Principles

We are Christ-centred, holistic and relational. We want all our activities to be of the highest quality. According we are constantly open to learning. Other core principles are expressed in the acronym REAP:-

Respect. We value all our beneficiaries and supporters as people made and loved by God. We value our fellowship with them and our participation as servants together in the work of God. We do not deceive or exploit beneficiaries or supporters.
Enabling. Our aim is always to promote the spiritual and physical well-being of our beneficiaries and supporters. We seek to enrich the quality of life of all, and build the capacity of all for God’ service.

Evangelist, Liberia

Accountability. We aim for the highest standards of integrity and transparency in all our dealings. We aim to be fellow-workers with our beneficiaries and supporters and not to control them, or make them dependent on us.
Partnership. We believe that Christ’s Great Commission was given to all His Church jointly, and that the contribution of all the Church is needed to complete the task. We believe that this task calls us to join our God-given gifts and abilities to share in this common pursuit.

We give priority to the poor, the vulnerable and the marginalised; to women, children, the disabled and the outcast.

We give priority to places where Christians are persecuted and, or where sharing Christ is prohibited or restricted.

We seek the support of all who identify with our objectives, whether they have much to give or little, and we highly value all of our supporters.

We want the help we give to communities around the world to represent the joint compassionate response of the Christian and wider community in the UK and elsewhere.
