 Values

Demonstrating God’s Love and Compassion

Sharing the transforming message of God’s love is foundational to their work and is a guiding principle for all activities. They remain impartial and non-discriminant in the delivery of aid, but they desire that communities will hear about God’s love.

Long­‐term Commitment

Their projects are not about quick wins, but rather about long-term successes. They want to ensure that the benefits of their work last over time and allow local communities to develop their own unique economies in a sustainable manner, without becoming dependent.

Empowering the Local Church

They intentionally promote the local church as a key partner and allow it to be seen as the centre for community development. Word and deed is intentionally integrated into all they do.

Developing Indigenous Ownership

They value the idea of locals helping locals. Their humanitarian work benefits the local economy and avoids being colonial.

Promoting Sustainable Development

They constantly research and employ the best practices in their programs to ensure success over time and provide long-lasting benefits. Their desire is that their intervention would serve as a catalyst for communities to flourish. They strive to avoid dependency on them or aid in general.
