Statement of Faith.

Maranatha Kids International Relief, Inc. is a Christian humanitarian organization committed to serving children, families, widows, and vulnerable communities in the love of Jesus Christ. Our faith and ministry are grounded in the Holy Scriptures and in the historic Protestant conviction of Sola Scriptura — Scripture Alone, recognizing the Bible as the supreme authority for Christian faith, doctrine, and life.

Our ministry is founded upon the following Statement of Faith, which guides our beliefs, mission, and service to others:

1. The Bible — Our Foundation

2 Timothy 3:16–17, Psalm 119:105, Isaiah 8:20, Acts 17:11

We believe that the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God and the supreme authority for faith and Christian living. We believe that Scripture contains God's revelation of His character, His plan of salvation, and His will for humanity.

We affirm the Protestant principle that Scripture must remain the final authority, above human traditions, institutions, or opinions.

2. Salvation by Grace Through Faith

Ephesians 2:8–9, Romans 3:28, Romans 5:1, Titus 3:5

We believe that salvation is a gift of God's grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ and not earned through human works.

We believe that no person can purchase, earn, or merit forgiveness or eternal life.

Salvation comes through the grace of God, made possible through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, our ministry exists not to earn God's favor, but to respond to His love by serving others.

3. Jesus Christ

John 1:1, 14, John 14:6, 1 Peter 2:22, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, Acts 1:11

We believe in Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God, fully divine and fully human, our Lord and Savior.

We believe that Christ lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, ministers on behalf of humanity, and will return personally and visibly to establish His eternal kingdom.

Jesus Christ is at the center of our faith, our hope, and our mission.

4. God

Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Deuteronomy 6:4

We believe in one eternal God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — united in love, character, purpose, and mission.

We believe that God is Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer, and Lord of all creation. We believe that God's character is revealed most completely through Jesus Christ.

5. Humanity and the Image of God

Genesis 1:27, Psalm 139:14, Matthew 25:40, Galatians 3:28

We believe that every human being has been created in the image of God and therefore possesses inherent dignity, value, and worth.

Every child, regardless of poverty, nationality, family circumstances, disability, gender, or social status, deserves to be treated with compassion, dignity, protection, and respect.

This conviction is at the heart of our humanitarian mission.

6. The Law of God

Exodus 20:1–17, John 14:15, 1 John 5:3, Romans 3:31,

We believe that God's law is an expression of His character of love and provides moral guidance for humanity.

We believe that obedience does not earn salvation. Rather, obedience is the loving response of a person who has experienced God's grace.

7. The Seventh-day Sabbath

Genesis 2:2–3, Exodus 20:8–11, Mark 2:27–28, Isaiah 58:13–14, Luke 4:16

We believe that the seventh day of the week, Saturday, is the biblical Sabbath established by God at Creation and affirmed throughout Scripture.

The Sabbath is a gift of God — a time for worship, rest, fellowship, service, and renewal.

We believe it points humanity back to God as Creator and Redeemer.

8. The Ministry of Jesus — Compassion and Service

Matthew 25:35–40, James 2:15–17, Isaiah 58:6–7, Galatians 6:10,

We believe that genuine Christian faith must be demonstrated through love and service.

Jesus ministered to the whole person — spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially.

Following His example, we seek to serve vulnerable children and communities with compassion, humility, integrity, and respect.

We believe that feeding the hungry, caring for children, protecting the vulnerable, supporting families, providing education, and responding to human suffering are expressions of Christian love.

9. The Church and Its Mission

Matthew 28:19–20, Matthew 28:20, Acts 1:8, Revelation 14:6

We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, called to proclaim the everlasting gospel and to demonstrate God's love throughout the world.

The mission of the Church is not simply to preach with words, but also to serve with compassion, defend human dignity, promote justice, and bring hope to those who suffer.

10. Christian Stewardship

Psalm 24:1, 1 Corinthians 4:2, 2 Corinthians 9:7, Luke 16:10

We believe that everything we possess ultimately belongs to God.

Therefore, financial resources, donations, talents, time, property, and opportunities entrusted to us must be managed faithfully, transparently, responsibly, and with integrity.

Every resource entrusted to our organization should be used to advance our humanitarian and Christian mission.

11. The Second Coming of Christ

John 14:1–3, Acts 1:11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, Revelation 1:7

We believe that Jesus Christ will return personally, visibly, and gloriously.

His return is the blessed hope of the Christian faith. We therefore seek to live faithfully, serve faithfully, and proclaim the Gospel while awaiting His coming.

12. The Resurrection and Eternal Life

John 11:25–26, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 1 Corinthians 15:51–52, John 3:16

We believe that death is not the end.

We believe in the resurrection of the dead and in God's promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. We look forward to the day when God will eliminate sin, suffering, death, and sorrow forever.

13. The New Earth

Isaiah 65:17, Revelation 21:1–4, 2 Peter 3:13

We believe that God will ultimately restore His creation and establish a new earth where righteousness, peace, love, and justice will reign.

There will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain. God's people will live eternally in His presence. God promises a restored creation where sin, death, suffering, and pain will ultimately be removed.

Our Faith in Action

We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ calls us not only to believe, but to love, serve, protect, and care for others.
