About Us

OUR VISION

Our vision is to link Christians in many nations who feel called by God to open their hearts and homes in the spirit of Romans 12:13 "Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality" with God's weary workers who are in need of doing what Jesus commands in Mark 6:31 "Come away with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest". We call this the HospitalityHomes.org network.

OUR MISSION

HospitalityHomes.Org is a rest and renewal ministry serving Christians of every denomination and occupation. As Christians everywhere are faced with the mounting pressures of spiritual warfare, we need to rest from those pressures and to renew body, mind, and spirit. We also need to learn to live a lifestyle of resting in the Lord.

Our roots are in Hawaii, founded in 1982 by Christian lay workers. Our calling is to help renew full-time pastors, clergy, missionaries, chaplains, ministry directors, and other full-time Christian workers who are worn out from the stresses and demands that a hurting world places on them. Christians are not immune to the stressful wear and tear that commonly confronts those in the "helping" profession today. We are deeply committed to evangelism and discipleship by helping rejuvenate weary Christians so they can be more effective witnesses in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with a needy world. We are also deeply committed to helping restore the Ministry of Hospitality in the church since we believe hospitality is crucial to the health and unity of Christ's Body.

OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

We Believe

In one God, eternally existing in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

In God the Father, and His unmerited grace and unconditional love for all people through Jesus Christ, His Son.

That Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; eternal salvation comes only through Him

to those who make a personal, voluntary decision to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

In the guidance and gifts of the Holy Spirit as balanced and confirmed by Scripture.

In the Bible as God's inspired authoritative word, which He uses to reveal Himself to the world and to teach principles of Godly, righteous living:

the Bible offers the fundamental answers for successfully handling the stresses and problems of life.

In the power of prayer, praise and thanksgiving to God; and in the power of His promises in the Bible.

That we are living in the end times - times of increasing stresses and troubles as prophesied in the Bible and confirmed by current events;

and that these times mark the return of Jesus Christ.

That it is the responsibility and privilege of all Christians to share the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ and to disciple believers.

We hold to the Biblical view of marriage as being between a man and a woman.

That hospitality is crucial to the health of Christ's Body and that God desires His people to restore the Ministry of Hospitality in the church.
