A few words about KEAVIN HAYDEN

That same year he married the love of his life and best friend Lisa Booth, his wife now of 37 years.

Our MISSION

The purpose and goals of Hayden Family Ministries (HFM) are born out of the Passover meal Jesus enjoyed with His disciples the night prior to His crucifixion. It has become commonly know as The Last Supper. Hence, our mission is two-fold:

Outside the gospels, the apostle Paul provides us with the most detailed account of the event. To the church at Corinth he wrote, “For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.” For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.” (1 Corinthians 11:23-26; New Living Translation) The Bible teaches this New Covenant was the same promise God had previously given to His servant Abraham thousands of years earlier. For centuries God’s people had remembered this covenant by means of sacrificial animals, but now Jesus was prepared to eternally ratify it with His own blood.

After His resurrection Jesus commissioned His followers to “Go into all the world and preach the Good News (about the New Covenant) to everyone.” (Mark 16:15) Yet today, nearly 2,000 years later, many still do not understand this New Covenant, its meaning, nor its purpose. Through means of written and technical communication HFM is dedicated to helping people gain a better understanding of this important teaching that brings with it a knowledge of salvation available to all. The result of this is changed lives, helping lift people out of their hopeless situations in a sin filled world.

The trilogy of books being produced by author Keavin Hayden, Why Israel?, Why Christianity?, and Because It’s All About God’s Coming Kingdom!, have this purpose in mind. Forthcoming developments within the ministry are being designed to support this same goal.

Jesus instructed his disciples to re-enact this traditional supper with one another during His physical absence from this world, “until he comes again.” (1 Corinthians 11:26) It is intended to be a reminder of the guarantee of our personal salvation, and a directive to what He desires for us to be doing while we wait for His appearing. For at His future coming Jesus Himself told us something drastic is to take place. “But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’”

The desire to help those who are helpless is the fruit of the righteous! It is outward evidence of an internal change made to the human heart. The apostle John asked this most serious question. “If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?” (1 John 3:17) Moses instructed the Lord’s people Israel, “Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do.” (Deuteronomy 15:10) Proverbs 19:17 states, “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” Jesus told us “you will always have the poor among you.” (Mark 14:7) In other words, it is unrealistic to think the governments of this earth can adequately provide for the needs of the impoverished. This is what He gave us to do. And, this is what HFM is called to do. We take seriously God’s personal guarantee regarding this aspect of ministry. “If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always.” (Isaiah 58:10,11)
