Statement of Faith
GentleWind Ministries International was established to encourage and strengthen the Body of Christ by preaching God's Word and through the power of music. Our highest aim is to know Christ, make Him known, and be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are not a denominational or humanitarian organization, but we work closely with many churches and Christian organizations from diverse denominations to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
With 38 years of ministry experience, David Michael has developed a deep appreciation for the wide variety of worship styles, viewpoints, and traditions that each denomination brings.
Our Beliefs
As a ministry, we adhere to the historic Christian faith as professed in the Apostles' Creed. We also affirm that the Sacred Scriptures (The Bible) are the inspired Word of God and serve as the authoritative rule of faith and conduct for all of humanity (II Timothy 3:15-17, I Thessalonians 2:13, II Peter 1:21).
Therefore, alongside the Apostles' Creed, we have included Scripture references that summarize our statement of faith.
