STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe the Bible, consisting of all the Old and New Testaments' books, to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative Word of God. The Old and New Testaments' Scriptures are without error or misstatement in their moral and spiritual teaching and record of historical facts. They are without error or defect of any kind. 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 regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of the lost and sinful men. We believe in the Holy Spirit's present ministry 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 are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. Adopted on July 18, 2016 This statement borrows heavily from the National Association of Evangelicals.

LIVES IMPACTED
THE UNIQUENESS OF DJJ
The Great Commission, found in Matthew 28:18-20, is Jesus' parting instruction. It contains one direct imperative, to "make disciples." Discipleship Journeys with Jesus (DJJ) can help any believer fulfill Jesus' command! Today, many professed Christians have more access to Biblical information than ever. Still, their lives don't reflect Jesus and His teachings, and their lifestyles do not reveal lives of genuine discipleship. They may have information but have not experienced the transformation of discipleship. DJJ is a discipleship ministry that helps fulfill Jesus' Great Commission instruction to "make disciples" by providing free Bible studies/lessons that include videos recorded in the Holy Land and downloadable study guides (lessons).. Our Bible Studies guide people worldwide at all levels of spiritual growth by challenging believers to be obedient to Biblical instruction one lesson & application at a time, live a life for God, and move toward full maturity in Jesus. Since DJJ's start in 2016, over 100,000 people have enjoyed our FREE Discipleship Bible Studies/Lessons that guide readers to apply God's Word to their lives. As a result, there is documented evidence of changed behaviors such as salvations and baptisms, improved prayer life, fellowshipping with other believers, and many other actions that reflect maturity in Christ, including discipling others. Our vision is to take 100 million people on discipleship journeys with Jesus. To learn details of the creation of this vision and the rationale behind it, click the button below.
