Showing the truth to all those willing!      
         

          

Welcome to our faith based ministry. 

We are an auxiliary ministry of the Vancouver Bible Institute out to show the truth of the gospel and show that there is nothing we can do to earn Gods grace. We find that the two largest church organizations that do not believe this are the Mormon church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and the Jehovah's Witnesses.

As most of you are aware of the transition out from the Influence of Mormonism and the Watchtower society can be quite difficult for some. We want someone seeking answers to know there is someone they can go to for answers, have lunch, coffee or just an ear to listen, or a shoulder to lean on.  For example we want to be there for the spouse that is leaving when their husband or wife has been told to divorce them for leaving.  To be there and let them know they have a friend, that they are not alone and that Jesus loves them. This can also help us point them to a local church.

We can always use more help if you are able, willing, and led to.


We are a 508 tax exempt ministry
Actual Definition of Unconditional love taken from the dictionary- affection with no limits or conditions; complete love

Bibles Definition of Grace- the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God

Do you as a parent expect your child to work for your love?

Do you as a child feel you should have to work for your parents love?


Please understand we are not "Anti-Mormon" or "Anti-Jehovah's witness". We are pro-gospel and if anyone has issues with statements made we encourage you to look the information up yourselves. We admire the faith that Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses have, we just don't admire what they have placed their faith in.

Again, we are always looking for volunteers to help show the truth to all those being deceived.


LAW vs. Grace

-The law demands, grace gives
-The law says do, grace says believe
-The law exacts, grace bestows
-The law says work, grace says rest
-The law threatens announcing a curse, grace entreats announcing a blessing
-The law condemns the best man,grace saves the worst
-The law says do and thou shalt live,grace says live in Christ and thou shalt do
-The law reveals the true character of God
-The law reveals the true weakness of Man
-The law was never meant to save you.  You haven't kept the law, you are guilty of breaking the law and despite all your goodness and good works you deserve HELL
-The law sets forth what man ought to be, but grace is there for you. Go to your father and ask him for it.

God's Riches AChrist Expense 



Our Faith Statement

We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God and that no church or organization has the authority to demand rules and regulations not required of us by Jesus in the New Testament.

We believe in Jesus Christ as the one and only Begotten Son of God and that his blood covers ALL SIN of the justified believer.

We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.

We believe worship of God should be intelligent. Therefore, worship services should be designed with great emphasis upon the teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be worshiped.

We believe worship of God should be fruitful. Therefore, we look for His love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that we have truly been worshiping Him.

We believe in all the orthodox doctrines confessed in the early church creeds and confessions.

We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture (in it's original language), that the Bible, Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible Word of God.

We believe that God is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that God is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator and sustainer of all things.

We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement of our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended back to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives to make intercession for us.

We believe in the personal, visible second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. He will return with His saints and set up a kingdom of which there will be no end.

After Jesus ascended to Heaven, He poured out His Holy Spirit on the believers in Jerusalem, enabling them to fulfill His command to preach the Gospel to the entire world, an obligation shared by all believers today.

We believe that all people are, by nature, separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.

We believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Christ might be edified. We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless.


Our mission 

Create an awareness of the truth about Mormonism and the Watchtower Society with the goal of helping those wanting to leave, as well as equipping those inside and outside of these groups to live courageously in that truth.



If you are a Mormon or a JW and have questions we can walk you through your church history and show you how your information changed based off of false prophecy, greed, or even pressure from the US Government. This can be done in person or through email. We will call if you wish to meet in person for it can be way to much information to go over on the phone. Our ministry started in the Portland, Vancouver area and have branched out into several areas. We are still glad to help and will do everything we can to get you the answers you need.



Should we dialog with those we disagree with?


If you are a fellow believer and Jesus Christ is your personal Lord and Savior than we could use you help spreading the truth.. We originally partnered with Apologia Christian Ministries based out of Chandler Arizona as well as Mormon Outreach in Vancouver, Washington.  We are now an auxiliary ministry of the Vancouver Bible Institute and work with several other ministries in an effort to give the potential face to face meeting if it is desired.

If you are willing to help take on the responsibility for your city please let us know.  If you have a friend or family member that is Mormon or JW and aren't quite sure how to talk to them then let us know and we can help.


This is who the REAL JESUS is

J.R. & Kassy.  
We have two beautiful daughters ages 9 and 2. Kassy was raised in the LDS church and has come to realize the MAJOR differences between what the LDS church teachings and what the Bible teaches. We openly admit that we are sinners and have done nothing to merit any favor from God.  He has bought us with his blood and it is by his grace and grace alone by which we are saved. We can not stand to see anyone deceived on a financial transaction, legal transaction, or the most important of all, your eternal salvation.

I am a 37-year-old Swede. I left mormonism January 2009 but realized it couldn´t be true 
almost a year before that. After that my investigation led to me becoming a born again
Christian. I love to spend time sharing the gospel to especially mormons but also JW. I am
married and have 4 kids and work as a teacher.


Jesper
I'm an 19 year old from Sweden. Four years ago (2007) I took notice of the sign "The Church of Jesus Christ of The Latter-day Saints" at a type of a churchhouse. I went it there and met two missionaries who explained everything they believed in and everything what the "church" standed for. Immediately, I realised that this wasn't true Christianity and from that day I started searching for information about the organisation and how it's not Christian.

I have a heart, and a passion for Mormons and JW's and I can't wait to see them get saved! I love these people and I believe that I have these people on my heart for a reason.  Today, I'm free from everything that is called school and have my hole life in front of me and have chose to let God guide me in my life!


Bobby G.
Hi there I am Bobby and live in Middlesbrough in the UK, within a year of becoming a Christian through a college assignment I became aware of the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. As a new Christian I was amazed that these groups claimed to have something of Christ I didn't have, I even wondered if they did.

Through studying the bible in depth for the first time I understood even more the simple message of Christs love for us, and how He alone is sufficient for our current and eternal life. From this I have a great love for anyone who claim to have so much yet through man made religion are left with nothing, and I now look forward to any opportunities to share Christ with these great people.

I was born in Salt Lake City Utah into a 5th generation LDS family (Father's side). My Mother was a convert to the Church as a teen. In the 40's My Grandparents moved to the LDS Church owned Cumorah Farm, near the Hill Cumorah in Palmyra New York, my Father in his teens along with his parents and siblings, lived on and helped work that farm for 5 yrs. Later in the 50's my Grandparents who were LDS missionaries, moved to and ran the Joseph Smith Farm, which is also located in Palymyra New York, my Father's two younger brothers help work that Farm. My Mother and Father moved us away from Utah when I was around 3 yrs old and they separated themselves completely from the LDS Church, they were what is known as "Jack Mormons" My siblings were somewhat active in the LDS church when we lived in Utah and continued to be active on and off after we moved. My brother was sealed in the SLC Temple to his 1st wife and their son and my sister taught Sunday school and had her children baptized in the church. I had been blessed in the church as a baby when we lived in Utah, but was actually raised mainly outside of the church. Yet my entire life, when it came to religion... I considered myself and referred to myself as a Mormon. Even being raised outside of the church, away from Utah, by Jack Mormon parents, I was still influenced somewhat by Mormon culture, doctrine and theology, because my entire life... that's mainly what everyone I lived with knew. When I was 38 yrs old I gave my life to Jesus Christ and He started to show me that the Mormon religion was not all that it claimed to be. It took me years to renew my thinking by the washing of God's Word (The Bible) I had been deceived by so many things and ignorant to even more. Thru deep study of the LDS religion, I've learned where much of my thinking was off, while also learning the truth about the religion it's self. As of 1993 I had stopped calling myself a Mormon, instead I began to refer to myself as a born again, bible believing Christian, a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. Most of my immediate family have since given their lives to the Lord, and like myself, no longer refer to themselves as Mormons, yet, I still have many relatives and friends who remain in the LDS religion.... I love them all so much! I just want them and everyone else to know the Joy, freedom and Truth found only through a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ! I pray that everyone would receive God's Free gift of Salvation (Eternal Life with God) that is offered to all by Grace through Faith on His Son!

I'm 18 and live in Columbia, SC.  I had some Jehovah Witness friends in high school and started working with them, which made me love working with Witnesses and Mormons.  I love watching the Holy Spirit work through them.
