In Washington DC, September 5, 2014 at the United States Capitol Building, Dr. Paul Dhinakaran of India was presented with the prestigious Dr. Ruth Mizell Christian Statesmanship Award. Dr. Dhinakaran has a Global Television Ministry called Jesus Calls that produces at least 1,800 programs a month. He was appointed by the Education Department of the India National Monitoring Committee for Minority Education and is a member of the Governing Council of the “Education for All” Committee. He works with the Karunya University - India with over 5,400 students engaged from all parts of India. He rightly represents both God and the country of India.

The Dr. Ruth Mizell Global Award for Christian Statesmanship was created in Dr. Ruth Mizell’s name because of her stand for religious freedom on Capital Hill for over 30 years while helping mankind to love one another. Dr. Mizell was the former campaign manager for President George H. Bush.

Dr. Clyde Rivers, President and Founder of iChange Nations is instrumental in the creation and presentation of this award.  Dr. Rivers said, “It is a great honor to not only honor this great woman statesman through this award, but to have the privilege to bestow this award upon other great Christian statesmen and women around the world.” The mission of iChange Nations™ is to bring back the lost art of honor by building a culture that recognizes individuals throughout the world, those who have exemplified extraordinary humanitarian efforts to effectively change nations. iChange Nations, with its collaborative partners, have implemented an International Honorary Award infrastructure. This infrastructure empowers and equips citizens and alumni members with the tools needed to effectively pursue and transform the world.
