BEN was born in Cal­i­for­nia. He grew up in the Sil­i­con Val­ley area.  He received edu­ca­tion and was priv­eledged with great free­dom.  Nev­er­the­less, he was head­strong and defi­ant of the author­ity and oft in trans­gres­sion.  He strained to affect a respectable self-image, con­triv­ing a well regarded per­sona, but he related as one of the adver­saries, stiff-necked and rebel­lious.  He achieved mod­estly in the ways of the world but would not have retained God in his knowl­edge nei­ther would he glo­rify him as God, until one day he was sit­ting in his pickup truck and the spirit of God came upon him, and he con­fessed the name “Jesus Christ.” The spirit had done what Jesus said he would do. “He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” The word of God also tells us that “whoso­ever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.” Ben did not know the gospel, but over the next few days he read the accounts writ­ten in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Lord also opened his under­stand­ing so he could under­stand the words of Jesus, which the Lord said are spirit and life. Ben was dead in his trans­gres­sions, but he heard the words of the Lord speak­ing, “Amen, amen, I say unto you, The hour is com­ing, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.” Ben repented and makes this con­fes­sion, “Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. He was wounded for my trans­gres­sions. He bore my iniq­uity. He was cru­ci­fied. ‘And when they had ful­filled all that was writ­ten of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepul­chre. But God raised him from the dead.’ I will for­ever hold onto and trust in the words of Christ who said, ‘He that believeth on me, hath ever­last­ing life.’ I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the liv­ing God.”

MAI was born in Viet­nam. Her fam­ily moved to the area of Mon­treal, Canada when she was seven.  Mai was in Que­bec when she real­ized God was draw­ing her to him­self. When her mother became ill lead­ing to death, Mai became deeply inter­ested in spir­i­tual mat­ters. Her curios­ity led her down many paths and even­tu­ally to the place where she was found of Christ Jesus whose name she con­fessed. She sought the church and the Spirit led her to call a pas­tor who met her and expounded unto her the gospel by sound doc­trine. The pastor’s wife took care to dis­ci­ple her in Christ. She was born again by the will of God and her con­fes­sion is that Christ died for her sins and that his blood jus­ti­fies her. She has eter­nal life by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Mai left Que­bec and came to San Jose, Cal­i­for­nia where she con­tin­ued her dis­ci­ple­ship at a Chris­t­ian church. She mar­ried Ben in April of 2006 and now lives in the Car­son Val­ley of Nevada with her hus­band.  She gave birth to Mica­iah Maulis in Jan­u­ary and Mamre Maulis in Octo­ber of 2007.

MICAIAH and MAMRE were born in Nevada to Ben­jamin Karel Maulis and My Diep Maulis. Through Mica­iah and Mamre, the Lord has blessed us and given us a reward and a her­itage. He has made our vine fruit­ful and kept our olive plants from our enemy.

Our Covenant

For as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. _{John 1:12–13}

For ye are all the chil­dren of God by faith in Christ Jesus.� _{Gala­tians 3:26}

The Spirit itself beareth wit­ness with our spirit, that we are the chil­dren of God: And if chil­dren, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; _{Romans 8:16–17}

Jesus, “took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it unto them, say­ing, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remem­brance of me.  Like­wise also the cup after sup­per, say­ing, This cup is the new tes­ta­ment in my blood, which is shed for you.” (Luke 22:19–20)

For this is my blood of the new tes­ta­ment, which is shed for many for the remis­sion of sins.� _{Matthew 26:28}

Amen, amen, He was wounded for our trans­gres­sions, he was bruised for our iniq­ui­ties.  The Lord hath laid on him the iniq­uity of us all. (Isa­iah 53:5,6)  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto right­eous­ness. (2 Corinthi­ans 5:21, 1 Peter 2:24)

And when they had ful­filled all that was writ­ten of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepul­chre, but God raised him from the dead._{Acts 13:29–30}

Where­fore see­ing we also are com­passed about with so great a cloud of wit­nesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so eas­ily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Look­ing unto Jesus the author and fin­isher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despis­ing the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.  _{Hebrews 12:1–2}

By him all that believe are jus­ti­fied from all things (Acts 13:39), for God is the jus­ti­fier of him which believeth in Jesus. (Romans 3:26)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begot­ten Son, that whoso­ever believeth in him should not per­ish, but have ever­last­ing life. _{John 3:16}

Ver­ily, ver­ily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath ever­last­ing life, and shall not come into con­dem­na­tion; but is passed from death unto life. _{John 5:24}

Our Con­fes­sion

Jesus said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.”  We are not ashamed of Jesus and of his words for we know that the gospel is the power of God unto sal­va­tion.  There­fore we con­fess his name before men.

We believe there is one true and liv­ing God.  We are bap­tized in his name, which is the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

We believe it is appointed for man once to die and then the judg­ment.  Sin is trans­gres­sion of the law. God’s word teaches us that all have sinned. The pur­pose of the law is to stop every mouth so that all the world becomes guilty before God. God’s law is there­fore a school­mas­ter to bring us to Christ, because God is the jus­ti­fier of him that believes in Jesus.

We believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the liv­ing God.  We believe that Jesus Christ is the Word of God.  We believe that Jesus Christ is God. We believe and con­fess the Lord Jesus. We believe and con­fess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. He was wounded for our trans­gres­sions. He bore our iniq­uity. He was cru­ci­fied.  He died for our sins.  He who knew no sin, was made sin for us that we might be made the right­eous­ness of God in him.  “And when they had ful­filled all that was writ­ten of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepul­chre. But God raised him from the dead.” Jesus said, “He that believeth on me, hath ever­last­ing life.”  We are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone.

We believe in the per­son who is called the Holy Ghost, the Com­forter, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of God, and other names in the scrip­tures.  We believe that he is one with God, and that he is God, accord­ing to the scriptures.

We believe every word that Jesus and the prophets spoke about escha­to­log­i­cal events as recorded in the scrip­tures, and that these scrip­tures will be ful­filled exactly as declared by God. We believe that those who do not believe on the name of the Son of God do not have their name writ­ten in the Lamb’s Book of Life.  They shall face judg­ment, con­dem­na­tion, and be cast into the lake of fire which is the sec­ond death.

We are mem­bers of the body of Christ accord­ing to the scrip­tures.  We are sep­a­rate, and inde­pen­dent from every other per­son, group, body, cor­po­ra­tion, or orga­ni­za­tion.  In obe­di­ence to God, we sub­mit to the ordi­nances of man and to gov­ern­ing author­i­ties accord­ing to the scrip­tures.  In obe­di­ence to God, we sub­mit to other believ­ers and elders in the body of Christ, includ­ing the pas­tor of our local church.  We have fel­low­ship with the local church con­sis­tently and we main­tain a com­mit­ment to vol­un­teer and par­tic­i­pate in min­istry with the local church.  If you want to know more about the local church in our area, we wel­come your inquiry.
