This program is designed to bring individuals who are presently outside of the Church congregations into a Church family. However, we also provide this service to the common believers of village and other communities. This program provides audiotapes to the Pastors and church leaders so that their congregation can attend classes to listen to the tapes.
Faith is to hope for things which are not seen, but which are true Heb.11:1 and must be centered in Jesus Christ in order to produce salvation. To have faith is to have confidence in something or someone. The Lord has revealed himself and his perfect character, possessing in their fullness all the attributes of love, knowledge, justice, mercy, unchangeableness, power, and every other needful thing, so as to enable the mind of man to place confidence in him without reservation. Faith is kindled by hearing the testimony of those who have faith Rom. 10:14-17. Miracles do not produce faith but strong faith is developed by obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ; in other words, faith comes by righteousness, although miracles often confirm one’s faith.
Faith is a principle of action and of power, and by it one can command the elements and/or heal the sick, or influence any number of circumstances when occasion warrants Jacob 4:4-7. Even more important, by faith one obtains a remission of sins and eventually can stand in the presence of God.
All true faith must be based upon correct knowledge or it cannot produce the desired results. Faith in Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel and is more than belief, since true faith always moves its possessor to some kind of physical and mental action; it carries an assurance of the fulfillment of the things hoped for. A lack of faith leads one to despair, which comes because of iniquity.
Although faith is a gift, it must be cultured and sought after until it grows from a tiny seed to a great tree. The effects of true faith in Jesus Christ include1 an actual knowledge that the course of life one is pursuing is acceptable to the Lord See Heb 11.4. a reception of the blessings of the Lord that are available to man in this life; and3 an assurance of personal salvation in the world to come. These things involve individual and personal testimony, guidance, revelation, and spiritual knowledge. Where there is true faith there are miracles, visions, dreams, healings, and all the gifts of God that he gives to his saints. Jesus pointed out some obstacles to faith in John. 5: 44 and John 12:39-42.
This B M I has been reaching out to all communities. We have found that there are many families that are hungry for the Word, Christian love and fellowship. With the help of the local leaders, we have been working among these families who are hungry for the Word. By reaching out to them, we encourage the forming of the Home Church/Cell Groups (where small groups gather in a family and worship the Lord).
