The Values

We stand for...

A Biblical Foundation

As a ministry we are firmly committed to the reality revealed in Ephesians 4:11-13: “And He (Christ) personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness.” (HCSB)

Personal Relationships

We strive to put into practice our calling by searching for, listening to, working alongside of, encouraging and equipping fellow Latino leaders in their ministries. While study materials are helpful, there is no replacement for personal conversations, time in prayer together, and tears shed forehead to forehead while striving to be faithful with all that the Lord has entrusted His faithful.

Cross-Cultural Collaboration

As part of God’s global church we celebrate that we can collaborate across continents while making a focused effort to mobilize the Latin American church to fulfill this vision under their own power and with their own finances wherever possible.

Local Leadership

We’re building our network of Latin American leaders so that missionaries from the United States who chose to participate are viewed as guests and collaborators, not benefactors or authorities.

Local Resources

Just as the Corinthians understood their culture and context better than we do today, so the disciples in Latin America understand their culture and context better than any visitor. We support the development of contextualized training materials by church leaders for church leaders in their same contex.

Financial Transparency

Annual reports are key to showing the progress and effectiveness of each donation. As the Board of Advisors oversees each field missionary, so our donors oversee the board through our annual reports.
