The Josiah Foundation
• Helping those who live in deep poverty
• Communicating the gospel and the love of Christ
• Glorifying God

The Foundation’s namesake is King Josiah whose actions are described in Jeremiah 22:16 “He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?” declares the LORD. This one verse includes both of The Josiah Foundation’s two central themes - helping those in poverty and knowing God.

Goals of The Josiah Foundation
• To help those who are living in deep poverty and who are without the most basic necessities of life.
• To communicate the gospel and the love of the Lord Jesus Christ to many so that they may come to know and love the    living God.
• To find and share evidences of a powerful, sovereign, and loving God who personally exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth.
• To glorify God and strengthen the faith of many people in the Lord Jesus Christ.


Methods of the Josiah Foundation
• Promote specific and practical means of meeting material and spiritual needs of those living in deep poverty.
• Provide “micro loans” as start-up capital to enable people to start their own businesses, become self sufficient, and to help others within their spheres of influence.
• Provide funding/supplies for:
      o Orphanages
      o Teachers
      o Medical treatment
• Emphasize personal development by helping people to develop into individuals who, after receiving help themselves, will in turn help others.
• Utilize various media (web site, newsletters, video documentaries, et al.) to publicize God’s mighty works in the lives of people around the world.


Statement of Faith
• The Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit and written without error in the original manuscripts. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.
• There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
• Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and voluntarily shed his blood on the cross as atonement for the sins of men.
• Jesus Christ rose from the dead and ascended bodily into heaven where He, the only mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession to the Father for His own.
• All men are sinners and in need of regeneration by the Holy Spirit. God bestows the free gift of eternal life to all who place their faith solely in the Lord Jesus Christ.
• All men will be resurrected; the wicked to everlasting torment in hell, and the saints to everlasting life in God’s presence.
