about

Jesus was once asked what was the greatest commandment and He replied, “You should love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love others like you love yourself. This is the first and greatest commandment and all of the law and prophets hang on these two things”. In other words, out of the overflow of the love relationship you have with God, should come a love for others that causes you to think, live and move as God would. It is impossible to love God and not love others. When God sees a need, He does something about it; more times than not, He does it through the hands and feet of His people. And that is the core of i5 Worldwide.

to us success is:

  • To feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, and to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families.

  • Giving underprivileged students/persons the ability to obtain quality education.

    This is important for us because it is how we LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS!

what is a H.O.P.E Center?

The needs are enormous. Hungry people are everywhere. Naked people are all around. People are trapped in cycles of poverty from lack of education. Children are hungry. Families are homeless. Humans are being trafficked. And people don’t know King Jesus. We believe this is an invitation from God to do something about it. Can we help the entire planet? Probably not, but we will sure try. 

We at i5WW are convinced that God loves us because He has called us to establish our first H.O.P.E. Centers in Jamaica, Haiti, and Uganda. 

H.O.P.E. is an acronym for Helping Other People Evolve. H.O.P.E. Centers are evangelistic outreach centers ministering to the whole man; body, soul and spirit, through food distribution, education scholarships, mentor and discipling programs. In short, H.O.P.E. Centers are the place where real life and Jesus converge. 

What a privilege to serve these beautiful people and their countries. Lives are being impacted with the kindness, compassion, generosity, and love of Jesus Christ.

Our answer has always been Yes since God gave i5 the invitation back in 2019. With open ears, expectant hearts, and packed bags we stand ready for where God sends us next!

STATEMENT OF FAITH

The Statement of Faith reflects i5458 Ministries (i5 Worldwide) beliefs as it relates to faith, doctrine, practice, and policy. We have drafted and approved this statement in its entirety and have resolved that this is our firm position on how the Scripture is interpreted and applies.

The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind and as such is the sole and final source of all that we believe.

  • WE believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each Person is distinct in their role yet sharing the exact same divine nature. God is the Creator, Sustainer, and Ruler of all that exists. We believe God is personal and relational and has chosen to reveal Himself through His creation, the Bible, and most clearly in the person of Jesus Christ.

  • WE believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. His resurrection from the dead is the only hope for humanity’s reconciliation with God. He has ascended into heaven, is the King of Kings and our Intercessor, and we await His bodily return in power and glory.

  • WE believe that Holy Spirit eternally co-exists with Jesus and God, has the divine nature of God, and is the very Spirit of God. He pours out the love of God into our hearts and brings us into intimate relationship with God. Holy Spirit has been sent by the Father, through Jesus, to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. As the Spirit of Truth, He guides us into all truth. Through the Holy Spirit we receive the power to follow Christ, to desire to do His will, and to preach the gospel to the nations. The Holy Spirit produces in our lives evidence of new life and works through us to accomplish the work that Christ began during His ministry.

  • WE believe the Bible tells the story of God’s glory and His plan of salvation for humanity. As God’s revelation of Himself, we believe the Bible is inspired by God. The Holy Spirit worked through human authors to record God’s work of redemption. This record is found in the 66 books that comprise the Old and New Testaments. We believe the Bible is accurate, authoritative, true, and is sufficient to teach us how to live in relation to God.

  • WE believe that all people are created in God’s image, male and female, to have fellowship with God and with each other. Each person has inherent value and dignity from conception. Man was created good and upright, for God said, “Let us make man in Our image, after Our likeness.” But man, by voluntary sin, fell. Sin has corrupted human nature, resulting in a separation from God. Man’s only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God.

  • WE believe that sinful humanity is reconciled to God by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ. God, in His love and mercy, has provided the means of covering sin and renewing fellowship with Himself, by the blood of Jesus Christ and His death on the cross. There, Jesus took the place of sinners and provided the righteousness they needed to find acceptance with God through repentance. Repentance is a Godly sorrow for sin, with a rejection of and turning from sin. God has commanded repentance for everyone and is necessary for the forgiveness of sins.

  • WE believe all new believers should follow the instructions of the Lord Jesus Christ, who commanded us to be baptized because it is an act of righteousness. Baptism is water immersion, that is symbolizes our death and resurrection in Christ and it is a declaration of our allegiance to Christ.

  • WE believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the empowering of the believer to do the works of God.

  • WE believe in the office and the authority of the five-fold ministry as Jesus instituted. He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God.

  • WE believe and anticipate the physical return of our Lord Jesus Christ as King, to establish His eternal kingdom on the earth. He will reward His followers and judge the ones who reject Him.

  • WE believe marriage is only the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. It is God’s unique gift to reveal the union between Christ and His church, the framework for intimate companionship, the expression of sexuality according to biblical standards, and the means for procreation of the human race. All forms of sexual activity outside of biblical marriage is sin.

The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. For the purposes of i5458 Ministries faith, doctrine, practice and policy, our Founders provide the final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application for i5458 Ministries, Inc., 501c(3).
