| Faith in Jesus Christ is the hope of my salvation. I believe Jesus Christ our Lord is the Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. I believe He suffered as a man on earth so that He could experience my pain. I believe He was crucified, dead and buried for my sins and descended into hell to take my place. I believe Jesus on the third day was raised from the grave by the power of God. I believe He ascended into heaven and even now sits at the right hand of God the Father and is praying for my victory in life. I believe the Holy Spirit is present with me today empowering me to live effectively and to enjoy the community of believers. I now have forgiveness of sins, abundant life, the hope of resurrection and the sure expectation of life everlasting because of Jesus Christ my Lord. |

The First World Conference of Pentecostal Holiness Churches met in September of 1990 in Jerusalem, Israel. This was a significant milestone in the church's history. There the PHC established the Target 2000 goals globally. The church adopted The Jerusalem Proclamation, which has become a global battle cry for PHC members.
God is calling the Pentecostal Holiness Church to become a kingdom of worshipping priests who will worship Him with all their beings--spirit, soul, and body. We are to live lives of worship, giving praise continually unto the Lord. Our churches are to be noted for their praise and celebration. We are to learn a worship lifestyle that will model for the whole world what it means to love God with all your might, mind, and means.
God is calling the Pentecostal Holiness Church to become an army of witnesses who will live to share the good news. Our whole lifestyle is to be built around the compassion to witness. We are to feast in order to witness. We are to witness as we travel, as we study, as we eat, as we work, as we play. We are to choose our vocations, our homes, our church sites, our dress, our language, our friends, our neighbors in order to better witness to this generation. We are to change our lifestyles in order to become more effective witnesses.
God is calling us to a witnessing lifestyle. God is calling the Pentecostal Holiness Church to become a unique instrument of world evangelization which will penetrate many unreached peoples of this earth with the gospel. We are to gear up like an invading army to go into the strongholds of the enemy with our lifestyle of worship and witness in order to spread the kingdom of God and the reign of King Jesus. We are to go on a wartime basis in order to carry out this God-given mandate. This threefold calling is the foundation for Target 2000. Failure to respond to this call will doom the mission. It will make its mission impossible. Response to this threefold call will assure the possession of our promised land, it will guarantee the taking of our mountain (Joshua 14:12). |
