allowing followers
of Jesus Christ to connect,
and encourage one another in the body of Christ. Through fellowship and outreach programs,
GoF Ministries aspires to not only nurture, but to equip and grow as well, the faith of believers
through sharing of christian testimonies.
GoF Ministries welcomes all believers. It is accommodative of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Pastor Faith will continue to devote her energy to make the central theme of Love to the fullness of God more
relevant in evangelism, to foster unity amongst children of God. Together with the GoF
Ministry Eagles, Pastor Faith
will not tire from preaching to lost souls, bringing them to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus came to save and seek the lost. Luke 19 v 10. Prison is often associated with condemnation. We all need second chances in life. Most prisoners end up going back to prison as repeat offenders because they lack love, from the very people who condemn them rather than accommodate, upon release from prison. Through the conviction of the Holy Spirit, God instructed Pastor Faith, to administer Holy Communion in prison to those who may be willing to partake. This is a spiritual solution for the weak and heavy laden to break bad covenants, resting behind reoffending. GoF Ministries uses call to the Altar of God , for the prisoners, to repent and renew their respective commitment with the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 3 v 2. Consequently, GoF Ministries conducts an all encompassing evangelism, preaching to every inmate, regardless of religious beliefs, or congregation. This confirms, that Love to fullness of God knows no boundaries. Ephesians 3 v 19. It must be remembered, that everyone was created in the likeness and image of God. There should be no separation between all children of God, on account of differences in denominations. Genesis 1 v 26
GoF Ministries employs personal and congregational evangelism during community outreach. Ephesians 4 v 11. Networking and collaborating with other Pastors, to steer the flock of God, to the Lord Jesus Christ, brainstorms how the Ministry can better bless the community. The pillar is responsible for organizing and conducting regular prayer meetings. It attends to special prayer requests from members and associates. Furthermore, it engages intercessors over special prayer petitions and requests. This act of sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ, is headed by Pastor Faith. This, is the central pillar of GoF Ministries. It is the great command of Jesus Christ He made upon his ascent into heaven, to bring souls to salvation. Matthew 11 v 28-30 . Evangelism is made richer by testimonies and experience about grace, peace and love of God, from one believer to another. Indeed, the one who waters others, shall be watered, according to Proverbs 11 v 25 .
A psychologically and physically healthy individual, builds a sound human being. When fortunes change, most people experience depression. The spiritual malaise attacks the mental component of a once confident person to become withdrawn. This plummeting from being a firm believer, to a mild one, becomes commonplace. Questioning the very essence of God, is a taboo, and sinful. GoF Ministries champions closeness to God. He rescues anyone who calls upon Him from vices to life. Psalm 50 v 15 This pillar of GoF Ministries blends evangelical and medical based therapy, ending strife between the physical and the spiritual person. It addresses spiritual struggles which escape to the physical space. 2 Chronicles 7 v 14. GoF Ministries offers professionally tailored psycho-social support, based on Biblical principles.
Health care looks more to the welfare of
the physical being. GoF Ministries aspires the followers of Jesus Christ to be well fed with both physical
and spiritual food. Physical food is a relief and developmental item to the person.
Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Matthew 4 v 4.
Daily bread and the word of God are complementary. Mark 6 v 30 - 44.
GoF Ministries aspires to bless man both physically and spiritually. Acts 20 v 35.
It needs support from individuals and corporations alike, to achieve this pillar.
For every outing to a holding facility, GoF Ministries donates relief items to each and every inmate, regardless of their religion.
Love to the fullness of God in Ephesians 3 v 19 is interpreted here.
Adequate nutrition, agriculture, socio-economic, and more broadly, activities which enhance
income generating ventures of the Children of God, come to roost.
Mitigation of HIV/AIDS, and improvement of the health status of the community, equally fall here.
The Ministry champions sound delivery of health services, nutrition, education, safe water,
and sanitation of everyone created in the likeness of God. Genesis 1 v 26 .
Ultimately GoF Ministries, takes an active role under this theme, in the sensitization of rural communities over vices such as environmental
degradation. Programs that solve challenges, such as afforestation are practiced.
Job 14 v 7 .
By observing Laws of God, man is automatically predisposed to observe the socially ascribed Laws of the land.
Romans 13 v 1-2. GoF Ministries stands on this pillar to make those in conflict
with the law of God, understand that they simultaneously are in direct conflict with the laws of the land.
Sin before God in the spiritual realm, is synonymous with crime committed to the laws of society.
Crime is sin, and sin is crime. Before repentance of this dichotomy,
it is important to understand that which often draws one to criminal
activity. Pastor Faith preaches coming closer to God, as the only way to
avoid breaking laws of the land, to avoid sin before God.
This is how souls will be be truly saved because they are living crime free lives.
This pillar sensitizes inmates, most of whom fail to access services of a
legal counsel, to basic human rights rights. The Question and Answer
open session, enlightens inmates on basic steps of processing their cases in court.
Pleas, bail applications, review and confirmations, and intricacies of the appeals
process, often dominate discourse. Added to that, GoF Ministries provides support to
those unable to meet bail bonds, as well as, offer reconnection with family and friends,
for those who lost contact because of their incarceration.
Reoffending is a huge problem in Malawi Prisons, which breeds overcrowding.
The revelation to Pastor Faith was to enlighten inmates on the power of the blood of Jesus to avoid reoffending.
Evangelism and psycho-social counselling and human rights awareness, amalgamate tthrough partaking of Holy
Communion to deter the offenders from further crimes, once released from prison.
John 4 v 13 to 14 There is power in the blood of Jesus Christ.
John 6 v 53 to 58. Jesus saves. Those who seek Him in truth do not
return to prison through reoffending. Matthew 11 v 28.
The Ministry advocates a spiritual and counselling based approach to solve the problem of
overcrowding by cleansing inmates from curses,
covenants, wounds, and the enemies of grace they laboured under which drew them to criminal activity.
With a Human Rights based approach blended with the word of God, inmates are well grounded in
both the Laws of God, and law of the land. They come to understand all they laboured before
committing their lives to Jesus Christ. By partaking of the Holy Communion, they are cleansed of
their sin which cascades to keeping the laws of the land. This dispenses with reoffending and
eventually reduces the number of children of God in conflict with the law. Apart from the Question
and Answer Session on topical issues in the justice system, candid discussion of the general
laws of Malawi under this pillar, is beneficial to every inmate who turns their soul to Jesus Christ
as their Lord and Saviour
An educated mind is an enlightened mind. The word of God, opens up the reader and indeed the learner to the truth.
John 8 v 32.
Life changing sermons by Pastor Faith fall on good soil when one is learned in it. Mark 4 v 2-9.
Understanding sin perpetuating foundational vices, becomes enhanced. Learners grow spiritually becoming doers of
the word. James 1 v 22 - 25. Covenants, curses, wounds,
leprosy, enemies of grace and
unforgiveness, send the modern christian away from the love of God. Isaiah 59 v 2.
For strong christian foundations, Pastor Faith advocates that the Good News has to be spread to every child of God
from an early stage through Sunday school, to constitute the great service of God.
Matthew 19 v 14
Biblical principles cemented from childhood learning, culminate into spiritual growth.
For the foregoing,
GoF Ministries will establish
a Christian primary school. The philosophy behind it, is to nurture children and train them in a way they should go,
from nascent stages of their community lives so that when they are mature, they will not depart from
the word of God and His ways. This pillar advocates spiritually grooming a class
of Christian Eagles, well armoured to withstand against the wiles of
the devil no matter the temptation. Ephesians 6 v 10 - 17.
1 Corinthians 3 v 1-3. Establishment of a Christian school, where children
learn the Good News from sunday school through formal education, with a deep sense of understanding over how
sin entered the world, and how it spreads from generation to generation through curses, covenants, wounds, and
enemies of grace, and how sin can be resisted to avoid crime which leads one to end up in prison, underpins
the category of Love, GoF Ministries stands for.
