Sonia Nelson just “got it.” She understood the missionary life, the need for a safe place to process trauma or marriage issues, and even the internet connectivity challenges of the woman on the other end of a video call.

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20) It’s such an encouragement to see Paraclete associates working together.

We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus 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, and His personal return in power and glory. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. 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 resurrection of damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. |
