The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as one substance in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.
Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
Christ suffered, died , and was resurrected to make us whole in our soul, spirit, and body. Christ redemption is total, complete, and includes every part of our being that pertains to life and Godliness. Healing for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ and is the privilege of every member of the church today.
The Church is a local community of baptized believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.
The Great Commission is the primary mission of the church. It is the preaching of the Gospel message that through Jesus Christ’s’ suffering, death, burial, and resurrection, everlasting and abundant life and the remission of sins is offered to whosoever believes and dedicated themselves to following Jesus. It is the establishment of disciples of Jesus in every nation and the culture of God’s Holy Kingdom throughout all the earth. This message must be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations before Jesus shall return and the end of this age will come.he resurrection of the just is the blessed hope of the body of Christ.
Dustan and Darlene Stanley were married in 2007 and the very next year they left for a fourteen month around the world missionary journey that in many ways never ended. This was the very beginning of Hasten Nations.
Since, they have travelled to 35 nations teaching the Word of God, preaching the Gospel to many who have never heard it, serving the suffering, and fighting human trafficking by caring for at-risk kids.
Hasten Nations currently has three host homes in Nepal, caring for twelve children full-time, and a network of over 3o ministers of the Gospel that are always taking the Gospel to people groups who have never had the opportunity to hear it before.
They have two children, Daniel and Daisy, and currently live in Chattanooga, TN.
Hasten Nations is the ministry of Dustan & Darlene Stanley. Our mission is to take the love, hope, & faith of Jesus Christ to the suffering and unreached world. In short, we take Jesus to the nations. We focus on reaching the unreached nations of the world, saving God’s Babies, and training others to do the same.
