Mission: Fearlessly reaching the forgotten youth of El Salvador with Christ’s
love, restoring hope to their lives, and discipling them to become mature and
responsible adults, leaders of healthy families, and authentic followers of
Christ.
Vision: To see Salvadoran youth healed through Christ’s love and leading changed, productive, abandoned lives for His glory.
Our core values are as
follows:
1. Authentic followers of Christ – We believe that following Christ is not a religion, or set of rules that we are to follow, but rather a completely abandoned devotion and submission to our Lord. We believe that this is not comfortable and requires us to die to ourselves on a daily basis.
2. Family
– We believe that most of the problems that plague the Salvadoran society are
the direct result of the breakdown of the family. We believe that God created the family and it
is the God-ordered responsibility of parents to train up their children in the
ways of the Lord. Although the church
plays an important role in the spiritual formation of children and youth, the
primary responsibility lies with the family.
It is the
place where precious lives are taught the ways of God both by word and especially
by example. The cornerstone of a
strong society is a strong family unit. As the family begins to fail, so does
the surrounding society. We believe the
family should be the second priority (God being the first) to every believer.
3. Education
– We believe that education can provide youth with hope and an opportunity for
a better future. Education also
empowers youth to meet their obligations as parents and citizens.
4. Hard
Work – We believe that God created us to be productive hard-workers and
that all work should be done for His glory.
We believe that youth are particularly called to work hard (Proverbs
10:5) and that poverty is often the result of laziness or poor stewardship.
5. Community
Service – Jesus said that others will know that we are Christians by our
love for one another (John 13:35) and that love is often expressed through
deeds (James 2:14-17). We believe that
we are called to reach out to the youth of El Salvador
