I have been in the ministry for 28 years, have been a pastor for 16 years and presently pastor Mt. Sinai World Outreach Ministry. I have been the pastor here since 1992. Another goal that I had in mind was to make it easy to enroll. With many schools, there are so many entrance fees that by the time it’s all figured, the prices with the tuition are many times out of reach. I feel this problem is solved with MSW. You can begin the process towards earning your degree by completing the enclosed application and simply sending with the application the first tuition payment of only $100.00. Your monthly tuition will only be $50.00 per month payable by the 21st of the month. We will send you your completed degree program in advance. It’s just that simple! Again, thank you for considering MSW. May God bless you as you discern His will for your life. If I can be of any further help, do not hesitate to call at the above toll free number. I want you to be totally satisfied. I feel that MSW is the Lord’s doings, Psalms 9:11.

Mission Statement

To provide you Scriptural training from the Word of God.

To provide the foundation for the life of evangelism, Christian faith, and servitude, that stands as a testimony of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. To strengthen the student’s personal commitment to Christ as a lifelong witness and effective minister of God’s Word, and to enhance the understanding of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit and His will for the life of the individual.

Doctrinal Statement

Worship
We believe one should give God true praise only! (“But the hour is coming, and now is when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such to worship Him” John 4:23) We believe one should feel free to praise God with the dance (Psalm 149:3), shout and clapping of hands (Psalm 47:1) instruments (Psalm 150:4) and lifting hands (Psalm 134:2).

Evangelism
We believe sheep beget sheep by our testimony. (“Then the Master said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled” Luke 14:23)

Mission
We believe we should help those who are in need whether they are saved or lost, black or white, bound or free (“For I was hungry and you gave Me food. I was thirsty and you gave Me drink. I was a stranger and you took Me in. I was naked and you clothed Me. I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.” Matthew 25:35-36)

Deliverance
We believe Jesus Christ can set us free from all disease, addiction, and emotional problems. (“And these signs will follow those who believe; In My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; They will take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will by no means hurt them, they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” Mark 16:17-18)

Holy Ghost
We believe the Holy Spirit in the church is for the believer to be empowered to be an effective servant, and it is the Holy Spirit that frees us to deal with the cares of this world. (“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” John 14:26) and (“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy” Acts 2:17-18)

Gifts
We believe the gifts that God gave to the church should operate freely so the body of Christ will be a model in our community and in the world. (“Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually; And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.” I Corinthians 12:27-28)
