Mission and Objective Statement

“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

Luke 21:34-36 (NIV)

MISSION ONE — PROCLAIM ETERNAL SECURITY

To promote the full and due worship of God, and a complete trust and reliance upon his Son, Jesus Christ. … upon nothing else, not financial systems, gold or any earthly security.

Supporting Perspective

Societies are being lured into a deep-seated and pervasive idolatry — a belief framework — that stakes its faith in the ability of human economic and monetary systems to provide security and peace for mankind.  As such, we live in an increasingly materialistic age where society is being entrusted to the supposedly benevolent forces of self-interest and the “love of money.”  Christians — much of the church — have fallen prey to the false doctrines of this new “market” perspective.

The Mulberry Ministry

We seek to uncover and explain the fraudulent and deceptive claims behind present-day, popular beliefs concerning financial and economic systems.  In so doing, we hope Christians will be exhorted to return their full worship and affections to God; to rely upon Him and not the deceptive promises of a controlling, materialistic world system which ultimately will be judged and destroyed.

Our Biblical Perspective

The Bible forewarns that, “Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.  Your silver and gold are corroded […] You have hoarded wealth in the last days” (James 5:2-4).  World monetary systems will ultimately fail.  Our only enduring hope is full dependence on God, not upon gold or the “arms of man.”

MISSION TWO — PROVIDE CHRISTIAN WORLD PERSPECTIVES

To alert Christians to insidious developing trends within global monetary and economic systems; to promote an awareness of their impact upon faith and freedom; to help guide Christians’ responses to the approaching challenges and threats.

Supporting Perspective

Over the past two centuries, the world has witnessed the rapid rise of a systematic, material order that is gaining increasing influence over human activities.  It is a development of the endtime.  Economic and financial systems, the key expressions of this encroaching order, have gained ground at an extremely rapid pace over the past few decades … capturing the affections of much of mankind.  Many of these developments, though they will deeply impact and test the lives of Christians, are stealth-like and receive little public analysis.

The Mulberry Ministry

We research and monitor global  trends, exposing idolatrous belief systems.

Our Biblical Perspective

The Bible speaks of a day when no one will be able to “buy nor sell” (Revelations 13:17) without participating in the prevailing system of that time.  A deception so great is to sweep the world that “if it were possible, even the very elect might be deceived” (Matthew 24:24).  The processes leading to these final conditions are well underway.

MISSION THREE — PROMOTE PRACTICAL & BIBLICAL STEWARDSHIP

To promote godly stewardship.

Supporting Perspective

Stewardship principles taught today are increasingly skewed by desires for gain and financial return.  We observe that the practices and advice of many Christian financial service providers have become undistinguishable from the secular mainstream.  Stewardship advice often reflects an uncritical acceptance of the prevailing worldly, materialistic perspective.

The Mulberry Ministry

To promote godly stewardship and to provide practical direction to help Christians live “separate and apart” (II Corinthians 6:17) from the influences of an emerging global humanistic consensus.

Our Biblical Perspective

We seek to illustrate the truth that “contentment with Godliness is great gain” (I Timothy 6:6) and to promote the pursuit of the prize of “a harvest of righteousness” (Hebrews 12:11) … peace and contentment.

The Bible informs us that advisors will “come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.”  (Matthew 7:15)  Seeing Christians as vulnerable and gullible targets of any investment prospect that may however vaguely be associated with Christianity or the Bible, these individuals think “that Godliness is a means to financial gain” (I Timothy 6:5).

Our Logo

Our logo symbolizes our cause, to promote Christ in an age of financial and economic worldliness … an age of lost, cold faith.  It is an age where self-interest and greed has been elevated to primacy.

The symbol for Mulberry’s ministry is a rose in a mulberry bush.  The mulberry has been a staple of industry and trade for thousands of years in many cultures — in the production of silk, wood, medicine and fruit.  Even today, China employs the mulberry tree as the logo for its department of commerce.  The rose shown in the midst of the tree represents Christ — the rose of Sharon.

Our Practical Objectives for All Christians

ุ      To proclaim the soon-coming return of Jesus Christ.

ุ      To implore Christians to turn from Mammon worship and to return to a pure hope upon Jesus Christ before … it is too late.

ุ      To urge to redeem the time, while the opportunity still avails, to merit treasures in heaven.

ุ      To come out of the last-day “global” Babylon … and to be free from the oppression of endtime money snares.
