STATEMENT OF FAITH
GMM holds to the following:
- The world and all in it belong to God. Created perfect, sin entered the world wreaking suffering and disease.
- Jesus Christ came into the world to die as a vicarious atonement for our sin, and to be resurrected to bring assurance of victory over death and eternal life with God.
- God uses us as His instruments of restoration and total healing: emotional, spiritual and physical. His Spirit and His Word empower us in this ministry.
- As we conduct a medical ministry, we seek to demonstrate God's love and compassion.
- We commit to tell others of Jesus Christ as the only answer to mankind's ruin in sin.
- We commit to accompany quality healthcare with the efforts of evangelism and discipleship.
- We recognize that all resulting benefit and productivity of our labors is a result of God's gracious working through our vessels of broken clay.
- We affirm: "He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us. To Him be the glory ..." (Ephesians 3:20-21, NIV)
