Statement of Faith:

Hello [Osiyo] my Brother's and Sister's in Christ and My Brother's and Sister's

who Honorably Served in the Military, Law Enforcement & Fire Fighting & Rescue:

[Fellow Mountain - Wilderness Adventurer's]

My name is [Russell "Little-Hawk" Oliver]; I am the Founder of Stepping Stones and Mountain Tones Ministries.  It is a Non-Profit - Non-Denominational Outreach Ministry for Christian Men and Women, especially targeting Veterans, who love to get out and hike, and enjoy the outdoor Mountain Wilderness and Trail Adventures.    

I am located in the Denver, Colorado Metro Area:

It was founded on the Truths Taught by Jesus Christ, in God's Holy Living and Written Word. 

I believe that God  [Jehovah], is One Divine Being in Three Distinct Persons: (God the Father) - (God the Son) - (God the Holy Spirit).  Salvation and Eternal Security - I believe that mankind was made in the Image of God and that He alone is the Creator of the Universe and all that is in it.  I believe that salvation is available only through  the redemptive Death - Blood

and Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son (Human), conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of     the virgin Mary.

I believe that the Bible is the Inspired - Living and Written Word of God.  That it is Totally Infallible and Inherently True! 

I believe that God's Written Word (the Bible) , is God's Voice to man, instructing him in the ways of Righteousness. 

I believe that the answers to all of man's questions can be and are found in God's Word.  I believe that the life of Jesus Christ will bloom in fruitful works in the life of a True Believer and True Christ Follower.  I believe that God expects believer's to live a life of Obedient Surrender to Him and the Teachings of Jesus.  I believe that has a Perfect Plan and a Divine Will for the life of every believer, and that His Will is Revealed to the believer in His Word.  I believe that the life of a Truly Born-Again Christian will manifest the fruit of the Spirit.  And that we are called to come along side other men and women help them to develop and strengthen their Relationship with God and to be accountable to one another to live out our faith before our families, in our careers, in our communities, in our cities and before the world.   

• Everyone has a different perspective on faith.

• Faith is not about what we claim to believe, but faith is what we truly believe in.

• Faith means believing in something true for both a religious and non-religious person.

• A struggle becomes much easier when the person has faith in themselves, because of their faith in Jesus Christ.

Mission & Purpose:

Proverbs 27:17; "As Iron Sharpens Iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend."

This proverb highlights the role of brothers and sisters in Christ - in sharpening, encouraging, and edifying one another. 

Through mutual encouragement, accountability, and support; True Christ Followers, help each other Grow in Christian Faith     and the Character of Christ.

This is what I feel that my calling is as a Christian Man.  To walk along side other Christian Men to Encourage and Pray for them as they seek daily to become a "Man After God's Own Heart."  By God's grace and blessing, I am a dad, a grandfather,      and uncle, and and Author-Writer.  But I am not an Ordained Pastor, just a man chasing after God Daily, seeking to live as a 'True Man After God's Own Heart'.

I truly believe and stand on the concept of "Iron Sharpening Iron" implies that there are two pieces of iron rubbing against each other.  Just as two or more men gathering together and being accountable to one another and being there for one another no matter what, praying, studying scripture and being vulnerable in their life as Christ Followers, to be pressed together in the Love of Christ, to sharpen the faith and character of others, so is the rubbing of two pieces of iron together make them sharper   and more usable.

I believe that it would be impossible for a tool to become sharper without the presence of something else to help sharpen it.  Just as it impossible for any man to become sharper in his faith without another being present to encourage and edify him in his faith and character.   This simple Proverb (Proverb 27:17) illustrates an important biblical principle.  God expects us to live in a community of other believers, and He desires for us to build loving and growing relationships with other Christ Follower's.
