About Us
Our Vision
The Burning Hearts movement exists to see hearts set on fire for Jesus.
Our vision is to see open eyes and burning hearts across the globe as demonstrated in the experience of the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke Chapter 24.
Luke 24:31
And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him…
Luke 24:32
They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”
We work to awaken the World to see Jesus and to awaken the Church to first love fire.
Our Mission
To preach the gospel.
To ignite hearts.
To equip the Church.
To reach the Unreached.
Our Values
Scripture
We believe in preaching & teaching the scriptures with clarity and conviction so that eyes may be opened to see Jesus and hearts may burn with revelation.
Worship
We believe in the importance of worshipping and exalting Jesus above all so that He may be revealed & glorified. We believe that worship is not preparation for the greater work, it is the greater work.
Prayer
We believe in the power of prayer to bring about God’s will on the earth.
Presence
We believe in demonstrating and hosting the manifest presence of Jesus on earth so that He may be known and experienced through the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are not only available but necessary for effective ministry today.
Church
We believe in the centrality of the local and global Church in the mission of God on the earth. We are committed to the fellowship of the saints, the unity of the body & the fulfilment of the great commission through the local church across the globe.
Discipleship
We believe that Jesus has called His Church to the mission of going and making disciples of all nations. We are committed to raising and equipping christians in these contexts to spread the gospel and establish strong church communities.
Mission
We believe that every believer is called to live on mission, preaching the good news of the gospel to everyone everywhere. We are committed to advancing the Kingdom of God across the nations both locally and Globally.
