Our Principles
Every need of this ministry will be obtained through prayer.
We may share our missionary vision with others and even make known to them the specific tasks which the Lord has laid on our heart to do, but we may not raise support through prodding or manipulating our brothers and sisters in Christ. If this ministry is of the Lord, then He will supply our needs. If He is with us, He will direct His people to give and we will prosper. If He is not with us, we will not and should not succeed.
We intend to never enlarge our field of labour by contracting debts.
This is contrary to both the letter and the spirit of the New Testament. In secret prayer, God helping us, we will carry the needs of this ministry to the Lord and act according to the direction that He gives.
We will not compete with other biblical mission agencies,
but will use the resources that God has given to us to work in partnership with them. If the Lord directs, we will sacrifice our own goals and resources that other mission works may be helped and the Kingdom of God increased.
The staff that is employed full-time in this ministry is worthy of their labour.
They should be afforded that which is required to live with dignity and to demonstrate that the Lord is gracious to supply the needs of His servants. To neglect their welfare would give excuse for the ungodly to bring unjust accusations against the Lord that He is either uncaring or unable to meet the needs of His servants. Those whom this ministry supports shall not be given so much as to waste the Lord’s resources, acquire luxury, or live above those who so graciously give to the Lord’s work. To seek wealth and luxury in the ministry is to deny the call.
We will not measure the success of this ministry by the amount of money given,
Bibles distributed, or national missionaries supported, but by the Lord’s blessing on the work.
Our Goal is not to enlarge ourselves,
or to become a key figure in the Great Commission, but to be faithful and obedient stewards by the grace that is given to us. Our only vision is the crucified, risen, and exalted Christ.
