About Us
Mission Statement
Under the authority of God and His word and in commitment to Jesus Christ and His church:
Legacy of Truth is committed to confirming and defending the gospel of Truth. This will be achieved by training individuals to be spiritually and intellectually prepared to respond to the ideas and philosophies that pervade the various social systems in the world today. These individuals will be entrusted to pass on God’s Truth to future generations.
Ministry Philosophy
God has entrusted us with a unique ministry and sometimes we describe what we do by saying, “we are not a platform ministry.” You have seen this phrase in previous reports. Many have asked what we mean by that, so allow me to explain.
There are many apologetic ministries and many capable apologists who offer their services in the form of speaking engagements or seminars. They usually follow up their meetings by offering resource materials in the form of books, CDs, DVDs, etc. These kinds of ministries are needed and help Christians understand why faith in Christ makes sense. However, that is where most of these ministries end, “on the platform.” They come, they speak, and they leave—this is what we call “platform ministries.”
God has not called us to be a “platform ministry.” In fact, we only take speaking engagements where there is a desire to move beyond the platform and into a study mode for equipping. We have a “no-fee” policy and we do not sell our books or other resources on location. We make a long-term commitment to train others in a way that they will be able to “pass on the truth.” (2 Timothy 2:2).

Mission & Philosophy
Legacy of Truth Ministries is not the standard "platform ministry." Learn about our unique approach to apologetics.
Parachurch Ministry
Training Christians to witness to their friends and colleagues in a principle-based and culturally relevant manner.
What is Apologetics?
Defending the Christian faith, is not only a Biblical position but also an effective means for communicating the gospel.
The battlefield for spiritual and cultural warfare lies in the hearts and minds of today's young people ... tomorrow's leaders. Because of this, Christians should recognize the classroom as ground zero in the secular world's charge to eliminate all references to God from public policy.
Legacy of Truth Ministries (LTM), using academically respected First Principles, is already preparing the next generation of Christians to defend the faith and uphold godly values.
Our Ministry Distinctives
Principle-Centered Teaching
We shift the focus of learning from “what to know” to “how to know”—from “what to think” to “how to think.” We teach students to go beyond fact gathering, to learning how to think through facts (reflective process) by applying principles of truth to the issues being discussed.
Academic Tutoring
We listen and determine exactly where a student is struggling to grasp concepts and underlying principles of specific academic disciplines. The necessary resources and guidance is given to help that student know “how to think” through an issue, instead of “what to think” about that issue.
One-On-One Mentoring
Our mentoring process includes long-term commitment to investing time in young people, helping them work through doubts about their faith. We invest time and energy helping in mentees navigate life’s journey - providing advice, resources, encouragement, emotional support, and role modeling.
Personalized Ministry
While several Apologetics ministries engage with their audiences through public speaking discourses, LTM uses personalized strategies to equip people, with long-term commitments to individuals through class-room academic tutoring and one-on-one mentoring relationships.
