  • Because of the nature of the work we do with children who have been exploited we must be diligent with our application process on who is approved to come and have any kind of interaction with the children who reside at ZOE Children’s Homes. Therefore, please answer the following questions:

  • ZOE International's Statement of Faith

  • The following doctrinal statement is the position of ZOE International. It is very important that you read and understand the contents of this statement. It is written not to force compliance of belief upon every point, but to discover the beliefs of the applicant. If there is a part with which you do not agree, please note and comment at the bottom of this page.

    • We believe in the virgin birth and deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    • We believe that Jesus is God's Son and the only sacrifice for sin.
    • We believe that man must be born again to receive eternal life. We believe that you only have to confess with your mouth "Jesus is your Lord, and believe in your heart God has raised Jesus from the dead" and you will receive eternal salvation.
    • We believe that man was created in the image of God, that man sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God.
    • We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures as a substitutionary sacrifice. We believe that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood.
    • We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and in His present life there for us as High Priest and advocate.
    • We believe in the return of Jesus Christ and the rapture of the church.
    • We believe in the eternal reward for the believer, heaven; and eternal damnation for the lost, hell.
    • We believe in the infallibility of the scriptures. We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God, and that they are the supreme and final authority in faith and practice.
    • We believe that divine healing is part of redemption's purchase and is God's will for all who believe.
    • We believe that every believer has the Holy Spirit within them through the new birth. In addition to receiving the Holy Spirit at their new birth, we believe that every Christian can be baptized in the Holy Spirit (or filled with the Holy Spirit). This subsequent experience is for the purpose of empowering the believer for service. We believe that the Holy Spirit within a believer is essential for salvation while baptism in the Holy Spirit is not essential though encouraged. We further believe that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
