Activated Ministries -- Who We Are

December 9, 2004

Activated Ministries is a Christian charity dedicated to helping those in need, sharing God's Word with others through the distribution of Christian outreach materials and providing support to missionaries of the gospel, especially those of The Family International fellowship. Our mission is to strengthen families and children by promoting and teaching the moral values and character-building principles of the Bible.

Meeting the needs of the whole man - body and spirit

Our society daily faces growing troubles, crucial moral issues, the weakening of family values and the family unit. We struggle with increased economic uncertainty, poverty, crime, social pressures, anxiety and deepening sadness.

At Activated Ministries we are responding to today's needs with true relief and hope for the future. While we minister to people's physical needs on a material level, our primary purpose is to help others spiritually; meeting needs for love and hope, faith, friendship and family.

Human beings are both spiritual and physical creations, having both needs of the body and of the heart and spirit. Our ministry seeks to meet the needs of the entire person, not merely just the body and it's environment. We support and provide the means to meet the physical needs of many who are suffering from hunger, malnutrition, extreme poverty, disease and ill health, from broken homes and families, from nations in war and conflict. These ministries often help to heal their bodies and bring relief to immediately distressful physical conditions. But none can be completely happy with a heavy heart, a troubled mind, a discouraged spirit and an unsaved soul. The needs of a broken spirit are often overlooked when meeting the needs of the flesh.

We have found that the effects of the faith and love we impart to those we reach out to far surpasses the aid to their physical needs only; it heals their hearts, their memories, their souls, their past and their future. Like the truth of the old saying: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". Meeting the deeper needs of the heart can brighten spirits, change outlooks, bring opportunity and in turn improve the quality of ones' life for eternity.

Many of the problems and much of the suffering found in our world today exist because of mans inhumanity to man and are caused by a lack of understanding of how to be happy and little knowledge of the love, faith and power of God and the loving laws that God designed for us to live by.

We make a difference in the lives of those we minister to through our programs that implement deeds of love, acts of kindness and help others obtain their physical needs, provide educational and inspirational materials sharing God's love and answers and bring peace and joy to weary hearts and souls -- inspiring people to believe in God and His love and His plan for a better future for mankind.

To truly change the world we must change hearts. And to change a heart requires the miracle working power of God's love, which knows no boundaries, no nation, no race, no culture, nor political view, nor economic system. It is not bound by time or space, nor limited by people or war or force of arms. It embraces all mankind and unites their minds, hearts and spirits in faith and love of God and each other. Come and join us as we change the world...one heart at a time
