Jesus is the head of this Ministry.
We are a small group volunteers longing to see people in a relationship with Jesus.
We come from various backgrounds and we often have differing beliefs.
Yet in all our differences the team of volunteers all have one thing in common:
We have a passionate
love for God and love for people
and the Gospel!
This maxim is the core of who we are and what we do.
The love for Jesus Christ and our fellow man compels us to labour and lay our lives
down for others. We long to see the Kingdom of Heaven grow with people.
People are the treasure of heaven! And Jesus is our Treasure Keeper...
So what does EAR2HEAR MINISTRIES do?
We are a ministry that strives to provide people with truthful and affordable disci-
pleship resources. Whether it is a Bible, Bible studies, Discipleship
courses or Magazines and booklets. We also assist new or strug-
gling ministries by providing them with resources and opportuni-
ties to market themselves in a very dynamic world.
We are in the very long process of registering as an NGO with
tax exemption status.
We are also managing THE EAR2HEAR NETWORK - a network
started by our ministry. Our role in the network is to provide resources, develop mar-
keting strategies for our partners, create web sites, and encourage networking op-
portunities. We do not own or run the partner ministries. We believe in keeping
every ministry as an independent unit. We maintain our relationships by offering our
help to partnering ministries in any way possible.
Partnering with us does not cost a fee; however it does require involvement and
contribution of services. This contribution is based on: abilities, networking contacts
and skills of the partnering ministries, churches, cell groups, organizations, businesses
and individuals.
How We Work!
We do not actively solicit money from sponsors. Everything we try to do is for free.
We do however accept donations and offerings gratefully. We also like to give our
resources at cost with little or no markup. Networking partners get major resource
subsidies from us. In some cases networking organizations/individuals receive subsi-
dies of 100% after due consideration, prayer and consultation with them. If you
have further questions please contact us.
WHAT IS NETWORKING
Networking provides Ministries, Churches, missionaries, cell groups,
events coordinators, businesses and individuals the opportunities to ef-
fectively work together for the purpose of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Many people and organizations struggle day-in and day-out to
accomplish the visionary task that God has laid out for them. Not
because God doesn’t want us to succeed but rather because
God desires that we recognize the importance of working to-
gether .It is important to recognize our strengths and weak-
nesses; by doing this we find area’s that others can assist in
greater work, more effectively.
The Body of Christ is made up of many parts - but they are all one.
If one part is missing the body is operates at a less than efficient
way. Our desire is to see a more optimal Spiritual service that
would see people crossing and being interconnected on all lev-
els. THE EA2HEAR NETWORK is cross-racial, cross-cultural, cross-
generational and non-denominational. This serves to reinforce the
idea that God finds diversity beautiful and he blesses it!
Since inception we have seen these concepts above become a real-
ity for us and others. Many thousands of people have been reached
and loved. And for as long as God keeps doors open we will continue
to work together and grow as a network.
WHAT IS EVANGELISM
Evangelism is at the heart of what we do at EAR2HEAR MINISTRIES. It is what we
call the THIRD major commandment that Jesus gave His disciples. (Some may
also call it the “Great Commission”). Evangelism is not the same as proselytism
(force conversions). Evangelism is also not the same as evangelization
(Christianizing / “Churching”) the world.
Evangelism is being a light to the world – a witness to our families, communities,
our country and to the nations.
Evangelism is when a Christian, under God’s clear leading, shares the Good
News (the Gospel) with people they meet in every day life. This may include shar-
ing about Jesus; and sharing about your own experience of God’s grace (also
called your testimony) among other things. There are others, such as missionaries
and evangelists that purposefully meet people for evangelism sake. Our desire is
to see that evangelism be taken up by all members of the Body of Christ (the
Church of Jesus) and not just by evangelists and missionaries. Remember we are
the sheep - and in the Church it is sheep that produce sheep. Our experience
points out again and again, that we cannot expect the Church leadership to
produce sheep!
