| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 4 | ADDENDUM TO BYLAWS - APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS: UPDATED STATEMENT OF FAITH AND UPDATED STATEMENT ON BIBLICAL SEXULITY. AFRICA 180, INC. (DBA: I REACH AFRICA) STATEMENT OF FAITH WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD WHO IS THE ETERNAL KING, CREATOR, AND REDEEMER OF ALL THAT IS. HE IS PERFECTLY HOLY, JUST, LOVING, AND TRUTHFUL. HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO BE ETERNALLY SELF-EXISTENT - ONE BEING IN THREE PERSONS: GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS THE INSPIRED AND ONLY INFALLIBLE AND AUTHORITATIVE WORD OF GOD. WE BELIEVE THAT HUMANKIND WAS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD TO KNOW AND ENJOY HIM, YET WE WILLFULLY REJECTED THE LORDSHIP AND GLORY OF GOD FOR WHICH WE WERE INTENDED. BECAUSE OF THIS, SICKNESS, DEATH, AND JUDGMENT ENTERED THE WORLD AND NOW CREATION EXPERIENCES THE EFFECTS AND CONSEQUENCES OF SIN. WE BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE ONE AND ONLY SON OF GOD, WAS CONCEIVED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, AND IS GOD'S ANOINTED ONE, EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO INAUGURATE GOD'S KINGDOM ON EARTH. HE WAS CRUCIFIED FOR OUR SINS, DIED, WAS BURIED, RESURRECTED, AND ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN, AND IS NOW ALIVE TODAY IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD THE FATHER AND IN HIS PEOPLE. HE IS "TRUE GOD- AND "TRUE MAN." WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE, THROUGH FAITH IN THE PERSON AND WORK OF JESUS CHRIST. ANYONE CAN BE RESTORED TO FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH REPENTING, BELIEVING, AND RECEIVING JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND LORD. THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTS, REGENERATES, JUSTIFIES, SANCTIFIES, AND ADOPTS US AS WE ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD AS HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS. WE BELIEVE IN THE ONGOING, SANCTIFYING POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BY WHOSE INDWELLING THE CHRISTIAN IS ENABLED TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE AND MINISTER SUPER-NATURALLY. THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, ACCORDING TO ACTS 1:4-8 AND 2:4, IS POURED OUT ON BELIEVERS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE GOD'S POWER TO BE HIS WITNESSES. WE BELIEVE IN THE VICTORIOUS, REDEMPTIVE WORK OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS PROVIDES FREEDOM FROM THE POWER OF THE ENEMY - SIN, LIES, SICKNESS, AND TORMENT. WE BELIEVE THAT THE CHURCH CONSISTS OF ALL WHO PUT THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. HE GAVE HIS CHURCH THE ORDINANCES OF BAPTISM AND COMMUNION. THE CHURCH EXISTS TO CARRY ON THE MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST AND FURTHER ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM BY UNDOING THE WORKS OF THE ENEMY, PREACHING AND LIVING THE GOOD NEWS OF GOD'S LOVE, AND DISCIPLING THE NATIONS - BAPTIZING AND TEACHING THEM TO LOVE AND OBEY GOD. WE BELIEVE IN THE EVER-INCREASING GOVERNMENT OF GOD AND IN THE BLESSED HOPE, WHICH IS THE GLORIOUS, VISIBLE RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO RULE AND REIGN WITH HIS OVERCOMING BRIDE - THE CHURCH. WE BELIEVE THAT HEAVEN AND HELL ARE REAL PLACES. THERE WILL BE A RESURRECTION OF THE LOST AND THE SAVED, THE ONE TO EVERLASTING DEATH AND THE OTHER TO EVERLASTING LIFE. AFRICA 180'S STATEMENT ON BIBLICAL SEXUALITY FOR THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ, WE WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF GOD AND OUR LOVE EXPRESSED IN HONOR, COMPASSION, RESPECT, AND SAFETY. WE DEEPLY REGRET THAT THROUGHOUT HISTORY, BOTH SECULAR SOCIETY AND THE CHURCH AT LARGE HAVE OFTEN PARTICIPATED IN, BEEN SILENT ABOUT SIGNIFICANT INJUSTICES AGAINST THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ. IN ANY AREA WHERE OUR CHRISTIAN PREDECESSORS, HAVE PARTICIPATED IN SUCH BEHAVIOR OR FAILED TO SPEAK UP ON BEHALF OF YOUR SAFETY, DIGNITY, AND JUSTICE, WE ASK FOR FORGIVENESS-AND SEEK TO BE A BETTER EXAMPLE OF GOD'S LOVE. YOU ARE BELOVED BY THE LORD. THE PAIN, TRAUMA, AND INJUSTICES YOU'VE EXPERIENCED MATTER TO HIM AND TO US. IN BOTH OUR PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS AND PUBLIC DISCOURSE, WE WANT TO EXPRESS THE LOVINGKINDNESS THAT GOD HAS FOR ALL PEOPLE. THOUGH WE MAY AT TIMES DISAGREE ON WHAT IS BEST FOR INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETY, AND ARE OFTEN AT ODDS OVER PIECES OF LEGISLATION, YOU REMAIN IMPORTANT TO US. OUR DESIRE IS TO REMAIN FAITHFUL TO OUR CONVICTIONS AND STILL FIND COMMON GROUND. SCRIPTURE CONTAINS THE MEANING OF LIFE THE BIBLE IS AN IDENTITY BOOK. IT TELLS US WHO GOD IS, WHO WE ARE, AND WHAT OUR PURPOSE IS. WE BELIEVE THAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE IS A GOOD AND LOVING FATHER WHO WANTS THE VERY BEST FOR HUMANITY-AND HE IS THAT BEST. AS HIS SONS AND DAUGHTERS, WE ARE CREATED TO LIVE IN A DEEPLY SATISFYING AND LOVING CONNECTION WITH GOD AND OTHERS. AT THE BEGINNING, HUMANITY REBELLED AGAINST HIM AND BECAME BOTH VICTIMS AND PERPETRATORS OF SIN; NO ONE WAS SAFE FROM EACH OTHER AND WE COULDN'T STOP THE ONGOING DESTRUCTION OF OUR REBELLION. BUT GOD HAD A PLAN TO HEAL CREATION THROUGH HIS SELF-GIVING LOVE. "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT TO SAVE THE WORLD THROUGH HIM," (JOHN 3:16-17). WE HAVE BEEN SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE, WHICH IS HIS UNEARNED LOVE FOR US AND POWER TO TRANSFORM US. AS WE PUT OUR TRUST IN JESUS, WE DIE TO SELF AND BECOME ALIVE IN CHRIST (ROM. 6:4). BELIEVERS ARE A NEW CREATION (2 COR. 5:17) -A NEW PERSON WITH A NEW IDENTITY, ON A JOURNEY OF BECOMING MORE AND MORE LIKE HIM (2 COR. 3:18). BY DEFINITION, A CHRISTIAN IS SOMEONE WHO IS NO BETTER, OR DESERVING THAN ANYONE ELSE, WHO HAS BEEN RESCUED FROM SIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES BY BEING WASHED (CLEANSED FROM SIN AND SHAME), SANCTIFIED (SET APART FROM SIN AND SHAME AND TO THE LORD), AND JUSTIFIED (DECLARED RIGHTEOUS BY GOD)-ALL THROUGH CHRIST'S DEATH AND RESURRECTION AND THE POWER AND PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING WITHIN US (1 COR. 6:9-11). KNOWING AND BEING KNOWN BY GOD IN CHRIST IS THE MEANING OF LIFE. WE BELIEVE THAT MALE AND FEMALE ARE FUNDAMENTAL AND ESSENTIAL DISTINCTIONS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING GOD HAS BEEN SOCIALIZING HUMANITY, TEACHING US WHO WE ARE, WHAT OUR ROLE IS, AND HOW TO BE JUST AND GOOD LIKE HIM. WHEN HE CREATED THE ANCIENT SOCIETY OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE, HE GAVE THEM ESSENTIAL MORAL OBLIGATIONS CONCERNING HOW TO TREAT HIM AND EACH OTHER-A FOUNDATION THAT WOULD TEACH THEM TO PROTECT AND THEREBY EMPOWER ONE ANOTHER TO THRIVE. JESUS INTERPRETED AND CLARIFIED THE TEACHINGS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND HIS INSTRUCTION WENT BEYOND OUR ACTIONS TO THE VERY POSTURE OF OUR HEARTS. HE TAUGHT US HOW TO LOVE GOD, OURSELVES, OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR BODIES, AND EVEN OUR ENEMIES. WE SEEK TO GROUND OUR STANDARDS AND VIEW OF HUMANITY AND SEXUALITY IN THE NATURE OF GOD, THE TEACHING, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS, AND THE CLARITY OF SCRIPTURE. GOD, WHO ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE IS NOT A SEXUAL BEING, REVEALED THAT HE INTENTIONALLY CREATED HUMANITY "IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD HE CREATED HIM; MALE AND FEMALE HE CREATED THEM" (GEN. 1:27 NIV). THE DIFFERENT, YET NECESSARY AND COMPLEMENTARY NATURES OF MASCULINITY AND FEMININITY WERE NECESSARY TO REVEAL SOMETHING ABOUT THE NATURE OF GOD. THE EGALITARIAN, NON-HIERARCHICAL, COMMUNAL NECESSITY OF THE OTHER BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATES THE REALITY OF GOD AS ONE COMPLEX BEING-SON, FATHER, AND HOLY SPIRIT. THOUGH MEN'S AND WOMEN'S BODIES ARE HIGHLY SIMILAR IN THEIR VARIOUS BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS (LIKE NERVOUS, CIRCULATORY, DIGESTIVE, ETC.), MEN AND WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT. EVERY NUCLEATED CELL-TRILLIONS OF THEM IN A HUMAN BODY-CONTAINS EITHER A MALE OR FEMALE SEX CHROMOSOME SET. AMAZINGLY, EVERY SYSTEM OF THE MALE AND FEMALE BODY FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY AND EFFECTIVELY INDEPENDENT OF THE OTHER-EXCEPT OUR REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS. A MAN AND A WOMAN ARE ESSENTIAL IN ORDER TO HAVE CHILDREN. OUR "GENDER"-DERIVED FROM THE ROOT "GEN,- LIKE THE WORDS GENERATE, PROGENY, AND GENITALS-POINTS TO OUR PROCREATIVE ORGANS. MALE AND FEMALE BODIES HAVE BEEN CREATED IN SUCH A WAY THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS DEPEND UPON HOW OUR BODIES COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER. WE THEREFORE DO NOT LOOK TO OUR DESIRES, ATTRACTIONS, EXPERIENCES, OR INNER WORLD TO FIND IDENTITY AS MALE OR FEMALE AS A STARTING POINT; WE LOOK AT BIOLOGY. ONE MAY NOT LIKE THE STARTING POINT, OR MAY WISH IT WAS DIFFERENT, BUT OUR CHROMOSOMAL REALITY AND ANATOMY AT BIRTH-WHICH ARE NOT MERELY ASSIGNED, BUT OBSERVED AND SCIENTIFICALLY PROVABLE-ARE DEFINING. AS AN EXAMPLE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF INTERSEX ANOMALIES (DISORDERS OF SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT), ONE'S INBORN BIOLOGY IS THE PLACE EVERY PROPOSED REASSIGNMENT SURGERY BEGINS AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE DESIRED RESULT. NO MATTER HOW MANY DEFINITIONS ARE ADDED TO HUMAN IDENTITY, THEY ARE ALL VARIANTS, RESPONSES, OR REACTIONS TO THE TWO SEXES. TO ARTICULATE REALITY IN OTHER WAYS DOES NOT CHANGE THIS FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH. SUBJECTIVE VIEWPOINTS ON GENDER FRACTURE OUR ABILITY TO CONNECT AND COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND DISTORT HOW WE SOCIALIZE OUR CHILDREN. WE BELIEVE THAT GOD KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE CREATED OUR SEXUALITY AND CALLED IT GOOD. WE SEEK TO LIVE IN FULL AGREEMENT WITH HIS ORIGINAL DESIGN WHILE ADVOCATING FOR RESPECTFUL AND EXCELLENT MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTHCARE AS APPROPRIATE FOR THE VERY SMALL FRACTION OF PEOPLE BORN WITH DISORDERS OF SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT AND THEIR PARENTS.
