The Vision:
- Teaching, Training, and Equipping the Body of Christ
Andrew teaches the Word and does seminars in churches around the world. See separate web page titles SEMINARS. This is Andrew's passion and heartbeat.
- Raising up National Pastors in the AustralAsia-Pacific Region
National Pastors have NO:
- Language Barriers
- Cultural adjustments
- Food problems
- VISA requirements
They are much more COST-EFFECTIVE in reaching their own people. Only $29 a month will supplement one pastor's support! APT already supports dozens of pastors in developing countries!
We have been blessed to be able to begin providing motorcycles to some pastors in need of transportation. We have been able to donate 17 such motorcycles to date. - Constructing Church Buildings
$4900 upwards will help complete construction of a simple fully functional church building. Twenty five such churches have already been constructed. - Feeding and Educating Children
We also help to support many destitute children in India, widows, and sponsor many pastor's children! These in addition to DOOR of HOPE - see separate web link for DOH on Home page. They are given a good, basic education 5 days a week, as well as one good meal each day. Just $10 per month will help FEED and EDUCATE one child! - Establishing Bible Schools
We have established Bible Schools in India, Indonesia, and Fiji. $29 a month will sponsor one student!
We Believe...
- ...in One Eternal Triune God Almighty - Who has and continues
to reveal Himself to us as the only Holy Father Whose name is Reverend (Psalm 111:9), and
in His Son the Lord Jesus Christ, and in these last days by His precious Holy Spirit.
- ...that the Bible - all 66 books, and from cover-to-cover, is the inspired, inerrant
Word of God. Thus man was created by God and in
His image, to worship and serve Him!
- ...that the Genesis account of CREATION is accurate and there was a Literal Six-Day
Creation; that the theory of Evolution is false, is opposed to the Word of God, and
only serves to undermine the Word of God.
- ...in salvation from sin, eternal death, and hell, through
the acceptance of the propitiatory death and shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary.
There is no other way to be saved and have assurance of eternal life. Acts 4:12
- ...in the ordinance of Communion in remembrance of the death and resurrection of our
Lord Jesus Christ; as well as that of water baptism in obedience to the command of
the Lord Jesus as a mark of identification and separation from the life-style of
the world. Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 2:38. Thus by default, this would apply only to
persons who have attained to the age of understanding, and not to infants. Also that
healing is the children's bread since Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday, today and forever. (Heb. 13:8)
- ...in the even-keeled and balanced flight of the two-winged 'dove'. I.e., the importance
of the believer's life exhibiting the 9 fruit of the Spirit on the one hand (Galatians 5);
as also the vitality of the operation of the 9 gifts of the
Spirit on the other (1 Cor. 12).
- ...in the resurrection of the dead and the rapture
of the Bride when Christ returns with the sound of the trumpet to receive
His spotless Bride unto Himself. (1 Thess. 4; Eph. 5)
- ...that heaven and hell are real places
as clearly stated in the Word of God, the Bible. Heaven awaits the righteous, while hell is a
place of eternal torment for all unbelievers, the devil, and his fallen angels.
- ...that it is imperative that 'all who name the name of Christ depart from iniquity',
and so strive, by the enabling power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, to live holy,
pure, and overcoming Christian lives! The magnitude of ministry, or our differences in doctrine
- if any - matter little if we do not 'let our light so shine before men'!
- ...that the Body and Bride of Christ is 'Universal'
and not 'exclusive'. By this we mean that believers from different walks
and denominations who are truly born again (John 3:3) are all part of
the Body of Christ.
- ...that it is the responsibility of all believers
to share the Gospel unashamedly with every creature. That each of us
has a key role to play both locally at home, and abroad. We must be
both goers and senders… and thus fulfill the Great Commission as set
forth by the Lord Jesus in Acts 1:8 to be His witnesses in our Jerusalem,
Judea, Samaria, and even to the uttermost parts of the earth!
