"Washington for Jesus" founder John Gimenez recruits Pentecostal ministers at this private meeting from the basement of Prophet David Schoch's Bethany Chapel, a Latter Rain Pentecostal church in Long Beach, California. Strategist Ted Pantaleo outlines the "Washington for Jesus" gameplan and takes questions. Paul Crouch (PTL) & Pat Robertson's names are dropped.
