Who we are and what we believe is the catalyst for our ministry. The way we operate is grounded completely in our love for Jesus Christ and serving His children in Zambia.<\/p>\n

God<\/h5>\n

We believe that the Godhead exists eternally in three persons -the Father, the Son, and the Holy\u00a0Spirit (I Thessalonians 1:3-6, I Peter 1:1-3, John 14:7-11, Col 1:13-20, Hebrews 1:1-3, Acts 13:2, Matt 28:19, John 1:1-5; 14-17, Phil 3:3)<\/i>\u2013\u00a0and that these three are one God, having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfections (Deuteronomy 6:4, Galatians 3:20)<\/i><\/p>\n

Jesus<\/h5>\n

We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (John 8:58, Colossians 1:15-19, 2:9)<\/i>, His virgin birth (Galatians 4:4, Luke 1:26-37)<\/i>, sinless life (2 Cor. 5:21, 1 Peter 1:19, 1 John 3:5, Heb. 7:26)<\/i>, miracles (John 5:19, 21:25)<\/i>, death on the cross to provide for our redemption and propitiation of sin (1 Peter 3:18, John 14:6, 2 Corinthians 5:18-21)<\/i>, bodily resurrection (John 20:27, 1 Cor. 15:20-21)<\/i> and ascension into heaven (Acts 1:9)<\/i>, present ministry of intercession for us (Romans 8:34)<\/i>, and His return to earth in power and glory (Zech. 12:1-9, 14:1-21, Rev. 19:11-21)<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Holy Spirit<\/h5>\n

We believe in the personality (John 15:26, 16:13-14)<\/i> and deity of the Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:26)<\/i>, that He performs the miracle of new birth in an unbeliever (Rom. 8:9-17, John 3:6)<\/i> and indwells Believers, enabling them to live Godly lives (John 14:16-17)<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Bible<\/h5>\n

We believe in the divine inspiration of the Scriptures (2 Tim. 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 2:6-13)<\/i>. The whole Bible, in the original manuscripts, is inerrant (2 Tim. 3:16, Titus 1:2, John 17:17)<\/i>.\u00a0 As the revelation of God (Matt. 5:18, 22:32)<\/i>, we believe the Bible to be the sole authority and sufficiency with regard to Christian faith and practice (2 Tim. 3:16-17).<\/i><\/p>\n

Man<\/h5>\n

We believe that man was\u00a0perfectly\u00a0and originally created in the image of God (Gen. 1:26)<\/i>.\u00a0 Adam and Eve fell\u00a0through\u00a0sin (Gen. 2:16-17, Gen. 3)<\/i> and as a consequence of his\u00a0sin,\u00a0lost his spiritual life and was separated from God (Gen. 5:5, Romans 5:12)<\/i>.\u00a0 This spiritual death has been transmitted to the entire human race of man since birth. Thus, every person is born into the world with a sinful nature apart from saving grace (Rom. 3:19-23, 5:12-21, 1 Cor. 15:22)<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Salvation<\/h5>\n

We believe that, due to universal death through sin, no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born again (John 3:3)<\/i>. Our redemption has been accomplished solely by the blood and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus (1 Pet. 3:18, John 14:6)<\/i>. We believe that the new birth of the Believer comes only through faith in Christ (Romans 10:9-10)<\/i>.\u00a0 No other acts, such as confession, baptism, prayer, faithful service, or manifestation of certain spiritual gifts, are to be added to believing as a condition of salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9)<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
