• We want, first, to meet leaders in their own contexts and, as mutual trust and relationship are fostered, to sustain contact through face-to-face visits and web-based communication.
  
  
• We are committed to collaboration realizing that inappropriate competition hinders development and the effective use of resources.
  
  
• We strive for partnership, not dependency. We respect the integrity of the particular context and will not simply send resources, methods, and programs into another culture.
  
  
• We respect diversity and affirm men and women in ministry and leadership.
