There are many countries where Christians are under great pressure, or even be pursued. We are also on the road in these countries. For this reason, we deliberately publish little or no personal information.

FAQs
Did a friend tell you about it? PURE Ministries told? Or did you simply come across our website online? You'll probably have a few questions... Here we briefly comment on the most important questions.
PURE Ministries is a mission service. We are not a church, we are starting new churches. These operate independently and separately from PURE Ministries. We also support existing churches in defining and achieving their goals with our know-how.
The Christian faith is close to our hearts. Just like the disciples of Jesus back then, our vision is to bring the Christian faith and values closer to people. We orient ourselves towards Jesus. Before Jesus went back to heaven, his last words were «Make disciples of all nations».
This is our vision: Our heart is that all people know the good news of Jesus our Savior and King. Mission comes from Latin and means to be sent. Following the example of Jesus, sent to people who do not yet know HIM. «For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.»(John 3,16:XNUMX). In our service we are guided by this Lausanne commitment.
DMM stands for multiplicative discipleship movements (Disciple Multiplication Movement). This is a type of missionary service with the Focus or on the Multiplying followers of Jesus and House Churches. But it is not a theology or denomination. One speaks of a movement if there are 1 baptisms, 000 house churches that have multiplied into the 100th generation. There are at least 4 such movements and around 2 such initiatives worldwide (Stand 2023). Just as many are in preparation. Over 100 million people worldwide are part of such a movement. These movements do not see themselves as criticism or competition to the existing church landscape, but rather as a complement. They reach people who cannot be reached by traditional churches and offer them a spiritual home.
PURE Ministries is organized as an association according to Art. 60 ff of the Civil Code. The board is responsible for the management and an annual audit takes place.
We are 100% financed by donations from private individuals and churches. We do a large part of our work on a voluntary basis and always free of charge. In this way, we want to create the opportunity to serve all people, regardless of their financial resources.
Thanks to the slim structures, go over 90% of donations go to the mission. The remaining 10% is for administration and infrastructure (e.g. website, fundraising, etc.). The mission includes strategic finances for ongoing mission projects (e.g. travel, training and mentoring).
We are members of the Swiss Evangelical Alliance SEA. We maintain a friendly exchange with the churches and ministries in the regions in which we are active. This, for example, with the Evangelical Alliances, Campus for Christ, Frontiers, and much more.
We profess to be identical in wording Principles of the Swiss Evangelical Alliance (SEA) and the European Evangelical Alliance (EEA). This includes belief in the triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), the Bible (Old and New Testament serves as the basis). Central values are human dignity, forgiveness and love.
In detail, our faith is based on the following points:
We believe in the triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He created the world, loves it and maintains it. In this he shows his sovereignty and grace.
The Bible, consisting of the writings of the Old and New Testaments, is the revelation of the triune God. It is inspired by God's Spirit, reliable and the highest authority in all questions of faith and lifestyle.
As the image of God, human beings have an unmistakable dignity. He is created male and female. He is separated from God by sin and guilt.
Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, died as a representative for all people. His sacrificial death alone is the basis for forgiveness of guilt, for deliverance from the power of sin and for acquittal in God's judgment.
Jesus Christ, raised from the dead by God, is the only way to God. Man is declared righteous by God's grace through faith in him alone.
Through the Holy Spirit people know God. The Holy Spirit creates new life through rebirth and enables believers to live according to God's will. He gives them gifts to serve.
Jesus Christ is building his worldwide church. He calls and empowers believers to proclaim the Gospel and to act lovingly and justly.
Jesus Christ will return in power and glory for all to see, judging the living and the dead and consummating the kingdom of God. He will create a new heaven and a new earth.
