Our Beliefs

Be His Witnesses Ministry is a theologically conservative and evangelical ministry with Baptist roots. We maintain that the Scriptures alone are the sufficient source of revelation for the individual and the Church. The Holy Spirit does speak to us and guides us, but the Holy Spirit never disagrees with the Word of God.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

We affirm the following theological statements:

The Apostle’s Creed

NAE Statement of Faith (1942)

The Lausanne Covenant (1974)

Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy (1978)

The Baptist Faith & Message (2000)

The Nashville Statement on Biblical Sexuality (2017)

Privacy & Security

We are a U.S.-based ministry, and while much of what we do is here at home, part of our work extends internationally. This includes in regions where openly sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ can carry serious legal, social, or physical risk.

For that reason, we intentionally limit certain identifying details on this website, such as specific names, exact locations, photos, and details of international ministry activities.

This isn't about secrecy. It's about protecting the safety of our team members that travel abroad and the local believers they serve alongside. In some countries, publicizing names, faces, or precise locations can lead to surveillance, harassment, detainment, or worse for the people involved.

We're grateful for your support and prayers as we carry out this work faithfully and wisely, both in the U.S. and around the world.
