About Logos Ministries International (LMI)

LMI was set up in Belfast in 1977 by Thomas and Yvonne McClean, a young couple who had a burden for world mission and a desire to see other young adults become enthused about the Great Commission. Since then the organisation has grown from its humble beginnings as a missionary meeting in Thomas and Yvonne’s living room in East Belfast.  

The aim of our work is to serve the Church. While the hub of the organisation is our mission office in Ladas Drive, Belfast, LMI’s reach is truly global. With coordinators in ten countries, distance-learning students from thirteen nations, a youth and schools ministry reaching thousands of young people and the work of mission-mobilisation still at the forefront of what we do, LMI has developed by the grace of God and the generosity of His people.  

We do not receive any government funding, but we rely on donations from churches, individuals and trusts to fund all aspects of our work. 

As an organisation we are members of Global Connections and its Northern Ireland branch, Mission Agencies Partnership.

LMI’s Statement of Faith

We believe in:

  • The Divine Inspiration and entire trustworthiness of Holy Scripture, and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
  • The unity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
  • The incarnation, the sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
  • The universal sinfulness and guilt of all men since the “Fall”.
  • Redemption from sin and its consequences solely through the sacrificial death of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • The salvation of the sinner by the grace of God alone, through repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ.
  • The necessity and agency of the Holy Spirit in the conversion of sinners, the sanctification of believers and the ministry of the Church.
  • The obligation on Christians to live their lives in accordance with Scripture.
  • The priesthood of all believers, implying that the ministry within the body of Christ is not limited to certain individuals but is the responsibility and privilege of all believers.
  • The personal return of Jesus Christ in Glory.
