Our Principles

We recognize the inherent dignity of all mankind, as the Lord has commanded us,

"Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." Proverbs 31:89

We do not discriminate in who we help, as the Apostle Paul said,

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28

We have a commitment of 100% transparency in our operations, finances, and decision-making processes, as it is written

"The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them." Proverbs 11:3

We know that we will be held to account for all of our actions, not only to man, but to the Lord,

"Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God." Romans 3:19

We hold ourselves to the perfect standards of our Lord because it is only through that which righteousness may abound.

"The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity." Proverbs 11:3

We know that people need more than just a one-time hand out, that is why we are dedicated to creating and growing sustainable communities for those who escape bondage.

"The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty." Proverbs 21:5

We know this is not a one-man or one organization job. What we seek to do requires a communal effort to effect systematic change in the world, and it requires us to work diligently with others.

"Though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him - a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12

We seek to work with people and cultures from every clime and place, and that requires a great deal of awareness and respect for others' cultures.

"And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, 'you are not My people.' There they shall be called sons of the living God." Romans 9:26

Wherever humans go, we have an impact. Part of our work on this Earth is stewarding the planet our Heavenly Father left us, so when we build and establish communities, we will make sure to do so in a manner which does not harm the land, as it is written,

"You shall not pollute the land in which you live, for blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it." Numbers 35:33

It is unfortunate, but true, that in many places around the world, particularly in those places where help is needed the most, violence, war, and corruption are all common. We go to great lengths to protect our beneficiaries, volunteers, staff, and communities. 

“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe." Luke 11:21
