ABOUT DR. HARDY BANKS, JR.
What I Believe

​I believe t​hat soul-winning is one the most important parts of Christianity.  John 3:16 state that "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."  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.                                                                                                                                                                      We are Ambassadors of Christ representing the Kingdom of God here on Earth. It is a privilege and honor to be chosen to be a  witness for our Savior.   Personal testimonies are very powerful and influential
 when winning souls. Our mission is to go everywhere in the world, and share the Good News with  everyone. Mark 16:15 "Jesus said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."  

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, and share the eternal goodness of God's love with others.  I pray that you are inspired to be a witness for Jesus Christ and for our  Heavenly Father.  Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
