Casa De Fe
We are an organization that cares for the needs of children in the Pastaza province in Shell, Ecuador. These children are those without homes, as well as children who have been removed from homes due to many factors including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, or unsafe environment.
We love, educate and serve children who have been abandoned, many who have been abused and a large minority with physical or mental handicaps. Many come from distant Amazonian jungle villages with no other available social support. We provide for their routine medical needs, as well as medicines, therapies, and even surgeries required for our special needs children. At Casa de Fe we provide education to our children in a small classroom environment with Christ at the center of our curriculum. Instruction is provided by an Ecuadorian staff, with Americans teaching English classes. All curriculum at the Casa de Fe School aligns with the national requirements for schools in Ecuador. Our goal is to enable our students to pursue an advanced degree at a Spanish or English speaking institution. Casa de Fe provides a loving environment for the children we serve - See more at: http://lacasadefe.org
The sixty-six canonical books of the Bible as originally written were inspired of God, hence free from error. They constitute the only infallible guide in faith and practice.
There is one God, the Creator and Preserver of all things, infinite in being and perfection. He exists eternally in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are of one substance and equal in power and glory.
God created Adam and Eve in his own image. By disobedience, they fell from their sinless state through the temptation by Satan. This fall plunged humanity into a state of sin and spiritual death, and brought upon the entire race the sentence of eternal death. From this condition we can be saved only by the grace of God, through faith, on the basis of the work of Christ, and by the agency of the Holy Spirit.
The eternally pre-existent Son became incarnate without human father, by being born of the Virgin Mary. Thus, in the Lord Jesus Christ, divine and human natures were united in one Person, both natures being whole, perfect, and distinct. To effect salvation, he lived a sinless life and died on the cross as the sinner's substitute, shedding his blood for the remission of sins. On the third day he rose from the dead in the body which had been laid in the tomb. He ascended to the right hand of the Father, where he performs the ministry of intercession. He shall come again, personally and visibly, to complete his saving work and to consummate the eternal plan of God.
The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Triune God. He applies to man the work of Christ. By justification and adoption we are given a right standing before God; by regeneration, sanctification, and glorification our nature is renewed.
When we have turned to God in penitent faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are accountable to God for living a life separated from sin and characterized by the fruit of the Spirit. It is our responsibility to contribute by word and deed to the universal spread of the Gospel.
At the end of the age, the bodies of the dead shall be raised. The righteous shall enter into full possession of eternal bliss in the presence of God, and the wicked shall be condemned to eternal death.
