Messages & Meetings

Articles

Nadim* sent his first message to the Maarifa site on 28 July 2009:   Good evening - may the peace of Christ be in your hearts. I’m so grateful for your kind feelings towards me and the great service you render to Christ. I was a Muslim, but I have become a Christian some time ago. But what grieves me is that people don’t believe a Muslim can become a Christian, so they look at me with suspicion. I don’t know why. I hope you will accept me - thank you. Read More

Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith

We believe... ...that the Holy Scriptures, consisting of Old and New Testaments, were originally given by God, divinely inspired, without error, infallible, and are entirely trustworthy and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and practice.   We believe... ...in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.   We believe... ...in our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, sinless life, divine miracles, vicarious and atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension and exultation, mediatorial work, and personal, imminent, and visible return in power and glory.   We believe... ...that Adam and Eve, created in the image of God, were tempted by Satan, the god of this world, and fell; that their sin has passed to all people, who as a result are lost, are unable to save themselves from the wrath of God, and need to be saved.   We believe... ...that salvation is a gift of God to those who repent and personally believe in Jesus Christ; that it is accomplished by God’s grace through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.   We believe... ...in God the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers, enabling them to live holy lives and to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ despite opposition from the world, the flesh, and Satan.   We believe... ...in the spiritual unity of all true believers, the universal Church, the Body of Christ.   We believe... ...in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life with God, they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal condemnation, separated from God.   We believe... ...that Christ commanded the Church to go into all the world and make disciples of all peoples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching those who believe to obey all that Christ commanded.

Pioneers

Pioneers

Pioneers mobilizes teams to glorify God among unreached peoples by initiating church-planting movements in partnership with local churches.   For many years, Pioneers has been one of the fastest growing mission organizations. We currently partner with more than 2,000 churches to send more than 1,900 missionaries to the neediest areas of the world.   Pioneers has a clear statement of faith, a focused mission, and a consistently applied set of core values. It is a leader in the application of a 'team' philosophy of ministry, and understands the current overseas missionary environment, maximizing the potential of indigenous national missionaries. Pioneers has a reputation for excellence, for the high quality of its missionaries, and for stewardship of resources.   Pioneers' role is to recruit, train, and support missionaries who serve in difficult environments around the world. Pioneers also provides an efficient way for many churches to partner by organizing resources for greater impact, and providing benefits and services at a lower cost for each individual missionary. Pioneers also assists its field missionaries in communicating with their prayer partners and financial supporters, and in turn provides accountability, enabling churches and donors to have confidence in the work they are supporting.   To find out more about Pioneers, watch the latest video...   {vimeo}12437260{/vimeo} Read More

Sunni & Shia: What's the Difference?

Islam

The separation of Muslims into Sunni and Shia dates back to the death of Muhammad in AD 632. Shias believe that Ali, who was Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law, should have been Muhammad’s successor. Instead, Abu Bakr, Muhammad’s faithful friend and father-in-law, was chosen and became the first of the ‘rightly guided caliphs’. Read More
