VISION
Restoring the dignity of those living in marginalized communities.
MISSION
To realize enduring life change and redeemed relationships among the poor through Christ-centered holistic development initiatives, supporting employment, education and prevention of violence.
CORE VALUES
DIGNITY
We affirm the inherent worth of every individual (and their talents and potential) as God’s beloved creation. We strive to avoid paternalism, which creates a dependence on others that takes away dignity, and instead focus on collaborating in life-giving ways to identify sustainable solutions.
RELATIONSHIP
We invest in authentic relationships as a catalyst for genuine and lasting life change, recognizing that superficial connections with the poor will only result in manipulation. Showing genuine love for others and a desire to truly know and be known by them is the most powerful way to communicate the gospel.
DISCIPLING
We model and teach a life of obedience to Christ, understanding that He is the only Way to abundant life, and seeking to fulfill the great commission of making disciples.
HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT
We address the spiritual, physical, emotional and social needs of the whole person to help them overcome all types of roadblocks and develop to their full potential.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We invite today’s recipients to become tomorrow’s givers, by identifying, encouraging, and training servant leaders who will re-invest in their own community.
LONG-TERM VIEW
We focus on sustainable change over the long-term, knowing that some efforts may take many years to produce fruit. We resist the temptation to make quick fixes to get rapid "results."
EXCELLENCE
We strive to glorify the Lord by giving Him our very best efforts, working with passion, dedication, and perseverance.
