Dick Foth, minister-at-large in Washington, D.C., will speak in Chapel Wednesday and Thursday, September 18-19, during Spiritual Emphasis Week, September 17-20. His topic will be "Jesus of Nazareth, a study of simplicity and power... What happens when you focus on Jesus in the marketplace?" Foth is a spiritual adviser to a number of political figures in Washington, D.C. and is a popular speaker in the areas of leadership, relationships and communication.

An ordained minister with the Assemblies of God, Dick served as a church planter establishing Urbana Assembly of God, Urbana, Illinois, adjacent to the University of Illinois (1967-1978). Foth served as President of Bethany College in Scotts Valley, Calif. (1978-1992). He then moved to Virgina to focus on speaking and writing.

He and his wife, Ruth, co-authored a book entitled When the Giant Lies Down. They have been published in Virtue, The Evangel, Advance, Enrichment and Moody Monthly.

He sees his ministry calling as "focusing on the ideas of alienation and reconciliation through building relationships around Christ in the marketplace of politics and business."
