HAMLINKS CHRISTIAN RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (HCRDP) What We Do
HCRDP is a program handled by team of evangelists and associate members who are willing to cooperate with all Believers and Christian groups in seeking to evangelize the villages of Africa and other parts of the world. In our witness and work, we rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit. (John 16:13-14, Acts 1:8). We also work with God-guided policies of governments (I Peter 2:13-14). Our membership is drawn from experienced men and women of God who oversee the work of the team through the Director of Evangelism who in turn oversees the work of the various Committees in the group
Our Mission
To reach the villages and towns of the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8).
Our Vision
That all may be saved and come to the true knowledge of the Word of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Tim 2: 4).
Statement of Faith Statement of Faith
The following is our statement of faith:
- We believe in one God, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe He made all things by His will and power and desires all to be cherished.
- We believe the Bible is the true inspired Word of God infallible and authoritative.
- We believe that through Jesus Christ, God’s love for mankind is expressed. The knowledge that Christ stands by them will empower and motivate Christians in their personal, social and economic life struggles.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. We acknowledge the different emphasis within the various Christian denominations and also recognize that some denominations are more at ease than others in consenting to secular theories and practices.
- We believe all believers are commissioned to share their faith by word and deed wherever, through the direction of the Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. They that are saved to enjoy eternal life with Jesus in Heaven, and they that are lost unto suffering and damnation in Hell.
Our Finances:
HCRDP depends upon God for the supply of its needs. We generate our funds from our investments and contributions and the donations from Christians in Nigeria and around the world. These funds cover the upkeep of our equipment, printing, publicity, rent, rate, and the support for God’s work and charity in rural communities. Earmarked donations are used for the purposes requested by their donors. Support God’s work today for your covenant blessings! (Psalms 41:1-3, Daniel 12:1-3, Matt. 25:31-46).
