Hello Everyone!
My name is Yamuragiye
Cyprien and I am the founder of ChristMyOnlyhope.com. I was born in Rwanda, but
I am now a citizen of the United States residing in Texas.
I have lived my entire
life as a disabled person, having been born with severely crippled limbs and
then losing one of my legs during the Rwandan genocide. However, most
importantly, I am a child of the one true living God who, in the aftermath of
that same genocide, saved me through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
In my life, I have
traveled across 4 continents and 12 countries preaching the Gospel and bearing witness to
God’s glory for what He has done in my life. I am currently studying at
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, in Fort Worth, TX.
Through this website, I
hope to keep in touch with the people I have met through my journeys and to
comfort those who experience similar trials to mine. My greatest hope, though,
is that those who read this website will
come to experience the new life that Jesus Christ offers through His life,
death, and resurrection. If you have questions about who Jesus Christ is, or
any other
questions, please contact me through the link on the website!
God bless you in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ the true Messiah of Israel.
Who We Are
We are evangelical born-again
Christians who believe that Christ is the only hope for salvation. We believe
that the best way to bless any individual with or without a disability is with
Christ the eternal son of God.
The Bible
We believe that God
divinely inspired men to write the Scriptures in the Holy Bible. Therefore, the
Bible is God’s revelation of Himself to mankind, a perfect treasure of divine
instruction. We hold only the 66 books
in the canon as the inspired word of God, revering the original text of the Holy
Bible in its original languages as God-breathed and inerrant. The one true God is
its author, salvation is its purpose, and everything it says is true without
any mixture of error.
Nature
of God
There is one,
and only one, living and true God. The eternal God reveals Himself to us as
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without
division of nature, essence, or being. God is Triune in nature; he is not three
gods. He created the universe out of nothing and is omnipotent and omnipresent.
He is eternal, changeless, holy, loving, good and perfect in every way.
God
the Father
God as Father reigns with providential care over His Universe, His creatures,
and human history according to the purposes of His grace. Often the title ”God”
designates the first person, God the Father. To those who become children of
God through faith in Jesus Christ, God is truly Father.
God the Son
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus of Nazareth,
He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He honored the
divine law by His personal obedience, and in His death on the cross, He made
provision for the redemption of men from sin.
Jesus Christ is God, the
second person of the Trinity. As God the Son, he has always existed and was
never created. He is fully God and fully man, the two natures joined, not
mixed. As the second person of the Trinity, he is coequal with God the Father
and the Holy Spirit. In becoming man, he was begotten through the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father,
salvation, and eternal life. He died on a cross, according to God’s plan, as
the full sacrifice and payment for our sins. He rose from the dead on the third
day, spiritually and physically immortal. For the next 40 days, He was seen by
more than 500 eye-witnesses. His wounds were touched and he ate meals. He
physically ascended to heaven. Jesus Christ will come again physically at the
end of the world to establish God’s kingdom and judge the world.
God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. He exalts Christ. He convicts us of sin, strengthens
us toward righteousness, and warns us of judgment. He enlightens and empowers
the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service. The Holy
Spirit is God, the third person of Trinity. The Holy Spirit is a person, not a
force or energy field. He comforts, grieves, reproves, convicts, guides,
teaches, and fills Christians. He is not the Father, nor is he the Son, Jesus
Christ.
Man
God created people in his image by a special act as the crowning work of His
creation. By free choice, man sinned against God and brought sin into the human
race and therefore every man and woman is in need of a Savior. We know people
are sacred because God created them in His own image and because Christ died
for them; therefore, every man and woman possesses dignity and is worthy of
respect and Christian love.
Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole person, and God offers it freely
to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood
obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense, salvation
includes regeneration, sanctification, and glorification.
Salvation is by God’s
grace, not by an individual’s good works. Salvation must be received by faith.
People must believe in their hearts that Jesus Christ died for their sins and
physically rose again, which is the assurance of forgiveness and resurrection
of the body. This is God’s loving plan to forgive sinful people.
Election is the gracious
purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, sanctifies, and glorifies
sinners. All true believers endure to the end. Those whom God has accepted in
Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit will never fall away from the state of
grace, but shall persevere the end.
We believe that true
believers in Jesus Christ go to be with him. After death, all people await the
final judgment. Both saved and lost people will be resurrected. Those who are
saved will live forever with Jesus Christ in heaven. Those who are lost will
suffer the torment of eternal separation from God in the lake of fire. Jesus’
bodily resurrection guarantees believers that God will resurrect them as well and
give them new immortal bodies.
We believe in corporate
worship, usually through local churches, baptism through immersion and the Lord’s
Supper(Communion). We strive to serve our Lord and Savior through active,
voluntary missionary efforts, through aiding those in need: the poor, widows,
orphans, and downtrodden, and through sharing His good news, which we call the
Gospel. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Jewish Messiah promised to Israel
in the Old Testament (Torah, Prophets and Writings). Jesus said his followers would be known by their
true love for one another and we endeavor to glorify Him in this manner.
Mission Statement
Christ My Only Hope is
non-profit Christian organization carrying the Gospel of Jesus Christ to as
many people across all tribes, tongues and nations with a focused ministry
effort to serve those with disabilities.
Out of our desire to
share the good news of salvation to everyone we meet from everywhere in the
world, we are currently growing ministry projects in the U.S.A. and Rwanda. Our
main goals are to win souls and draw different people from across all nations
to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Christ My Only Hope is a Christian
organization and we desire to see all of mankind receiving salvation by and
through faith in Christ alone. We hope to see the outcast and downtrodden
coming to know Christ, who is the one and only hope. We share the gospel of
Jesus Christ to all people of all religious groups, so that they may come to
accept and believe in humanity’s only savior, Jesus Christ, the incarnate
eternal son of God the father.
Vision Statement
The vision of Christ My only Hope is to enrich
lives by sharing the love of Jesus Christ, and preaching the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, to advance God’s Kingdom here on earth.
We desire to give biblical encouragement to as
many people as possible, with a focal ministry towards those who are in need. This
is why we endeavor do everything we can in order to share Christ crucify and
resurrected. Our vision is very big, but
we know that God we serve is greater than everything. He has no beginning and
no end, He is the only one true God in three persons Father, son and Holy
Spirit.
We must preach His word and truth; reaching
the world while we are here on this earth and striving to win more souls into kingdom
of God. We have a mission to expand the Kingdom of the God of Israel through
Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Everything we do is
without fee. Salvation is a free gift from God the Father to us and we believe He
makes it available to everyone.
