About us
Who We Are...
Ebenezer 2nd Advent Ministries is a supporting ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church whose fundamental purpose is to prepare an end time generation of leaders that God can put the spotlight on in the last days of this earth’s history to demonstrate before the universe that Satan’s charges that the law of God cannot be kept and that God was unfair in requiring that His creatures live by its precepts are utterly baseless and false.
This end time group of leaders, like Daniel in Babylon, Joseph in Egypt, and Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther in the courts of the kings of Media and Persia, must have a strength of character that is both strong to confront evil and firm to resist it, but they must also be able to do so in a way that walks a fine line of moral rectitude without rigidity, accommodation without compromise, flexibility without selling oneself short on one’s convictions, adaptability without pandering to special interests.
It is through the development of such a character that we believe that God will be able to successfully use them to complete the gospel commission given by Jesus to His followers during the time of the latter rain outpouring of the Holy Spirit just before us.
Our Mission & Purpose
Mission
Our mission is to provide Adventist leaders with networking opportunities as well as books, seminars, and other resources to help empower them in their ministries and to further strengthen their leadership capacities.
Purpose
In providing leaders of our church with various leadership resources and networking and training opportunities our goal is to prepare a generation of leaders who have the courage, tenacity, fortitude, resilience, flexibility, and perseverance necessary to stand in the day of the Lord.
What We Believe...
We believe that the Seventh-day Adventist Church is a prophetic movement, the remnant church of Bible prophecy (see Revelation 12:17), that the Bible is our sole rule of faith, and that the writings of Ellen White have been given to us as a special source of guidance and inspiration for these last days of earth’s history (see Revelation 19:10).
We believe that the Seventh-day Adventist Church has been called by God to give to the world the three angels messages of Revelation 14 as well as the loud cry of the 4th angel of Revelation 18, and the fundamental reason this ministry was established is to help to prepare such a generation of leaders who can complete our church’s mission successfully in the time of the latter rain outpouring of the Holy Spirit just before us and by so doing to hasten Christ’s soon return.
The word Ebenezer in the title of our ministry’s name means “stone of help” and comes from a story in the history of ancient Israel as recorded in 1 Samuel 7 in which the children of Isreal were delivered from their enemies in answer to the prophet Samuel’s prayers. In this instance, the Lord used loud claps of thunder to discomfit, scatter, route, and defeat their enemies.
