We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, inerrant in the original autographs and serves as the ultimate authority for faith and life. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith, and this is not our own doing: it is the gift of God, not a result of works. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through his shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We follow the example of Jesus as we serve those who are suffering from poverty and injustice, regardless of color, belief, or gender. We believe that every person is made in the image of God and is therefore worthy of the highest respect and honor. All students are welcome, regardless of religion, race, nationality or physical disability. We share and live out the hope of Christ in word and deed. We seek to serve in love, not to proselytize. We recognize that there will be areas of cultural differences. We encourage American volunteers to make extra effort to listen and learn, and to seek to understand and honor those differences. We never criticize someone’s cultural background or beliefs. As we seek change in the world, we recognize that we too are changed by those we serve. We avoid presenting our opinions on politics, both American or international. We want to encourage refugee women to form their own opinions on these matters.
