Mission Statement

In recognition that poverty ravages many areas of the world - victimizing families, children and the elderly, we dedicate ourselves to a ministry of relief and development to aid the poorest of the poor.

Wherever possible, our work is not to sustain the needy, but rather to break the cycle of poverty that plagues them. By providing educational opportunities and by focusing on community development, we strive to make impoverished individuals and villages self-supporting.

Through prayer, and in a spirit of obedience, we submit our work to God, seeking His inspiration and leading in everything we do.

In recognition that poverty ravages many areas of the world we dedicate ourselves to a ministry of relief and development to aid the poorest of the poor. Rather than create new institutions to distribute aid, we will first seek to help existing ministries and churches already serving the poor. In addition to being the most cost-effective way of helping the poor, empowering these ministries allows us to support the Church's spiritual mission and its important position of leadership in poor communities.
