Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries was established in 1991 by Mike Gendron to serve and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ by equipping and encouraging Christians to proclaim the Gospel clearly, faithfully and effectively. The ministry also exposes the fatal errors of Roman Catholicism and apostate Christianity, along with other faith movements such as the emerging church, purpose driven church and the church growth movement. We also proclaim the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ and exhort believers to contend earnestly for the faith until that glorious day.

As a Roman Catholic for over 30 years, I was taught from the Catechism that salvation was by faith plus baptism, the sacraments, good works, law keeping, the sacrifice of the Mass, indulgences, purgatory and penance. According to God's infallible word, this is another gospel that deceives Catholics with a false hope. Only when Catholics trust the Lord Jesus Christ as their all-sufficient savior will they know they are saved completely and forever!

Mike Gendron

As Director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry, Mike works through local churches equipping the saints to effectively and faithfully communicate the Gospel of grace. He has taught the students and faculty at The Master’s Seminary, Dallas Theological Seminary, Moody Bible and Tyndale Theological Seminary. Mike is the author of Preparing Catholics for Eternity and Roman Catholicism: Scripture vs. Tradition, along with other resources that make the Gospel clear to those who are trapped in religious deception. Since graduating from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1991, Mike has conducted short-term missions trips and taught in hundreds of churches throughout the world.

The Purpose Of Proclaiming The Gospel Ministries

1. To urge Roman Catholics to renounce their faith in anything that opposes or nullifies the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
2. To persuade Roman Catholics to personally place their complete trust in Jesus Christ, His word, His grace, His redemption, His perfect sacrifice, His substitutionary atonement, and His finished work, so they can be saved from the power and penalty of sin and become children of God.
3. To expose the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church that oppose or nullify the true Gospel, so people can know truth from error and not be deceived.
4. To awaken Christians and evangelical churches to the reality that Catholics who adhere to the official dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church need to hear the gospel and repent from their dead works. (Hebrews 6:1)

The Methods We Use

Proclaiming The Gospel ministers to people in several ways, including:

1. Books, tapes, tracts and videos developed specifically for evangelizing Roman Catholics.
   Group studies in homes or churches that proclaim the Gospel and expose the unscriptural teachings of Roman Catholicism
2. Teaching seminars for Christians who want to become involved in evangelizing Roman Catholics.
3. A bi-monthly newsletter with articles of interest, ideas for witnessing to Catholics, testimonies, current events, theological and doctrinal contrasts, etc.
4. Discipleship for former Catholics who, after leaving the Catholic Church, may experience feelings of guilt, doubt or family rejection.

The Ministries Organization

We are an independent, evangelical mission working in and through local churches to spread the Gospel to the 60 million Roman Catholics in America and the 900,000,000 world-wide. We are supported by donations from individual Christians and churches. All donations go directly to fulfilling the vision and purposes of the ministry.

Proclaiming The Gospel Ministries Doctrinal Statement

THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. We believe the holy Scriptures are the inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, eternal, infallible and God breathed.

TOTAL DEPRAVITY OF PEOPLE. We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God. Now all people are totally depraved and, of themselves, utterly unable to remedy their lost condition.

SALVATION THROUGH JESUS ALONE. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful man. A new life implanted by the Holy Spirit through the Word, is absolutely essential to salvation. Our redemption is accomplished solely by the blood of our Savior, who was made to be sin for us, dying in our place, and paying the complete penalty for all our sins. No sincere efforts to be good, no submission to rules and regulations of any church, no human merit of any kind, no sacraments, no indulgences or purifying fire can take the place of or be added to the finished work of Christ on Calvary.

SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE. We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by God's grace and received by personal faith alone in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Once saved, all the redeemed are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever.
