STATEMENT OF FAITH
MWM Global Inc. is a Christian religious and charitable ministry. This Statement of Faith summarizes the core biblical beliefs that guide our mission, leadership, ministry partnerships, and service. It is intended to provide a clear basis for Christian ministry while allowing MWM to work cooperatively with Bible-believing churches and ministries in Guatemala and elsewhere.
1. The Bible
We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God and is the authoritative standard for Christian faith, belief, and conduct.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105
2. The One True God
We believe in one true and living God, the Creator of all things, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14
3. Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection, ascension, and His future return.
Scripture: John 1:1-14; Matthew 1:23; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Acts 1:9-11
4. Humanity and Sin
We believe every person is created in the image of God and therefore possesses inherent dignity and value. Humanity is separated from God by sin and is in need of reconciliation and salvation through Jesus Christ.
Scripture: Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23
5. Salvation
We believe salvation is God's gift of grace and is received through repentance and personal faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation is not earned by good works; rather, good works flow from a life transformed by God's grace.
Scripture: John 3:16; Romans 10:9-13; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:4-7
6. The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and is active in the life of the believer and the Church. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, guides, empowers, comforts, produces spiritual fruit, and equips believers with gifts for ministry and service.
Scripture: John 14:16-17, 26; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Galatians 5:22-25
7. The Church and Its Mission
We believe the Church is the body of Christ and is called to worship God, make disciples, proclaim the Gospel, strengthen believers, care for people in need, and demonstrate the love and compassion of Jesus in communities throughout the world.
Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Ephesians 4:11-16; James 1:27; Galatians 6:10
8. Prayer, Worship, and Christian Life
We believe followers of Jesus are called to lives of prayer, worship, holiness, compassion, generosity, integrity, service, and obedience to God's Word. We seek to depend on God in every aspect of ministry and to reflect Christ in the way we serve others.
Scripture: Romans 12:1-2; Colossians 3:12-17; 1 Peter 1:15-16; Philippians 4:6-7
9. Compassion and Service
We believe Christian faith is expressed through love of God and love of neighbor. We are called to care for the poor, vulnerable, sick, displaced, and those experiencing hardship, and to serve people with dignity, humility, and compassion.
Scripture: Matthew 22:37-39; Matthew 25:35-40; Micah 6:8; James 2:14-17
10. Christian Unity and Ministry Partnership
We believe followers of Jesus are called to unity around the Gospel. MWM may partner with churches, pastors, missionaries, and Christian organizations that share the essential beliefs and mission necessary for the particular ministry relationship, while recognizing that faithful Christians may differ on secondary doctrinal matters.
Scripture: John 17:20-23; Ephesians 4:1-6; Philippians 1:27
11. The Return of Christ and Eternal Hope
We believe Jesus Christ will return, that there will be resurrection and final judgment, and that God's redeemed people will enjoy eternal life in His presence. This hope motivates faithful Christian living, evangelism, and compassionate service.
Scripture: John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5
