ABOUT THE MINISTRY

Picture
We are a salvation (eternal life), deliverance (from evil spirits) and healing (in body and soul) ministry. We teach the Word of God and minister in the name of Jesus Christ so that Christians may experience Jesus' promise to set the captives free (Luke 4:18) and be transformed by the renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2). We will go anywhere in the world the Lord leads us, utilizing His power and authority to trample on the Devil (Luke 10:19). In all that we do, God (Yahweh) gets all the glory (Galatians 1:4-5) for we know that without Jesus, we can do nothing (John 15:5).

LEADERSHIP

Robert (Bob) and Karen Hammond have been Christians for a combined 100 years. They have 4 children and 7 grandchildren and reside in Kentucky. 

​Bob has a B.A. in History from Michigan State University, a B.S. in Bible Theology and Christian Ministries from Great Lakes Christian College, and a Master of Arts in Religion: Biblical Studies from Liberty Theological Seminary and Graduate School. You could also say he has an advanced degree from the school of hard knocks as well as an advanced degree in continuing education from the Lord Jesus Christ.

In his 45 years of Christian service, Bob has pastored churches and has preached, ministered deliverance, and taught classes in spiritual authority in the U.S., Asia, South America, Mexico and Central America. He and Karen are not “denominational loyalists” but have been members of/or attended Presbyterian, United Methodist, In-Home, Congregational, Church of Christ, Assembly of God, Baptist, Southern Baptist, Church of God, Nazarene and Independent Churches. 

​Karen has a B.A. of Sociology from Mid-America Nazarene University, M.A. in Corporate Communication from Western Kentucky University, and a M.A. in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. She has served as a Bible Study teacher and in leadership with Christian organizations. She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor when not traveling and ministering with Bob.

Bob and Karen’s desire is to go wherever the Lord leads, preach Jesus Christ and minister healing to God’s people, especially in the realm of demonic deliverance.

TENETS OF FAITH

We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (I John 5:7, Matthew 28:19)

We believed the Bible is the inspired, infallible authoritative Word of God. (II Tim. 3:16)

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ: His virgin birth, (Luke 1:26-35, Isaiah 7:14) His sinless life (Heb. 4:15, I Peter 2:22, II Cor. 5:21), in His miracles (John 3:3, 11:45, 20:30), His vicarious atonement through His shed blood ( Romans 5:5-10, Isaiah 53:4-5, Col. 1:14), in His bodily resurrection (Galatians 1:1, Romans 1:4), His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Acts 1:9-11, Ephesians 1:20, Col. 3:1), and in His personal and visible return in power and glory.( Matthew 24:30, 25:31)

We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he was tempted by Satan and fell, and because of that and the sinfulness of human nature, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is necessary for salvation. (Romans 3:23, 5:12-21, I Cor. 15: 21-22 )

We believe in salvation which is available to all, only through the blood and name of Jesus Christ. (John 3:3,John 3:16, Col. 1:14)

We believe in water baptism, as an act of obedience following salvation (Matt. 28:16, Luke 3:17, Matt. 3:13, Mark 1:8, I Peter 3:12, Matt. 3:13)

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life, and by whom the church is empowered to carry out Christ’s great commission. (Mark 1:8-9, Acts 2:38, Acts 16:15)

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, and following is eternal judgment. (John 5:28 , I Thess. 4:16-18)

We believe in the reality of Satan and his present control over unregenerate man. (I Peter 5:8, Eph. 6:11-12)

We believe in the present supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit, who bestows the spiritual gifts of: the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, various kinds of tongues, in and among the believers on the Earth since the day of Pentecost and continuing until our Lord's return (I Cor. 12, John 16:7, 13:15, Eph. 4:8, John 14:12)

We believe any person Christian, or non-Christian can be demonized. (Romans 7:17, 20,21, I. Cor. 15:31, I Cor. 12:10, Gal. 4:3-12)

​We believe in the sacrament of communion.  (Luke 22:19, Mark 14:22, I. Cor.10:16)
