Our Beliefs at Heart for Africa Ministries
Heart for Africa Ministries is an organization of people seeking to fulfill God’s mission in the world. We’re committed to studying the Word of God and faithfully living it out. We’re committed to the mission that Jesus Christ gave every believer: to make disciples of all nations. (Matthew 28:18-20)
We Believe in His Salvation - We believe that every person who will accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior will enter into the kingdom of God. We enter into the life of the church, not by joining a denomination or a human organization, but by committing our lives to Jesus.
Christian are Call to Be One - We believe that God calls all followers of Christ to live in unity and peace, regardless of who they are or the church that they attend. (Galatians 3:28-29)
We Must Be Holy - We believe that followers of Christ Jesus have been called to live a life of love, purity, and godliness. We are called to live like Jesus Christ, taking on a new nature. (2 Corinthians 5:16 & 1 Peter 1:14-16)
We Embrace These Biblical Principles
The Lordship of Jesus - There is one Lord, who is God’s Son Jesus Christ, over the church. Christ is the church’s ultimate authority on all matters. (Acts 2:36)
Making Disciples - Each of us is called to fulfill Matthew 28:18-20, making fully devoted followers of Christ (disciples) who will then teach others to follow Christ.
Loving God and Neighbor - We are called to fulfill Matthew 22:37-29, not only loving God with our entire being but also loving all that He loves.
The Work of the Holy Spirit - God’s Spirit equips believers with unique gifts that enable us to carry out the mission of Christ in the world. At the same time, the Spirit products love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in every believer (Galatians 5:22-23) which demonstrates the Spirit’s presence within us.
Stewardship - Since God is the source of life, all of life is to be used for the honor, glory, and service of God. (Psalms 23:1)
