Our Mission
OUR MOTIVATION
How can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:14-15)
As a sending organization Liebenzell USA is concerned about the condition of your feet. No, you did not misread that. We are genuinely concerned about your feet. We want you to have beautiful feet.
At Liebenzell, we believe that the Good News of Jesus Christ is a beneficial and life-changing force for every person, culture and nation. Our job is to live and pass on this truth by mobilizing and equipping missionaries and their senders to reach the ends of the earth.
Today there are over seven billion people in the world. Only one-third of the people on earth confess to be Christians, and many of those hunger for teaching and discipleship. Jesus Christ gave His Church the mandate to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything He commanded (Matthew 28:18-20). Liebenzell is committed to this task. We labor to disciple the nations in 26 countries around the world.
We are compelled to world mission by the great love God has shown to us. He desires that all hear the Good News – and we want to be the feet to bring it!

OUR FAITH
We believe that the whole Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and is the Divine authority and infallible rule for faith, life and doctrine.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, equal in nature, power and glory.
We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His shed blood as the only atonement for sin, in His bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe in the Holy Spirit who convicts of sin, testifies of Christ, enables the believer to live a victorious life, and guides into all truth.
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is in need of regeneration through faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe in the resurrection of the body. The believer will arise to eternal life, the unbeliever will arise to eternal condemnation.
We believe in the Spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the commission of the Risen Christ, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19,20).
We uphold the truths as stated in the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds.
