Statement of Faith
RMI
DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
1. We believe
in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as verbally inspired by God
and inerrant in the original writings. We believe that the Scriptures
(as supreme and final authority in faith and life) are indispensable in
nurturing believers in spiritual growth within the Family of God
and for effective service in the Kingdom of God.
2. We believe in one
God, holy and eternal, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, manifesting
Himself in Three Persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — one in nature,
attributes, power, and glory.
3. We believe that
the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin
Mary, and that He is true God and true man. He arose bodily from the
dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Majesty on High,
He now is our High Priest and Advocate.
4. We believe that
He died upon the cross a vicarious substitutionary death, thereby making atonement
for the sin of the world. We believe that He is the only Redeemer,
and that His atonement is sufficient for the sins of all the world,
and effective for all who believe.
5. We believe that
the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during
this age to convict men, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell,
guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.
We believe that the fruit and gifts of the Spirit are subservient to
the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit.
6. We believe that
the church is the body of Christ, a spiritual organism composed of all
born-again persons in this present age. We believe in the spiritual
unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. The primary
mission of the church is to witness concerning the Head, Jesus Christ, to live
in a manner consistent with the grace of God, to preach the gospel
among all nations, and to perform works of service.
7. We believe in the
personal, visible, bodily and imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and
that His second advent is essential to the fulfillment of God’s plan
for this age.
8. We believe in the
resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection
of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

Why Support
National Ministries?
Reach Ministries International
assists disciplemaking movements in the Third World that have national
leadership. In the ministries we support, we help train the leaders to
walk with God, study His Word, pray, memorize Scripture, share their faith,
and to train other nationals to do the same.
We believe it is a good use
of God's resources to support national ministries for the following reasons:
North Americans
cannot accomplish the Great Commission alone! Since 1900, practicing Christians
have dropped from 29% of the world's population to 23%. We are losing ground
to the enemy. There are only 85,000 Christian workers on the mission field,
most of them short-term missionaries. (That compares with I million In
the US, which has 6% of the world's population.) Supporting responsible
national ministries can change this Imbalance.
Financial
resources are unevenly distributed around the world . 96% of all Christian
finances are spent in the United States on 6% of the world's population.
National disciplemaking ministries accomplish miracles with their meager
finances and strategic financial support can make them more effective.
Several
nationals can be supported for the cost of one North American missionary
family. Third World nationals have a lower standard of living than the
average North American missionary does.
A. A low standard
of living can reduce the barriers to the gospel in the Third World. For
example, it is easier for a Filipino missionary to adapt to the Mexican
standard of living than for a North American missionary.
B. Support
for a North American missionary family is $30,000 to $60,000 a year. A
national worker can be supported for $3,000 to $6,000 a year.
When Christians
minister in their own country, no time is lost learning the language or
understanding the culture. National missionaries usually overcome cultural
barriers easier than North American missionaries do. For example, the common
Spanish heritage allows Filipino missionaries to adjust easily to Mexican
culture.
The Great Commission is
a monumental task it requires commitment, teamwork, and sacrificial investment
by Christians in all nations.
