Vision Statement

Kids Alive International will reflect the love of Christ by rescuing suffering children in crisis.

Core Values

1. Faith Based— God alone transforms lives. As we rescue children in crisis, we submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, depend on the power of the Holy Spirit, accept the authority of the Scriptures, and make prayer central to our ministry.
   
2. Action Oriented—We follow the example of Jesus Christ. We work to build just societies as we respond with sacrificial love to the world's suffering children.
   
3. Child Focused—We believe children should have the opportunity to mature and develop to their full potential. We care for the whole child by providing for the full range of spiritual, educational, social, physical, and emotional needs.
   
4. International Partnership of Churches—We are an international team with local churches as partners. We all benefit from jointly cultivating local leadership and developing culturally-relevant, caring communities for children. The children of Kids Alive International homes will be prepared to lead in church and home with integrity.
   
5. Committed to Excellence—We intend to be known for our determined pursuit of quality, the integrity of our relationships, the clarity of our communication, and our accountability with human and financial resources entrusted to us.
6. Family Centered—We believe in the nurturing power of the family. We strengthen existing families and place unprotected children in safe, family-style homes. We prepare these children to lead healthy families of their own in the future.
