Dr. Robertson dedicated the Embassy of the Prince of Peace on September 7, 1995. He made this statement during the dedication: “The establishing of this Christian embassy in a former terrorist stronghold is a declaration of the spiritual transformation which is taking place, ‘From the Prince of Persia to the Prince of Peace.’

The purpose of my writing is to give my recommendation to the ministry of the Embassy for World Peace and Religious Freedom. Rev. Ruth Schofield has been connected with the Assemblies of God for many, many years and, we believe, has a real mandate to follow through with the establishment of the Embassy Memorial Project involving the Iranian government’s embassy property in Washington for the purpose of creating the Embassy for World Peace and Religious Freedom at that address. The reason I urge you to consider this very exciting development is within the purview of Scripture to overcome evil with good. I cannot think of a greater example of making something that has been a threat to our national wellbeing into a symbol of righteousness and peace than this. I can assure you the leadership of Ruth Schofield will bring strength and stability as well as being a catalyst for all we stand for as a Christian nation.

The Embassy of the Prince of Peace has had an impact on the nation and the world with its global prayer effort. It has served the worldwide Christian community for many years in the nation’s capital. Rev. Ruth Schofield has always opened the doors of the Embassy to hundreds of Christian leaders to help them unite the church for national prayer events, such the Jammin’ Against the Darkness Youth Crusades and now the DC Festival which we are bringing into Washington, D.C. We are asking President George W. Bush to grant the Embassy permission to return to the former Iranian embassy complex, so it can once again be that “shining city on the hill” and send the message of freedom around the globe.

For many years, Rev. Ruth Schofield has worked with the National Unity Coalition in its effort to expose Jihad-terrorism against Israel. She has joined with our coalition to support Israel’s people through the Embassy of the Prince of Peace. We join Ruth in asking President George W. Bush to grant her request that the U.S. Congress commission Iran’s former embassy buildings as a Center For World Peace where all victims/or families can visit.

Fulfilling God’s calling for her life is Rev. Ruth Schofield’s number one priority. I have personally known her for over seven years, having met her first at a meeting she hosted at the Embassy of the Prince of Peace for leaders involved in a region wide crusade that was held in Washington D.C.’s MCI arena.  Her gracious hospitality to a diverse group of ministry leaders from around the country helped focus the group to the importance of prayer in their undertaking and through it she gained the uttermost respect of everyone. I have become even more deeply acquainted with Ruth during these past two years in that she has become a regular attendee and participant in Christ Chapel ministry. She has proven herself to be a tremendous woman of faith, courage and commitment.... truly one of our region’s strongest prayer advocates and servant leaders. I strongly urge that she be given favorable Presidential consideration in her attempts to reoccupy the former Iranian Embassy facilities for the purposes God has called her to--- “The establishment of Washington D.C.’s Christian Embassy.
