Thank you for visiting our website today!  The purpose of this page is to introduce you to our ministry and our hope is that you will find words of encouragement to help you in your walk with God.  Burning Truth Ministries was established in 2005 by Hans and Teresa Zandstra in an effort to obey the call of God to preach the gospel.  Burning Truth Ministries is a member of the Independent Assemblies and operates under their 501c status. Our purpose is to preach and teach the gospel to the people of Africa, so that they may experience a freedom from hopelessness and despair that is only found in Christ Jesus.  The ministry has many facets but I believe there are 3 main objectives.
