Message on the healing of a leper.

In a recent study, the Barna Research Group revealed a stunning statistic that continues to reverberate throughout the evangelical world. Only 9 percent of professing Christians have a biblical worldview.

Because of this, today’s believers live very similarly to non-believers. A personal sense of significance is rarely experienced, we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy and we begin to wonder what life’s ultimate purpose really is. We are, in short, losing our bearings as a people and a nation.

To counter this slide within the body of Christ, we are launching one of the most ambitious and powerful projects in the history of our ministry—Focus on the Family’s The Truth Project.

The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 13 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This home study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.

We believe this one project represents the possibility for exponential change within the body of Christ, as we expect that thousands will be transformed by this curriculum. As it has been throughout history, God continues to call ordinary people to make an eternal difference in our world.

Going Global:

Dominican Republic Missions Trip

June 1-10, 2012

Price: $1,500 + Airfare (includes food, lodging, transportation)

“…whatever you did for one of the least of these…you did for me.” Matt. 25:40

Come join us as we continue to invest in the young lives of the Haitian Dominican children imprisoned in poverty and ignorance who represent the poorest of the poor.  Our targeted area is in the coastal town of Barahona, where we serve in multiple, isolated villages made up of sugar cane workers.  Our purpose, in partnership with a Para church ministry called “Children of the Nations”, is to develop long term relationships with these Haitian Dominicans so that there will be a lasting Christ centered impact primarily with children, by equipping them to become tomorrow’s leaders by raising their standard of living through….Education, Clothing, Feeding programs, Medical Clinics, Leadership training, Group Weddings (including marriage seminars), Dental Clinics, Special seminars (hygiene, sex education, couples seminars), Youth camps (sponsoring 400+ kids to go to camp), Sports clinics, Construction projects, Vocational center (training on computers, learning English, cooking, etc.), Bible studies.

Part of the team will also travel into Haiti and spend two days there working on Construction projects, dental and medical work, hygiene and clothing needs for local orphanages, to provide local Pastor and church support in this devastated area.  Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere which shares the same land mass with the Dominican Republic.

Let us as God’s ambassadors continue to expand in our commitment in fulfilling God’s Great commission to deliver the eternal Hope of the Gospel to all nations baptizing them in the name of Jesus Christ.
