~ We believe ministry should be all encompassing because we believe the redemption of God is all encompassing. Not only does God care about our souls but our bodies, lives and communities. The Church, being Christ’s expression on earth today, is able to affect a community and an individual in a way that it transforms it/them from top to bottom, not just spiritually. This ethos of holistic redemption calls for individuals to primarily be reconciled to God through the salvation Christ provides and then to reflect and live out the redemptive, restorative nature of God. When the gospel is portrayed as well as proclaimed the message of God’s love is authentic.

(Please see Biblical Mandate for scriptural support)

While we believe holistic ministry is important we do want to emphasize that we firmly believe a persons eternal relationship to God is of the utmost importance.

~ We believe God is calling His Church to respond to the immense suffering in the world! But we are convinced that this desperately needed help must come in the vessel of relationships. God does not just want money ministering to people; He wants people ministering to people. In this context it would require the Church in the West to be in deep relationship with the Church in Africa. The synergy created by relationship fuels us to care enough to do something and also helps us empathize and understand first hand the complex problems that plague the people. When we enter into relationship, suffering now owns a face and action soon follows. Images of poverty seldom carry a person beyond temporal sympathy but a relationship with poverty will demand that we act.

~ The Kingdom of God is mentioned over 100 times in the Gospels. The idea that Jesus is building His Kingdom that we are a part of is critical in our motivation and purpose....

~ The AR takes seriously its role in coming alongside the local church. Believing that the Church is the bride of Christ we seek to support her efforts. Working with solid local churches we seek to do what a local church cannot do on its own; providing infrastructure, networking and resources.

~ Indigenous literally means “generated from within”. Not only was AR founded and is directed by an African whom was born and raised in Zambia and South Africa, but the direction of Africa Revolution is subject to the wisdom and leadership of our indigenous partners in Africa. AR strives to have a marked spirit of humility and submission.

       1. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Reference: John 6:27; Heb.1:8; Acts 5:3,4; Deut. 6:4; 2 Cor. 13:14; Matt 28:19; Is. 48:16

2.     2. We believe that God has revealed Himself and His truth in the created order, in the Scriptures, and supremely in Jesus Christ; and that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God and inerrant in the original writing, so that they are fully trustworthy and of supreme and final authority in all they say. Reference: John 10:35; Matt. 5:18; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21; 1 Cor. 2:13; 1 Tim. 5:18; 1 Cor. 2:14-16; John 16:12-15

3.     3. We believe in the deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory.  Reference: John 1:14; Matt. 1:18-25; Matt. 26:38; John 11:33; John 8:40; Heb. 1:8; Heb. 2:14

4.     4. We believe God promises, to all who trust in the gospel, forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in that kingdom which has no end. Reference: 2 Cor. 5:14; Mark 10:45; Rom. 3:24-26; 1 Pet. 3:18; Rom. 5:8-9; Rom. 7:15-21; 6:1-11; 8:11-13; Eph. 2:10

5.     5. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the experience of judgment and then eternal suffering apart from God.

6.     6. We believe that the one, holy, universal Church is the body of Christ and is composed of the communities of Christ's people. The task of Christ's people in this world is to be God's redeemed community, embodying His love by worshipping God with confession, prayer, and praise; by proclaiming the gospel of God's redemptive love through our Lord Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth by word and deed; by caring for all of God's creation and actively seeking the good of everyone, especially the poor and needy. Reference 1: Col. 1:18; Eph. 4:4-6; Acts 1:5, 11:15,16; 1 Cor. 12:13, 11:24-26; 1 Thess. 4:13-17; Matt. 16:18, 28:19

7.     7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences. Reference: Rev 7:9-10; Rev 5:9-10; John 3:16; Gal 3:27-29; Col 3:11-12;

8.     8. We believe in the blessed hope that Jesus Christ will soon return to this earth, personally, visibly, and unexpectedly, in power and great glory, to gather His elect, to raise the dead, to judge the nations, and to bring His Kingdom to fulfillment. Reference: 1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 Cor. 15:51-53; Titus 2:13 Acts 1:11; Matt. 24:30; Rev. 20:4-6; Is. 9:6-7; Is. 11:2-5
