Statement of Faith [ Back to top ]
Mission Possible uses the following to express its Statement of Faith:
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that, for the salvation of the lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences.
In 1969 Jack Snyder, founder of Mission Possible, along with his evangelistic mentor, James McKeegan, went on a Christian outreach to Haiti. Jack Snyder was deeply moved by the situation of the people. Initially he and his wife, Bettie, worked to raise funds to build churches. In April 1979, the Lord enabled the Snyders to form Mission Possible ("MP"). In 1980, Mission Possible Canada was formed as a sister ministry.
MP began with a single school in Montrouis, Haiti. Since then, five additional schools have been started in Haiti.
In 1988, MP pioneered a small work in the Dominican Republic. The work was formalized in 1992 with the establishment of Ebenezer Educational Center at Batey Central in Barahona. The school began with kindergarten through third grade and now serves students in the high school levels.
In recent years, their priorities have been to develop Haitian and Dominican national leaders, increase the spiritual training and ministry, improve the school programs, and upgrade facilities. Despite political and cultural obstacles, the spiritual ministry now includes six Christian schools, five churches, discipleship classes, and a Bible School.
