We believe that the church\u00a0<em>began at Pentecost<\/em>\u00a0and I also believe that Scriptures states that it will continue until the\u00a0<em>Rapture<\/em>.

The next event on the prophetic timeline is the\u00a0<em>rapture<\/em>\u00a0of the church by Jesus Christ. Sometime thereafter is the\u00a0<em>Judgment Seat of Christ<\/em>\u00a0where believers\u2019 works while on earth are judged. When a treaty with Israel and the Antichrist is signed, thus commences the seven year\u00a0<em>tribulation<\/em>\u00a0of judgment upon the earth. At the end of the seven years, Christ will literally\u00a0<em>return for the second time<\/em>\u00a0to the earth and set up His\u00a0<em>Millennial\u00a0Kingdom<\/em>. Satan is bound during these years; however, some still rebel against the Lord. At the end of the 1,000 years, Satan is loosed and he leads a\u00a0<em>final uprising<\/em>\u00a0against God. Christ quickly defeats them all, casting Satan and his cohorts into the literal Lake of Fire. At the\u00a0<em>Great White Throne<\/em>, God judges the dead and casts all unbelievers into the Lake of Fire for eternity. A literal\u00a0<em>new heaven and earth<\/em>\u00a0are created where those who exercised saving faith in Christ will live forever with the Lord.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wsite-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wsite-content-title\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">THE DOCTRINE OF THE BIBLE<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">We believe that God has recorded His\u00a0<em>revelation<\/em>\u00a0accurately by\u00a0<em>inspiration<\/em>, giving assurance of the\u00a0<em>inerrancy<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>infallibility<\/em>\u00a0of Scriptures.

Angels are divided into two categories:\u00a0<em>elect<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>fallen<\/em>; some of these fallen angels are free and others are imprisoned. Angels are spirits, but they can become visible in human form. They are wise (II Samuel 14:20), powerful (II Kings 19:35; Psalm 103:20), and numerous (Psalm 68:17; Matt. 26:53; Heb. 12:22; Rev 5:11).

Prior to becoming a full-time missionary in Per\u00fa, the founder of MADEL, Giorgio Romani, had the opportunity to be a part of several mission trips to Spanish speaking countries. These trips not only put a burden in his heart, but also gave him some insight on how to reach out and how to better assist local ministries through short term mission trips. Instead of focusing the short term trips on a single ministry, he saw that with the help of education, theological preparation, and medical missions, the outreach could be extended to a broader group of people and churches.<\/p>\n<p>MADEL is in essence the response to a great need to reach the lost and to support the work of the local church.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-393\" src=\"http:\/\/madelinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/madel-history.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madelinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/madel-history.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/madelinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/madel-history-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madelinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/madel-history-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madelinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/madel-history-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madelinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/madel-history-1080x721.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/madelinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/madel-history-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section bb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221; module_id=&#8221;wedo&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.12.2&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;26px|0px|54px|0px|false|false&#8221; next_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;WHAT WE DO&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.12.2&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221;] WHAT WE DO Our goal is to be a helping hand and support to national pastors, local churches and institutions by providing education, theological studies and medical help.
