Foundational Principles

God has pressed upon us the need to do things His way in this ministry with a reminder that many Christian groups we may look to are not setting the right examples; namely, they are not operating according to Christian principles, but those of the world. Examples include a lack of integrity in (1) taking credit for other's ideas and (2) deceiving the public by exaggerating success stories or creating exaggerated crises in newsletters and messages to prompt folks to donate to them. We feel God wants us to set forth in writing a few "Foundational Principles" we promise to adhere to in this ministry to maintain integrity.

• Integrity is an absolute essential principle for this ministry! As such:
  • we will seek to not take credit for the work of others;
  • any promotional materials, testimonies, or any other statements or publications that tend to exaggerate our successes or otherwise deceive the public is strictly prohibited.
• We shall be faithful stewards of the gifts and resources God gives us and we will honor Him in them by committing ourselves to excellence in all we do, regardless of whether we receive payment, recognition or appreciation. Our thanks will come from God in due time if we seek first to serve Him.
• 3We will view the public as special to God and seek ways to serve and minister to them, rather than seeking ways to exploit them to buy our resources or give us donations. While that doesn't mean we won't have resources to sell, it will be done in such a manner that honors God and gives the public the best resource possible. God will always be the one we look to as the true source of resources.
• Volunteers and staff of this ministry will not be viewed for what they can do for us, but as special to God and thus worthy of treating with dignity and compassion; always giving them thanks and credit for the work they do, and seeking to find ways to allow them to flourish in the gifts that God has given them. We commit to not using people as a means to an end.

We seek not to worry about numbers, money, or the things the world is concerned with. Instead we desire to steadfastly and persistently "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness."

"... thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations, and thou shalt be called, the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in."   -- Isaiah 58:12
