A Bit About Us
Working Towards a Better Tomorrow
Father’s Heart Ministries is a concept that was born while serving as a leader within local churches. In over 16 years as an active church member and leader, my family life was mostly built around church activities and calendar. During outreach ministries, the churches that I attended used various evangelism modes and resources that include presentation, presence, and power/encounter evangelism to seek and save unbelievers. Almost all the churches conducted some form of outreach ministry or programs that are geared towards street evangelism, nursing homes, and small group connections. These programs are generally directed at growing church membership and getting people saved (justification).
During a ministry trip to England and Denmark, I was exposed to a vibrant church located in the center of the underprivileged and multicultural part of Copenhagen, Denmark. This church invaded the slums of their area with the power and manifest presence of the Holy Spirit with remarkable success. During ministry time at this church, the presence of God seemed more evident in this impoverished neighborhood than many other places that we visited. This vibrant church invested their time and treasures in the worst part of their society that consisted of the poor, orphans, immigrants, Muslims, and the economically disadvantaged. They demonstrated true and undefiled religion before God to the people that cannot repay them with tangible benefits and unwanted in other parts of the society (Jas 1:27; Is 58; Dt 26:12).
After that experience, I sense a deeper commitment to reach the untapped harvest field of the societal outcasts and unlovable with the precious gospel of Jesus Christ. I took sabbatical from church leadership to study and minister to those outside of the four walls of the "church" and in places where the “lepers” of today’s society congregate. They are “night owls” that generally operate and patronize the red-light districts from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m as compared to average church goers that generally operate or minister from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. These people often live in open rebellious lifestyle and are not expecting to encounter Christians during their “congregations” at bars and night clubs. However, God is actively seeking them and manifested miracles, signs and wonders during these encounters with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. God has not given up on these people and is waiting for them to come back home like the parable of the lost coin and prodigal sons (Lk 15:9-32).
