>> OUR HISTORY
The Founder Zeral Brown, founder of TIME Ministries, was born in 1921 in the little town of Clarkston, Washington. Zeral attended a Bible School where he met his future wife, Dorretta Brown, whom he married in 1943. Missionaries to the Domincan Republic for some time, God led them to bring their first short term missions group to Mexico in 1968. Since then, thousands more have taken this journey. The Story TIME Ministries originated in 1968 when a group of young people from the US spent a week during their Christmas vacation in the village of Pueblo Nuevo, just outside of Monterrey in Mexico. At that point, the ministry was called Teenage Institute of Missionary Evangelism. However, because so many of the participants in subsequent years were adults the name was changed to The Institute of Missionary Evangelism and is now known simply as TIME Ministries. After much growth, the base was moved into the urban environment of the intercity of Monterrey during the 80's. In 1991 a site was opened in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic. From 1995 to 2001 we took groups to the western Mexico city of Heramoseo. In 2005 we started a base in Alemaco, Mexico that moved in 2007 into the near by town of Queretaro. In 2006 we started a site in the largely hispanic area of east Dallas, TX.
We believe the Bible to be the verbally inspired, only infallible, authoritative Word of God, inerrant in its original writings.
We believe that there is only one God, Creator of heaven an earth, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the absolute deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through the shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the Father, and in His personal and imminent return in power and glory.
We believe that man, created by a direct act of God and in His image, fell into a sinful state. All men thus have a sinful nature and absolutely need regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation from a lost state to eternal life with God. This salvation is wholly of grace, solely through personal faith in the work of Christ on the cross, faith in Him alone.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of everlasting punnishment.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ as they are in His Church.
