POSITION LETTER
Regarding the Unauthorized Use of Heartbeat International Missions in a Political Manifesto
To Whom It May Concern,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
This letter serves as the official position of Heartbeat International Missions regarding the recent unauthorized inclusion and use of our ministry’s name in a manifesto of support for the Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines.
Heartbeat International Missions hereby formally declares that:
1. We did not authorize, approve, endorse, or consent to the use of our organization’s name, logo, identity, or representation in any political manifesto, statement, campaign material, or public endorsement related to any political candidate or public official.
2. Heartbeat International Missions is a Gospel-centered ministry whose primary mission is the propagation of the Gospel, strengthening of local churches, training of Christian workers, and advancement of missionary endeavors. As such, we maintain our institutional neutrality in partisan political matters unless officially and expressly declared by the leadership of the organization.
3. The unauthorized use of our ministry’s name constitutes misrepresentation and creates false impressions regarding our organizational stance, thereby potentially damaging our testimony, credibility, and relationships with churches, supporters, missionaries, and ministry partners.
Therefore, we respectfully but firmly request:
* The immediate removal of Heartbeat International Missions from all related manifestos, publications, online posts, printed materials, or promotional content connected to said political support statement.
* A public clarification from the responsible parties acknowledging that Heartbeat International Missions did not authorize nor participate in such endorsement.
Heartbeat International Missions believes in praying for those in authority, as commanded in Scripture (1 Timothy 2:1–2), and in encouraging biblical citizenship among believers. However, we remain committed to preserving the integrity, neutrality, and testimony of this ministry in matters of partisan political endorsement unless expressly determined by our leadership.
We trust this matter will be addressed promptly and honorably.
Respectfully submitted,
Dr. Ramil Q. Ofrecio
Director for ASIAN REGION
