About John 1:1 Ministry
John 1:1 Ministry is an independent non-denominational ministry, a non-profit faith based organization. We are not registered as a 501c3 organization. Our founding fathers of our nation saw the importance of faith based organizations in setting the moral and religious standards for our nation, and they protected it under the First Amendment. Our authority comes from God alone.
We are primarily an online ministry. This allows us to reach out and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ globally. We also serve our local community as well as people in need all over the United States and around the globe. We will go where ever there is a need that God calls us to serve.
John 1:1 Ministry and all who call themselves Christian have been given a great calling in
Matthew 28: 18 - 20 "18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
We are also called to His service to be servants.
Matthew 20:"28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Galations 5:13"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."
OUR FAITH
ONE GOD
There is one God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; who subsist in unity, and also as three separate distinct Persons (John 14:7–16; Genesis 1:1; 1:26–27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Isaiah 40:28–29; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
JESUS CHRIST, GOD’S SON
Jesus Christ is God’s Son. He was born of a virgin as both God and man, lived a sinless life, died to atone for the sins of human beings, was buried, arose from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will literally return to earth (Matthew 1:22–23; Isaiah 9:6; 53:5–6; John 1:1–5; 14:10–30; Hebrews 4:14–15; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Romans 1:3–4; Acts 1:9–11; 1 Timothy 6:14–15; Titus 2:13).
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is the divine helper, assistant, counselor and instructor and His work is to reveal Christ, convict of sin, lead to repentance, guide believers, comfort, strengthen, and sanctify the soul (2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7–13; 14:16–17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; 5:25; Galatians 5:25).
THE BIBLE
The Bible is God’s Holy Word, without error, and is the sole authority for life (Psalm 119:105; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:20–21; 2 Timothy 3:16).
CREATED MAN’S NEED FOR GOD
Human beings are the special creations of God, made in His image. They fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and all human beings are sinners in need of salvation (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3–6; Isaiah 53:6; 59:1–2; Romans 3:23).
SALVATION
Salvation is a gift through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ. Every person who truly is saved is eternally secure in the Lord Jesus Christ and will spend eternity in heaven, while those who die in their sins will spend eternity in hell (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8–9; John 14:6; 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1).
BAPTISM
Baptism is by immersion after salvation and is done in obedience to Jesus Christ’s command (Matthew 3:15–17; Acts 2:38)
.
BELIEVER’S ACCESS TO GOD
Each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 4:14–16; 7:19; Ephesians 3:12).
THE CHURCH
The Church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the Head (Matthew 16:18; Acts 20:27–29; 1 Corinthians 12:27–29; Ephesians 1:21–23; 3:20–22; 4:1–3; 5:21–27; Colossians 1:17–19).
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to allow the Holy Spirit to work through us for His purpose, to grow the Kingdom of God that He may be Glorified.
LEADERSHIP
Ministrica Teresa W Taylor
Ministrica Teresa Taylor je zaređena i na dobrom je glasu kroz kršćanska Globalna Outreach ministarstva (ministrica #104546 dodijeljena). Tereza je poznavala Gospoda Isusa Hrista celog svog života. Kada je imala samo nekoliko mjeseci dok je bila u naručju svoje bake, pokazala je na sliku i rekla "Isuse". Odgajana je u baptističkoj crkvi Brentwood u High Pointu. Pohađala je mnoge druge denominacijske crkve uključujući katoličku, baptističku, metodističku, crkvu Božju i druge, ali smatra Shiloh baptističku crkvu u Ramseuru, NC svojim domom.
Tereza je 2. avgusta 1987. usvojila Isusa Hrista kao svog Spasitelja. U januaru 2021. Bog joj je rekao da svoju kuću dovede u red. Zatim 19. februara 2021. godine, dok je svjedočila kako su je poučavali o Isusu od svojih najranijih sjećanja kao dijete, Bog ju je prekinuo i odlučno joj rekao: "Niko te nije učio, Zvao sam te!" Nakon što je radio na njoj 9 mjeseci, Bog joj je pokazao da ju je pozvao u službu. Borila se s Njegovim pozivom jer je bila poučena da žene nisu pozvane da budu službenice. Bog joj je pokazao kako je Marija Magdelena, žena, bila prva koju je odabrao da propovijeda puno jevanđelje Njegovog vaskrsenja, kada joj je rekao da 'idi i reci' u Ivanu 20:17. Bog joj je pokazao kako je već bila Njegova sluškinja kroz sve svoje godine, podsjetivši je i iznijevši na vidjelo kako je započela i vodila biblijske studije i molitvene grupe. Izvukao je na svjetlo uspomene kako je služila propovjednicima kroz biblijske savjete, ohrabrenje i molitvu. Pokazao joj je staro pismo koje je bilo izgubljeno i zaboravljeno mnogo godina, od pastora, u kojem joj se zahvaljuje na uticaju koji je imala na Njegovu službu i porodicu, koje je stiglo sve do Crkve u Indiji. Također je iznio na vidjelo kako mu je bila vjerna služeći izraelskom Pokretu vjernih Brda hrama, ali i kako je služila lokalno pružajući Biblije onima koji je nisu imali, i podsjećajući je na mnoge koje joj je poslao za pomozi. Ona je vjerno prihvatila svoj poziv na službu 2. novembra 2021. godine. Bog ju je naveo da stvori službu po Jovanu 1:1 jer je rekao da je tu počela Njegova služba. On ju je naveo da stvori službu na mreži kako bi ispunila svoj poziv iz Mateja 28:19-20 "Idite dakle i učinite učenicima sve narode". Počela je raditi na web stranici 17. novembra 2021., a pokrenula ga je 1. decembra 2021. kao www.John1OneMinistry.com.
Sa srcem slugu Tereza je svoj život posvetila služenju Gospodu Isusu Hristu i služenju drugima. Diplomirala je društvene nauke i bila je zamjenica šerifa 17 godina. Bog joj je dao muža savršenog za nju, kada joj se pridružio u braku sa njenim mužem Chadom Taylorom. Čad je bio izvor snage, podrške, ohrabrenja i pomoći u njihovom domu, životu i njenoj službi. Imaju petoro djece; Crystal ~31 godina (3 unuke ~ Alexis, Hailey i Payton), Andrea ~ 21 godina (zet Darrell Kidd), Joshua ~ 19 godina, David ~ 14 godina, i njihov anđeo beba Josif (umro je u utrobi u 3 mjeseca od trizomije 18). Također su nezvanično usvojili dva sina, Dariusa i Jefferyja. Kao porodica uživaju u vrtlarstvu, kampovanju, pecanju i geocachingu.
