Welcome to:
Faith Fortress Ministries
Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress., and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
James 1:27
Welcome to Faith Fortress Ministries. We at Faith Fortress are committed to spreading the good news of Jesus Christ and sharing his love with the world. Faith Fortress began in 2018 as a Christian Apologetics training ministry but since then the Lord has taken FFM in exciting and unexpected directions. In 2021 we had the amazing opportunity to start an orphanage among the Naga tribes of Northeast India. We now have 9 precious children under our roof and because of them we are blessed beyond measure. In mid 2023 we began to engage with a small group of widows who have been ostracized by their community because their husbands died from HIV and the widows now have the disease. Our ministry among these neglected and forgotten young ladies is blooming under God's direction. Having now undertaken ministry to widows and orphans, we are once again turning our efforts toward cultural apologetics.
While our current social media fueled world tends to reward the loudest voices, the timeless truths of Scripture still provide the answer as to how the world came to be and why things are the they are. In addition, because all truth is God’s truth, science, history, archaeology, and philosophy also point to the existence of the one true God.
PURE AND UNDEFILED RELIGION IN THE SIGHT OF OUR GOD AND FATHER IS THIS: TO VISIT ORPHANS AND WIDOWS IN THERE DISTRESS, AND TO KEEP ONESELF UNSTAINED BY THE WORLD. JAMES 1:27
As we minister to widows and orphans and educate believers on the threats posed by our current culture, we feel that we are being faithful to the teachings of James 1:27. We invite you to join us on this exciting faith journey.
Announcement: The next Faithfortress Board Meeting will be held at 6 pm on May 2d, 2024. To attend by Zoom contact Eddie Vines at 205-586-0222 for a link.
Faith Fortress Starts Ministry to Widows with HIV.
The Board of Faith Fortress has been blessed with the opportunity to minister to Naga widows who struggle with HIV. The Indian state of Manipur, where we do ministry borders the Nation of Myanmar (formerly Burma). Because Myanmar produces a large percentage of the world's opium, many young Nagas have access to very potent formulations of heroin. Many of the young men in the region become addicted to these drugs, share needles, contract HIV, and then pass the disease on to their future wives and sometimes their children....
Get to know the Nagas
The Naga People of Northeast India are a living display of the transformational power of the gospel. Before being visited by missionaries in the late 1800's the Naga Tribes were steeped in a culture of violence and death where collecting the heads of enemy warriors was believed to bring one power and strength. Today, numbering in the millions, the Nagas maintain a strong witness for Christ in their part of the world. Land-locked on all sides by Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and the atheist government of China, they now demonstrate the courage they once employed in battle as they persist in living out their faith. Faith Fortress is linking arms with the Naga people to encourage, train, and equip their passionate young people to reach the world around them with the good news of Jesus Christ.
