We seek to provide Bible Distribution in Local Languages, Evangelicalism Program, and Bible Training
We do this because it is the command of Christ and the constant word of the prophets. In Matthew 25 Jesus welcomes into the kingdom of God those who fed the hungry and sheltered the homeless and condemns to punishment those who failed to. John says that the love of God does not abide in those who do not help the needy (1 John 3:16-18). James says that caring for the widow and orphan is the essence of true religion (James 1:27). Isaiah prophesies that the true fast desired by God is feeding the hungry and caring for the homeless (Isaiah 58:6-7). As John summarizes, "Anyone who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen." (1 John 4:20) We recognize that this obligation to help the poor applies not only to fellow Christians, to whom we have a special responsibility, but to all who are poor, even our enemies. (Luke 6:35)
2. We seek to help the poor in Jesus' name and for the glory of God.
In all that we do we seek to acknowledge and honor Jesus Christ, calling attention, not to ourselves, but to Jesus. We want to be explicit about our identity as a Christ-centered ministry whenever possible. We seek to obey Jesus' words, "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)
We are a U.S. based organization concerned about the welfare of the poor through-out the whole world.
