the cause, to say, as Dr. Davis quoted, “Here am I; send me”—a stance integral to Maranatha’s goals.
