Mission Statement: 

Life Development Foundation (LIDEFO) is an established NGO committed to eradicating poverty and its reunification. This we hope to achieve in partnership with genuine development partners and vulnerable groups committed to help themselves unto self reliance.

Organizational Statement of Faith: 

The Bible

The entire Bible is God-inspired and inerrant as recorded in the original manuscripts. God ƒƒ ‚ƒ ƒ‚ ‚‚?s truth is fully and clearly revealed through the Bible; it does not need to be interpreted through other writings.

God

One God exists as three persons ƒƒ ‚ƒ ƒ‚ ‚‚? the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. They are co-equal, and each is fully God.

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is both God and the Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and physically died on the cross to make payment for the sins of mankind. When He took on a human nature He never ceased to be God; He was both fully God and fully man. He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, where He acts as the Mediator ƒƒ ‚ƒ ƒ‚ ‚‚? the High Priest ƒƒ ‚ƒ ƒ‚ ‚‚? for believers.

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is a divine person, equal with God the Father and with the Son.

Heaven and Hell

Heaven and hell are real places. Heaven is the place where God resides; true followers of Jesus Christ will spend eternity with Him in heaven. Hell is the place that God created for Satan and his fallen angels to be punished for their rebellion against Him.

Man

Man has a sinful nature and is spiritually dead ƒƒ ‚ƒ ƒ‚ ‚‚? that is, separated from God. He would be hopelessly trapped in this state were it not for God ƒƒ ‚ƒ ƒ‚ ‚‚?s grace and spiritual regeneration, through faith in His Son.

Salvation

People are saved from hell by admitting that they are sinners and by accepting, by faith, Jesus ƒƒ ‚ƒ ƒ‚ ‚‚? sacrificial death in their behalf. Salvation cannot be attained by church membership or by good works; it is a gift of God's grace, obtained through faith.
