The Name
RHEMA is a Greek word meaning "word from God". "And take the helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17). God has given us a "word" for this ministry. Incidentally, R.H.E.M.A. also stands for Ron Herrod Evangelism Ministries Association.
A World Vision
The vision of R.H.E.M.A. is to devote four months each year to overseas crusades and to provide full support for national pastors and evangelists.
Policies
R.H.E.M.A. is supported solely by free will love offerings from churches and individuals. The annual budget provides for personnel, maintaining an office, travel and support of overseas personnel in various parts of the world, now including 10 nations.
Integrity and Accountability
R.H.E.M.A. is incorporated in the state of Tennessee and federally tax exempt under 501(C). A complete financial audit is conducted annually and under the supervision of a Board comprised of Godly men and women. Dr. Herrod is also accountable to his pastor and each pastor he works with. For 52 years of Christian ministry, Dr. Herrod has established an impeccable record of integrity and trust. R.H.E.M.A. believes this is of utmost importance.

Investment
Your financial investment enables R.H.E.M.A. to set aside three months of every year for ministry overseas on the mission field.

Training national pastors through the RHEMA Institute is a current urgent need for funding. A pastor can be trained for a gift of $1,000. His support for a year varies in different nations but the average is $2400.

DOCTRINAL FOUNDATION FOR THIS MINISTRY
God is Trinity - Father,Son, and Holy Spirit - creator of heaven and earth and all living creatures.
Jesus Christ is God, born of a virgin, died voluntarily as a substitutionary sacrifice for sin, rose bodily from the grave, ascended to the Father, and will come again to rapture His church.
Salvation and eternal life is provided by Christ's shed blood and salvation is free to all who repent of sin and and receive Christ by faith.
A born again believer cannot lose his salvation. The Bible teaches eternal security of the believer who is preserved by the Savour's grace.
The Bible (Old and New Testaments) was verbally inspired by God and is both inerrant and infallible.
The church consists only of those who are born again and baptized by the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ at the time of regeneration. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church.The church in its local expression is responsible to carry out the Great Commission to share the Gospel with the whole world and disciple believers.
Prayer is the great weapon of the believers and the church in conquering and doing battle with Satan.
Satan is real, the great deceiver of the world and is now active as the prince of this age.
The return of Jesus Christ is imminent. It will be visible and bodily. Believers will be raised at the rapture, given new bodies, and be rewarded at the Judgement Seat of Christ.
The saved will be raised to everlasting life and blessedness in Heaven, and the unsaved will be raised to everlasting and conscious punishment in Hell.
