Mission

  • To help desirers of God better connect with Him by shining a light on His revelation of Himself in His Word.
  • To highlight perspectives, resources and tools that will be helpful in taking informed, generous, and effective action in making a lasting difference for the world's poorest people.
  • To this end, you will find nothing for sale on this site, nor any advertising or social media connections.

 

 Guiding Principles:
  • The Bible, together with the Holy Spirit's work in our lives, is the complete and final authority on all aspects of knowing God
  • The scriptural mandate for helping the poor applies to each of us, and to our churches
  • Assistance without the Word is futile, and the Word without assistance is inauthentic
  • There is practical wisdom in the adage “volunteer locally, give internationally”
  • Giving effectively is key not just to responsible stewardship, but to giving joyfully
  • Being saved is just the beginning of our story:  Each of us are built, and blessed, to be a blessing.....
