LOVE: We are compelled by love. Love keeps us from operating out of duty. Love compels us to action even when it is inconvenient and keeps us persevering even when the person we are assisting is difficult. Love for God and love for others is at the root of all we do. Love calls us to honor all those we encounter and serve, recognizing that they are created in the image of God.

HUMILITY: We value humility that seeks to put others above self and recognizes that God created each person uniquely. Humility is valued in working cross-culturally, affirming the beauty of each culture and their role as stakeholders and influencers. Humility recognizes that development of a nation does not mean superiority and seeks to hear the voices of and gain input from stakeholders in less developed nations. We value humility that serves each other and those we encounter in order to point them to God. Our identity is in Christ and not in our own abilities, status, nationality, or position.

COURAGE: We value courage that is willing to take risks necessary to rescue and intervene. Our courage comes from our confidence in God and faith that God can turn any situation around for good as we trust Him.

RELATIONSHIP: We value relationship building as key to opening doors for rescue, intervention, and restoration. We value relationships in the community to assist in bringing holistic transformation. We recognize that healing comes best in community. As an organization, we cannot work in isolation; but we value strategic relationships, partnerships, and networks.

INNOVATION: We value creativity and “out-of-the-box” thinking. We value new ideas and continuous adaptation to find solutions, which will better serve our clients and community. We value the arts and the role that they serve in bringing healing.

INTEGRITY: We value ethical practices and honest transparency. We believe in consistency in word, belief, and actions. We honor those in leadership and the laws that govern in the organization, our communities, cities, and nations.

EXCELLENCE: We value excellence in all that we do, believing that God gives us the best; and we represent God in all we do. We believe that excellence also dignifies those with whom we work and gives glory to God.

HOLISTIC RESTORATION: We value holistic restoration, recognizing that the issues are complex and that true transformation and healing come with concern and attention to the whole person, their family, and their community. Holistic restoration addresses the spiritual, emotional, physical, economic, social, and familial needs. We value holistic ministry that addresses the complexities through prevention, intervention, and restoration.
