 Orphanage OutreachFounded 1995
Orphanage Outreach offers opportunites for short and long term missions to the Hope of a Child Orphanage in Monte Cristi, the Dominican Republic. There, we work with the children in the orphanage and the community, and partner with the local churches.
Mission/Vision Statement:
Release the Hero Within! Provide opportunities to orphaned, abandoned, and disadvantaged children.
Doctrinal Statement:
Christian BeliefsOrphanage Outreach is teaming up American and Canadian churches to partner with the local churches in the Dominican Republic. Of all places, there should not be denominational and doctrinal walls present between church teams volunteering with Orphanage Outreach. If there are, we are focusing on the wrong priorities. That said, it is understandable that churches are cautious about who they team up with. For that reason, we have posted the belief statement of Directors Tom and Paula Eklund's church, Christ's Chuch of the Valley, below. If you are uncomfortable with this Belief Statement, please contact Orphanage Outreach Executive Director Tom Eklund to discuss. Thank you! About God There is one God, eternally existing in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and each possesses all of the attributes of God. God is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and everything in it. About Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is one with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is our Savior, who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross for all sin, and was raised from the grave after three days to demonstrate His defeat of sin and death. He ascended into heaven and will return again to earth to reign as our powerful King. About The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is one with God the Father and Jesus Christ. Those who accept Christ as their Savior will receive the Holy Spirit to live inside them. The Holy Spirit serves as our comforter, guide and advocate. The Holy Spirit is given to Christians and provides guidance in living, an understanding of the Bible, and prayerfully intercedes for them. About The Bible Our foundation is based firmly upon the Bible as our final authority on Christian beliefs and as a guide to living. The Bible is divinely inspired by God, without error, given to man so that we may know and understand the truth of God and His love. About Humanity All people are made in the image of God and were created to live the adventure of following Jesus Christ. Although people have tremendous potential for good, we also have the freedom to do evil. Our disobedience toward God is called “sin” and that separates all humanity from God. About Salvation Salvation is not something that can be purchased or earned. It is a free gift from God provided by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and is received through faith. It is available to everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. That faith is expressed through repentance of sin and baptism by immersion. About Eternity People were created to exist forever. Every person will either exist eternally in union with God in heaven through following Jesus Christ, or eternally separated from God in hell due to our refusal to follow Him. |
