HERRING MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL
Our Statement Of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative Word of God. Holy men of God
wrote under the guidance, influence and inspiration of the Holy Spirit
We believe that there is one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son & Holy
Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in
His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His future
personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is
enabled to live a Godly life and is empowered to do the “greater works” that Jesus said
we would do.
We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who
in faith ask for it.
We believe in a final judgment at the end of the age when all the dead shall be resurrected
to stand before Him; for those that are saved - the resurrection to life and the rewards
of the righteous, the blessings of living eternally in the presence of God. For those
that are lost - the resurrection of the wicked to damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, and will do all to work toward a greater expression of that unity.

History Of Herring Ministries International
Herring Ministries International is a non-denominational outreach ministry that embraces the nations of the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ; according to the New Testament doctrine being the Old Testament revealed. It is a nonprofit incorporated ministry through the State Of Texas founded under the leading of the Holy Spirit through the servant of Evangelist Samuel Herring on October 28, 1994.(charter no. 0132030-01) It is directed by Evangelist Samuel Herring of the United States and his wife Evangelist Sibongile Herring, a native of South Africa, along with their Board Of Directors and Team Members.
Herring Ministries was first born in 1994 as Sam Herring Ministries, Inc. when Samuel was led by God to go to Zambia in Africa to attend a conference there. Upon his return to the United States the Holy Spirit spoke to Samuel to establish an overseas ministry to reach out to the nations of the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. By faith he sold his car, and gave away most of his possessions and purchased a one way ticket to Swaziland where he began ministry and met his future wife Sibongile (Sithole) Her ministry name was Christ the King Ministries. Sam and Sibongile immediately set out two days after the wedding traveling on difficult roads to villages preaching and teaching the gospel. Many times without funds but trusting the voice of God by faith to lead and supply. The name Herring Ministries International was born in a spiritual marriage also of their founded ministries.
In 1997 they began pastoring two village churches in the Lomahasha and Simunye areas of Swaziland. Many souls were saved and baptized in lakes and churches established. In 2001 the Holy Spirit spoke to both of them again to move the ministry base to Johannesburg, South Africa where they traveled to Southern African countries, the U.K. and the United States for five more years. In 2006 the Lord led them to move back to the United States settling in the bible belt of Dallas, Texas to establish a stable base to finance Herring Ministries International on a larger scale with the same vision; to preach and bless the nations of the whole world.
The vision continues on as they trust God to lead them each step of the way. Their 12 years in Africa supplied them with a strong spiritual platform to see the needs of which the Lord desires for them to fill through Herring Ministries International
This budget package is set up to give you an over view of the proposed areas of ministry they desire to fulfill. In a world that seems darker each year drawing closer to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, Sam expresses the deep desire of his heart:
”We just want to leave behind a brighter light in a dark world as we pass through, a light shining through the souls of the Kingdom of God.”

GOD’S VISION
Lomahasha Believers Fellowship-
“MISSION TRAINING CENTER”
Lomahasha is an area of the northern boarder of Swaziland that leads into Mozambique, about 55 miles
South of the capital city of Maputo. Sam and Sibongile pastored and developed Lomahasha Believers
Fellowship Church for three years in the 90’s.
Strategy-The strategy of developing Lomahasha area relates to first of all because Lomahasha is the
headquarters for witchcraft Satanism, and former war path of guns transported from Swaziland into Mozambique territory. This has left a tremendous spiritual stronghold that needs to be broken and spiritually redeveloped through the word of God.
We still feel the burden after several return visits to Swaziland that the work must grow in order for
The seed of the Word, already planted will not die but grow and impact nations.
During the civil war years in Mozambique this area was destroyed and left with an air of hopelessness.
It is also in a strategic area that could impact the spiritual nature of two countries from the heart of Swazi witchcraft to the capital city of Mozambique also near the Indian ocean where many villages
Are in serious need of sound Christian teaching in order to bring forth spiritual fruits for church
Planting. Many souls have been converted from witchcraft, but along with the church there we see the need to develop the area into a missions school to train short term missions. This work would be continued during Sam and Sibongile’s time of absence there by church leaders who
Are waiting for instructions and leadership in this particular project.
Budget:
Training Material:
Bibles (local language-Zulu)………..start off with 100 bibles…………………………………….$400.00
Training material; etc………………………………………………………………………………..$700.00
Total: $1,100.00
Ratanda; South Africa-”FEED THE CHILDREN Project”
Feed the Children is a project that was inspired in Sam and Sibongile’s hearts
Upon their invitation to conduct a funeral service of one of the teachers murdered
near Ratanda Elementary School outside of Heidelberg, South Africa. Such crime
Leaves many single mothers to raise children alone with only humble earnings
That cannot feed the children of that area enough. Many children come to this school
Hungry, and in their winter also cold and without socks. Teachers there have given out
of their small salaries to help many of them. But the need continues growing out of
Control . Aids is also an epidemic among the parents and children. The photo below is
Of Sam and Sibongile lighting the candle of hope at the International Aids Day Service.
This came shortly after Sam delivered a powerful message of the God given duty of man not to ignore the needs of others but embrace the world because what effects others indirectly will effect us. A candle was lit by Sam in memory of those who were victims of Aids in hope of a brighter tomorrow. (budget on following page)
(Sam and Sibongile‘s words)Dear Friends, a life is what matters to God and his hands of compassion are felt though your hands and ours that are out stretched to help. Your sponsorship can go with us overseas to make a difference.
“Feed The Children Budget”
Soup……(.50 cent per child-250 children)….(250x.50c=$125.00-per week)-$500.00 per month.
Bread…..(40 cent per child...250 children)…(250x 40c=$100.00-per week)-$400.00 per month.
Peanut Butter…(250 children)………………………………………………..-$200.00 per month.
Beans ……………………………………………………………………………$200.00 per month.
$1,300.00 per month.
Uniforms:
School Uniforms…..(determined amount of children and size)………$17.00-$20.00 per child.
(shoes and socks included)
Sweaters………….(determined amount of children and size)………..$20.00-$25.00 per child.
Total Average Amount: $45.00 per child.
OUTREACH MINISTRY-The outreach ministry of Herring Ministries International is probably the heart beat of all the ministry projects. It goes out into the fields of harvest to bring in souls for Jesus Christ and to serve as a witness to the saving and healing power of God to change lives. This is also the first step in the ministry reaching out to a certain region to establish churches and bless the people through the impacting spiritual power of the word of God to transform lives, neighborhoods, villages, towns, and countries. But in order to accomplish this task it takes a team both from the U.S. soil and local area of the meetings with the cooperation of pastors, churches, and the community leaders. Follow up of new Christians is essential for growth as we seek to work with establishing churches there as well as leading souls to already established churches in the community that believe according to Christian doctrine. Cost for these meetings will vary, depending upon the conditions of the area whether the use of a stadium, building, tent, or open air meetings. Music will be provided by the local churches. Below is a budget plan for the outreach ministry.
Countries Listed For 2008: South Africa; Swaziland; Mozambique
Budget Per Outreach Trip (Estimated Cost Per Trip)
Air Travel………………………………………………………………..(2 adults;1 child)……. $5,500.00
Advertisement……………………………………………………………………………………….$300.00
Transport Gas on land……………………………………………………………………………...$250.00
Decision Cards and other paper materials………………………………………………………...$100.00
Tent………………………………………………………………………………Not Needed At This Time
Other Miscellaneous Needs…………………………………………………………………………$400.00
Total: $6,550.00
Along with the Outreach meetings in these Southern African countries; one area that really touches the heart of Sam and Sibongile are the squatter camps of Soweto and surrounding areas. Many missionaries are afraid to go within the local areas of Soweto to reach the masses. About 80% percent of all South African crime is committed in the squatter camps where poverty is at its height. Many of these squatter camps are due to the tribal wars where millions of innocent people suffered when their homes where destroyed through fires, many killed and the fury of poverty still exist. Sibongiles grandmother was one of those who lost their homes in the attacks. So The Herring’s are also anxious to reach some areas that they were not able to reach before.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR………
Dear Partner,
Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ. You know, I would like to ask what do you delight in. The Webster’s dictionary defines Delight as happiness and may refer to someone or something that brings such a state of excitement, such as good-tasting food. When I think of the word delight, I think of something that brings me so much excitement that I can not help but think about it all the time. A good example would be a delightful ice cream Sunday with chocolate syrup, nuts and a bright red cherry on top. Am I making you hungry? Well, when you think of that Sunday or see a photo of it, you automatically began to desire it and though you have not yet tasted it with your mouth, your mind is almost fooled into believing you already have.
I believe that is the way we should feel about Jesus Christ and what delights Him. SOULS. When he looks at souls, he sees himself whether they are saved or not. He sees what his Father intended for them to be.
When I first sat in a worship service in 1994 upon my first missionary trip to Africa God did something to my heart, a second operation on it since my first one as a newly converted Christian in April of 1963.I felt in that worship a hunger and a thirst to labor in His fields.
It's like someone took their hand and reached into my gut and did an operation. You feel that yearning down deep in side.
"Whatever God calls you to do, no matter how difficult it seems or impossible or hard, he gives you a burden, a good burden, a desire to do that work.
It is with tremendous delight that I share with you mine and Sibongile’s vision revealed to us from the very heart of God. And may you come to delight, hunger and thirst after righteousness, because the word promises that you will indeed be filled.
