Core Values
We Honor Christ in All We Do
Our ministry is for His Name and His Glory. We are motivated by the love of God revealed in the Gospel.
We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19
We Focus on RELATIONSHIP
The children we serve are not statistics. We will care for each child as if they were our own child.
God sets the example for us as Father to the fatherless.
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling. Psalm 68:5a
We INVEST for the Long Road
We serve to change the trajectory of each child. Our service will focus on the long-term impact of every child we serve.
God’s heart is for both present and future generations—and so is ours.
He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, so the next generation might know them— even the children not yet born—and they in turn will teach their own children. So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting His glorious miracles and obeying His commands. Psalm 78: 5b-7 NLT
We Believe in Servant LEADERSHIP
We lead best when we serve most. We will always ask, "How would Christ want us to respond?"
Christ is our role model for servant leadership.
Don’t be jealous or proud but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. Care about them as much as you care about yourselves and think the same way that Christ Jesus thought. Philippians 2:3-5 CEV
FAMILY is our Priority
We are all created for family. We will keep family a priority, and do all we can to be family for the children we serve.
Our Orphan Outreach family around the world will serve the Lord.
But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15b
We SERVE with Excellence
We are called to excellence in Christ. Good enough is not good enough. We will always ask, "What can we do to make the work of Orphan Outreach better? How might we move from good to great in all we do?"
We will work for the Lord in all we do.
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Colossians 3:23 NIV
We Grow Best TOGETHER
We are created for community, and we thrive when we learn and grow together. We will maintain the posture of students. We will never stop learning together.
God gives us wisdom.
Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment. Proverbs 4:7 NLT
