Capstone Ministries International
“The stone the builders rejected has become the Capstone.” — Matthew 21:42
A relationship-based ministry helping men and women rebuild their lives after incarceration — and equipping leaders around the world along the way.
A Ministry Built on Relationship, Not Religion
Capstone Ministries International (CMI) is a non-denominational ministry grounded in a personal relationship with God. We walk alongside men and women who are returning home after completing their sentences, helping them build the support system so many never had. CMI also serves as a resource for pastors and church leaders, hosting gatherings that strengthen leadership across the globe.
Most people released from prison return within their first year home — not because they can’t change, but because no one built them a bridge. Our mission is simple: “Help Stop the Revolving Door!”
Our Vision
We long to see leaders from every nation transformed and united by the unfiltered truth of Scripture — living out God’s purpose with clarity, courage, and conviction, and carrying spiritual renewal, justice, and love into every sphere of influence.
Our Mission
We bridge cultural and theological divides by delivering pure, unfiltered biblical teaching to leaders around the world — free of prejudice or human bias — cultivating spiritual maturity and servant-hearted leadership that transforms communities.
Meet Apostle Maria José Boyd
Apostle Maria José Boyd, along with her late husband Michael, founded Capstone Ministries in July 1993. After relocating to Las Vegas in 2000, the ministry was renamed Capstone Ministries International. She was ordained in 1994 by Bishop Roy Young of Faith Prayer Churches in Springfield, Ohio.
Following Michael’s passing in 2019, Apostle Maria found strength in her faith to continue their shared mission. Based in Las Vegas, she remains devoted to the calling God entrusted to them, honoring her husband’s legacy while forging her own path in ministry.
A dynamic teacher, sought-after speaker, and prolific author, Apostle Maria has spent decades mentoring and coaching others to grow spiritually, embrace their purpose, and walk boldly in their calling.
Meet Pastor Ibrahim Anyona Otieno
Pastor Ibrahim Anyona Otieno leads Capstone Ministries International’s work across East Africa, with a focus on Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Under his leadership, CMI oversees more than 30 churches and runs local pastoral training programs that equip church leaders to serve their communities with strength and integrity.
CMI’s East Africa ministry also operates an orphanage and academy that provides housing and education for vulnerable children, giving them a safe home and the chance to grow in faith and knowledge.
Serving alongside Apostle Maria José Boyd, Pastor Otieno carries CMI’s mission forward on the ground in East Africa, walking closely with pastors, families, and children to build lasting spiritual and community foundations.
M.A.D. — Making A Difference
We impact someone’s life every day — often without even realizing it. It’s rarely the big gestures that matter most, but the small, consistent ones. By supporting CMI, you can help a man or woman who has already paid for their mistakes avoid ever returning to prison.
This isn’t about career criminals who will always return. It’s about the men and women who made poor choices, have repented, and are ready for a real second chance.
How You Can Help
- Partner as a local business willing to hire former inmates
- Provide or connect us with transitional housing
- Donate food or clothing during the re-entry period
- Volunteer your skills to help fundraise for CMI’s programs
- Serve as a life coach or counselor for the newly released
- Teach workplace etiquette, interviewing, and professional skills
- Support leadership training through Toastmasters International
- Offer spiritual guidance, mentorship, and discipleship
This is only a partial list — CMI is also in need of finances and a building of our own. If you’re looking for a worthwhile cause to support, this can be it.
