We, Mary and Hank Niewola, formed Come Alive Ministries in 1985 to preach His Word to His people in all the lands. We have shared God’s eternal truths in the USA, Latin and South America, the Caribbean, Europe and elsewhere. The focus of our efforts the past decade has been Africa, working with and assisting indigenous pastors and church leaders to help the Church Come Alive.

In fulfilling the commission, we have traveled in the USA, Latin America, the Caribbean, South America, and Europe. We rely upon the Holy Spirit to help God’s people Come Alive. We are enthusiastic about Jesus, the lover of our souls! Our passion is for people to know Jesus Christ intimately.

This mission is being accomplished through the teaching and preaching of God’s word, promoting Christianity in the USA and elsewhere, and may be in cooperation with other bodies of like faith and practice. The primary thrust of Come Alive Ministries is apostolic as follows:

- bring salvation to the lost

- pioneer new works through the efforts of local people

- train leaders and pastors

- strengthen the Christian family unit

- administering the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and training others in the operation of spiritual gifts

- provide practical teachings and Christian materials

In 1985 they formed Come Alive Ministries in response to the Lord’s directive that it was time to begin the work He had called them to do. What followed were many years of short-term missions in over a dozen countries and speaking in local churches throughout Eastern and Central United States.

In 1998 they began broadcasting to the world using shortwave radio, reaching over fifty-five countries with responses in the thousands. They are also continuing to work in local churches to help them come alive.

In 2005 they began travels to Africa for the purpose of strengthening local pastors and churches, to help them come alive in this day of the Lord's Power. You can read more about their current activities here.

- God in three persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

- The verbal inspiration of the whole Bible as God's infallible revelation to man.

- Jesus Christ's deity, virgin birth, sinless humanity, substitutionary death, atoning blood, bodily resurrection, and ascension to heaven.

- Salvation by faith in Jesus Christ alone, without works, and solely by grace.

- The need of works to express one’s gratitude, faith, and give a living demonstration of God's transforming power.

- The resurrection of the body; eternal glory for believers in heaven and everlasting punishment for unbelievers in hell.

- The one true church, the body of Christ, consisting of all believers, regardless of race or social standing.

- Obedience to our Lord's command to lead people of all nations to faith in Jesus Christ and to grow in Christlikeness.

- The need for spiritual growth through Bible study, prayer, witnessing, and involvement with other committed believers.

- The imminent rapture of the Church, and Christ's personal return to establish His kingdom on earth.

We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit was extended on the Day of Pentecost for the duration of the Church Age, and that the power of this experience remains God’s desire. We believe in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in the glorification of Jesus, in charismatic gifts, in the ministry gifts of Eph 4, and in His fruit produced in the lives of believers.
