Core Values

LORDSHIP OF CHRIST

This ministry belongs to God. We are stewards of WAEIM. We are here to serve him and bring him glory.

Committed to biblical truth

We are committed to biblical truth and joyfully affirm historic, evangelical Christianity. With courage, we declare to the nations the good news of new life in Jesus Christ.

Dependent on God

“By Prayer ” we depend on God for the provision of all our needs. We will demonstrate diligence, integrity, sharing and accountability in cultivating and using the resources God provides

People of prayer and faith

Prayer and exercising faith is foundational in our life and ministry. “By Prayer and faith” we praise God, seek his direction, request resources and call upon the Holy Spirit to empower our ministries.

A Christ-like people

We desire to be a transforming people dedicated to becoming like Christ in love, servanthood, holiness and obedience to the Father. We believe that following Christ’s example means sacrifice.

Love-Strengthened through diversity

God is love. We are intentionally interdenominational, international and multiethnic. We believe this expresses the unity of the body of Christ in the world. We believe we will be more effective in ministry as we incorporate the richness of cultural diversity in WAEIM and celebrate our oneness in Christ.

PARTNERSHIP

It is not about personal kingdom building. It’s working together for his glory. We partner with friends and other kingdom minded people for fulfilling God’s mandate. It does not matter who gets the credit.

Responsive to our times

We don’t have eternity to fulfil God’s purpose. We will therefore respond with creativity and courage to evolving needs and opportunities under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. To be effective and relevant, our ministry, priorities and structures are subject to ongoing evaluation and adaptation.

Learning and growing

We believe in the worth and giftedness of each person in WAEIM and of those we seek to serve. We practice the giving and receiving of discipleship, life-long learning, consultative leadership, mutual development and training as enduring disciplines.

Care for human needs

We humbly acknowledge that the ultimate human need is to know God. We also believe that he has called us to compassionate, holistic service in this broken world by alleviating suffering, fostering development and effecting change in society.
