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.  

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.
