THE OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY ARE:(1) TO ADVANCE THE CHRISTIAN FAITH FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATEMENT OF FAITH SET OUT IN THE SCHEDULE;(2) THE PREVENTION OR RELIEF OF POVERTY (OR FINANCIAL HARDSHIP) BY PROVIDING OR ASSISTING IN THE PROVISION OF EDUCATION, TRAINING, SOCIAL AND HEALTHCARE RELATED PROGRAMMES; AND(3) TO PROMOTE AND CARE FOR THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SPIRITUAL HEALTH OF PEOPLE INFECTED AND AFFECTED BY HIV AND AIDS AND OTHER CHRONIC ILLNESSES GLOBALLY, BUT ESPECIALLY IN AFRICA, THROUGH THE PREVENTION, CARE, TREATMENT, SUPPORT AND EMPOWERMENT OF SUCH PEOPLE.SCHEDULE TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF LIVING HOPE INTERNATIONAL (UK) STATEMENT OF FAITH WE BELIEVE IN THE TRIUNE GOD, THE FATHER, SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL ITS STATEMENTS.THEREFORE WE CONFESS:A. GOD THE FATHER IS CREATOR AND PRESERVER OF ALL;B. JESUS CHRIST, TRUE MAN AND TRUE GOD, IS THE SON OF GOD. HE IS BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY AND HE HAS SUBSTITUTIONARILY SHED HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. HE IS BODILY RESURRECTED AND HAS RETURNED INTO THE GLORY OF GOD. HE SITS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD AND WILL MANIFESTLY RETURN;C. GOD HAS SENT HIS HOLY SPIRIT INTO THE WORLD, SO THAT HE MIGHT OPEN THE EYES OF MAN IN RESPECT OF SIN, AND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND OF JUDGEMENT AND THAT HE MAY REVEAL THE WHOLE DIVINE TRUTH TO GOD'S REDEEMED;D. HUMAN NATURE IS SINFUL. ONLY OWING TO REDEMPTION THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CAN MAN BY CONVERSION AND HIM BEING BORN AGAIN BE JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD; E. THE REDEEMED WILL RISE FROM THE DEAD IN GLORY TO ETERNAL LIFE; THOSE WHO ARE NOT REDEEMED WILL PASS INTO EVERLASTING DESTRUCTION;F. ALL THOSE WHO ARE BORN-AGAIN CONSTITUTE THE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST; ANDG. FOR THE CHURCH THE MISSIONARY COMMAND OF JESUS IS VALID AND BINDING: GO THEREFORE TO ALL NATIONS AND MAKE THEM MY DISCIPLES, BAPTISING THEN IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS I HAVE COMMANDED YOU (MATTHEW 28:19-20)
