Page 6 of 8 The Business PlanProducts and ServicesBackgroundThird world countries such as Mexico and all of the countries south of the Rio Grand River are illustrative of the dynamic outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This outpouring is taking place mostly among the rural people. These represent no small number of new converts as they profess their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. Generally speaking these are people of meager means and often little more than primary education. However misfortunate they might be for lack of means or education they are people of a quiet dignity, hard working and interested in the future of their family. We in America must be reminded occasionally that our Lord said that: "not many mighty and not many strong" were among the elect. The most daunting problem, of all of these converts, is that those who have been faithful to minister the word of hope through the gospel to these individuals, are themselves very lacking in these same basic bible truths of God's Revealed Law-Word. By far the majority believe that their salvation is based on a mixed combination of "faith" plus a multitude of many other things-such as: works, certain doctrines, certain dress, certain days and so on. These are all false doctrines and many of course really do not believe through the gift of faith as our Lord said very clearly, "That unless one is drawn by my Father he cannot enter the Kingdom." And again as Paul states in Eph. 2:8-9: "You are saved by faith and that not of your selves it is a gift of God that none should boast." The difference in this situation as compared to earlier times is that the pastors involved and the local leadership in these communities is open to be taught more of God's Revealed Law-Word and to thus be motivated by the Holy Spirit to seek and follow God's prepared steps for them in this life. The one thing that has become very apparent, due to the general lack of cultural and personal vocational and professional development among these people, is that the spiritual doctrines of the gospel alone are not enough. The whole man must be impacted by the whole gospel so that not only is his heart and soul born anew but also his worldview of personal possibilities and extended responsibilities of family and community, i.e. family, business, and culture. Nothing less than taking the whole gospel, to the whole man, to the whole world will suffice. Service ProvidedOur greatest spiritual service and ministry goal is to bring basic bible truths of the gospel and salvation by faith and that not of themselves into this ever increasing number. We are committed to equipping them with personal and entrepreneurial skills and opportunities that will give them a new place and a new level of existence within their communities. This new level of local interaction with their community from their personal testimony of family to the market square of goods and services, will bring cultural changes honor and give glory to God and His Christ.
