We desire to be grounded in and faithful to Scripture in our understanding and practice of mission. We endeavor to follow the example of Jesus, who embodied God\u2019s love by identifying with those he served. We continually call upon and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in prayer. We strive to live out our faith in all we do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Service.<\/strong> We believe Jesus met human need with a holistic salvation, one that touched all aspects of life. We witness to Jesus Christ in ways that include verbal proclamation of the gospel, response to human need and care for creation. We cultivate integrity, stewardship, honesty, transparency and accountability in all aspects of our work. We encourage flexible and creative responses to the leading of the Holy Spirit as we seek to be of service to God, God\u2019s people and the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Community.<\/strong> We believe God calls humanity into relationships of love and support in community. We care for all people with whom we work, both those who are served and those who offer their lives in service. We engage in mission in ways that respect the giftedness of all our partners and the diversity that God creates and in which God delights. We are committed to partnership and cooperation with a wide range of agencies, both within and beyond the American Baptist movement, to fulfill God\u2019s call and our mission. We strive to build relationships of mutual giving and receiving.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Our Core Values&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:div|font_size:24px|text_align:left|color:%23565560&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_column_text]We commit ourselves to these core values, repenting when we fall short and seeking the power of the Spirit to more &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cos_headline_score":0,"cos_seo_score":0,"cos_headline_text":"","cos_headline_has_been_analyzed":false,"cos_last_analyzed_headline":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-17379","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Core Values | International Ministries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/internationalministries.org\/core-values\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Core Values | International Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Our Core Values&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:div|font_size:24px|text_align:left|color:%23565560&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_column_text]We commit ourselves to these core values, repenting when we fall short and seeking the power of the Spirit to more ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/internationalministries.org\/core-values\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"International Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/InternationalMinistries\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-09-02T20:50:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@InterNatMin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/internationalministries.org\\\/core-values\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/internationalministries.org\\\/core-values\\\/\",\"name\":\"Core Values | International Ministries\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/internationalministries.org\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-09-02T20:48:46+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-09-02T20:50:11+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/internationalministries.org\\\/core-values\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/internationalministries.org\\\/core-values\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/internationalministries.org\\\/core-values\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/internationalministries.org\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Core Values\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/internationalministries.org\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/internationalministries.org\\\/\",\"name\":\"International Ministries\",\"description\":\"Faith.
