Commitment to Jesus Christ
As servants of Jesus, we submit to the authority of his Word, and to his example in all that we do. We strive for spiritual growth, and we pursue integrity in all that we do.
Dependence on God
We acknowledge our personal weakness and our reliance on God. We seek his Spirit’s direction and power through lives of holiness and prayer.
Compassion for People
We endeavor to demonstrate Jesus’ love however we can for example, through friendship, training, nurturing, helping people address their suffering, and bringing hope and healing through physical and spiritual help.
Vibrant Partnerships
We serve others... with others. We value ministry partners, whether missionaries, home staff, national believers, supporting churches and individuals or others. We are determined to bring integrity, respect and value to partnerships that lift up Jesus and his Church, not individuals or organizations.
Effective Ministry
We desire to be effective coworkers with God and each other. That prompts us to plan strategically, to evaluate what we do and how we do it, to invest resources wisely, and to embrace changes that enhance our effectiveness. We resolve to act with the highest standards of excellence and integrity and embrace our accountability to God, to each other and to our ministry partners.
Global Focus
God values every person in the world and he is accomplishing his global plan. Therefore, we are compelled to reach beyond our personal and organization’s local horizons of ministry to participate in God’s worldwide cause, wherever he might lead.
