In early 2003, God began speaking to me about putting together a community wide event, that would unite Christians and churches for the purpose of sharing the gospel.  In my experience of attending Christian events, I noticed the failure and missed opportunity to attract and minister to the lost.  God put a burden in my heart to develop a ministry and strategy to get the gospel in front of those who do not know Him.  In the early stages of PraiseFest, I noticed the lack of Unity and common purpose within the church.  Jesus' had prayed in John 17, for the church to become one in His name.  Well this was not happening for the most part.  God has blessed our ministry to be able to address this in a positive way.  We are breaking down racial, denominational and socioeconomic barriers with the Gospel of Jesus.

Dr. Matthew Dunaway, President-PraiseFest Ministries 

Jesus said " May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me..." (John 17:23, NIV).

 

We believe that Jesus is calling Christians, ministries and churches across social, racial and denominational lines to join together for the common cause, to spread the gospel.

 

PraiseFest Ministries provides a platform for this to happen through

dynamic crusades and "Cruise With A Cause"
Sharing the Love of Jesus with Students

Our mission to Unify Christians and Ministries from all over the world to build the Kingdom of God is predicated on what we can agree in unity about.

International emphasis on unifying Christians for one purpose

Our Core Doctrinal Statement:

 

1) Triune God - Matthew 28:19 - we believe in one God who exist in three distinct persons: Father, Son & Holy Spirit

 

2) Bible as the perfect Word of God - 2 Tim 3:16 - The entire Bible is inspired by God, without error and the authority on which we base our faith, conduct and doctrine.

 

3) Jesus as the only Way to heaven - John 14L6 - Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to this earth as the Saviour of the world.

 

4) Salvation through Grace alone, not works, and faith in the finished Atonement of the Cross.  Romans 11:6 - Jesus died on the cross, shed His Blood for our sins and rose again.   Salvation is found by placing faith in what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
