Strategy & Guiding Values
Strategy —
To develop and disseminate Christian values based on relationship-driven programs to believers in Lebanon and Syrian refugees and the rest of the Middle East.
Guiding Values —
Jesus Always
- Live a life that honors God.
- Bathe life with prayer and the word of God.
- Let the LORD lead and share the gospel with all people.
Accountability
- We are committed to wise stewardship as lives are transformed in the Middle East by the grace of God.
- Every penny donated is a sacred trust — we operate with total transparency and the highest standard of accountability.
- We are independently audited with external accreditation to help to assure our donors and others we use funds to the honor of God (II Corinthians 8:21).
People First
- All people are created in His image and is loved by God.
- People come before any structure, systems, ministries, or money.
Dignity & Respect
- All people are treated with dignity and respect regardless of ethnic background, literacy level, or socio-economic level.
- The people that we serve, our staff, donors, boards and volunteers. We celebrate the uniqueness of every person, culture, and contribution.
Compassion
- Our aim is to demonstrate Jesus eyes that were filled with compassion to others and met each person unique needs differently.
- Together we are on a mission to share the peace of God, through reconciliation, and heal the broken hearted in a lost world.
Cooperation
- We, as a Christian mission organization, seek partnership with like minded people.
- We look for partnership that transcends structural, legal, and cultural boundaries.
- We accept obligations of joint participation, mutual accountability, shared goals that a true partnership requires.
- We affirm our independence and our understanding that, at times, we may need to yield autonomy for the good of the people we serve.
- We are partners with donors who have the same vision of helping poor, uneducated people.
- We are willing to hear other perspectives and consider honest opinions about our work.
Responsiveness
- We take the extra step in faith when a crisis happens in the Middle East (such as the port explosion in Beirut in 2020).
- We respond when economic crises and social deprivation take place, such as in Lebanon, Syria, and other Middle East countries.
- We maintain a commitment to help the helpless and share the Good News.
- As we see unusual opportunities to serve people, we encourage the spirit of creativity and flexibility.
- We believe in self-reflection as an organization, which keeps us learning about our own organization as well as people and donors.
Multiply
- Our aim to replicate the work we do in Lebanon in Syria and other Middle Eastern countries, training people and commissioning them to expand the kingdom of Jesus (Ephesians 6:7).
- Many of our new converts have expressed the desire to go back to their hometown and start a church, which we know pleases God and makes us so excited.
