MISSION STATEMENT
House of Friends is an international nonprofit Christian mission organization releasing God’s heart of compassion through the discipleship of nations by caring for widows, orphans and the destitute around the world and equipping them physically and spiritually to reach their potential and destiny in God’s family to do the works of the Kingdom.
VISION STATEMENT
Our vision is to be a community of friends, knit together by love for Jesus and for one another, while allowing Him to live out His heart of compassion through us, both at home and abroad.
We desire to release God’s heart through the discipleship of nations, by caring for widows and orphans, and operating in a lifestyle of night and day prayer.
The vision is also for the friends of Jesus (John 15:15 “…but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”) to join in this journey in doing the works of the Kingdom with hands-on mission work, financial assistance, and prayer.
GOALS STATEMENT
In the journey of the mission abroad, our goal is to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ in three distinct paths back to Jerusalem-Silk Road from Asia, Nile River/Rift Valley from Africa, and Spanish/Columbus path from the Americas. Recognizing the Jewish ‘thread’ in what we are doing, having a heart for Israel and the Jewish people, we know that God is not finished with His covenant people.
Our goal is to also establish Abba House, a children’s home model, in villages along the routes of the journey abroad. Abba House will consist of homes in community, ideally with 1 widow and 12 orphans. At their locations, there will be a food COOP/food distribution, medical care, well projects, primary and secondary education, adoptions, trade school, Bible college, missions base, evangelistic outreaches, church planting, rural training and the printing of Gospel material.
In the United States, our goal is to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Indian Reservations, inner city peoples, and other areas as determined by the board, ministering through outreach projects.
The mission will be accomplished through the development and workings of a mission training school, administrative center, prayer center, mission store, food COOP, and the printing/distributing of Gospel material.
Through these means we will effect physical and spiritual change in the poor of the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom of God will then be expanded with new disciples, equipped to be productive citizens of society and the Kingdom. The new disciples will then duplicate the expansion of the Kingdom as they begin to do the works of the Kingdom.
