ABOUT DR. HARDY BANKS, JR.
What I Believe

​I believe t​hat soul-winning is an important part of Christianity.  A great gift has been given to us, and that gift is the knowledge of Jesus Christ.  The benefit of this gift is eternal life.  Because we are all God's precious gifts, we have been given the privilege and the honor to work in God's harvest fields.  Jesus Christ said that we should go into all parts of the world and share the Gospel with all people. 

Jesus Christ is a gift to you, and you are a gift to God.  ​​I want to encourage you to take the knowledge of Jesus Christ, which has been given freely to you, to minister the eternal goodness of God's love to others.  I pray that you are inspired to be a witness for Jesus Christ and for our Father in heaven.  If we don't tell the world, who will?
