Values
As Christians, we hold as important many values, beliefs, and principles. The following is an abbreviated list of LifeRise AIDS Resources values most central to HIV/AIDS which guide us as we serve our beneficiaries, collaborate with our partners, and operate as an organization. An expanded list of our values may be found in our document LifeRise AIDS Resources Mission, Program Goals, Vision, and Values, Beliefs, and Principles.
| Compassion |
LifeRise AIDS Resources follows the example of Christ to show mercy and bring healing to those hurting from HIV/AIDS.
|
| Central Place of Family and Community |
Because the family, within the larger context of community, is the preferred structure in which people pursue their lives and raise children, we support only those efforts that are family-and community-based, which draw upon the assets of these societal institutions to address HIV/AIDS.
|
| Engagement in the International HIV/AIDS Arena |
We engage in HIV/AIDS not only to relieve vulnerability and suffering on an individual level, but also to promote Christian values and response on a global level. |
|
| Health Focus but Holistic Care |
Our projects are holistic going beyond health needs to meet emotional, psychological, social, economic and spiritual concerns.
|
| Integrity |
To be responsible in our actions and good stewards of resources, we commit to the highest standards of integrity and demand the same of our partners.
|
| Concern for the Poor and Most Vulnerable |
LifeRise shares God’s special concern for the poor, oppressed, and most vulnerable, such as orphans and widows, and favors projects that work among them.
|
| Transforming Power of the Gospel |
We believe that there is no more effective way to stem the tide of HIV/AIDS than to transform lives with the gospel of Christ. |
|
| Partnership and Participation at a Local Level |
LifeRise partners with grassroots evangelical Christians because we believe that projects are best designed and most sustainable when implemented by those whose lives are directly affected by them.
|
| Marriage as a Sacred Covenant |
LifeRise programs affirm God’s design for marriage as a life commitment of mutual love and respect between one adult man and one adult woman with sexual relations taking place only within the bonds of marriage.
|
| Excellence in Our Programs |
We desire to be excellent in our work, employing “best practices” and continuous learning and improvement, in order to reflect well on our God whom we serve.
