Vision, Mission, Values
Deo Volente means ‘Lord Willing’
Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such boasting is evil.
Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.
James 4:13-17

Values
Subordinate to the Lord
We are a following organization. We will follow the Lord and we subordinate well found strategic planning principles to the leading of the Lord. We will not drive solutions, we will pray and be instruments of the Lord. He will be the One to open doors.

Strategic
To provide highly strategic, innovative thought leadership to global church planting and evangelistic initiatives through research, planning, and collaboration.
Collaborative
We will only work with collaborating ministries. Our goal is kingdom unity, therefore; we seek to work with ministries that desire to work collaboratively with our ministry and others.
Character-Driven
We will comprise our ministry with spiritually humble, front-edge thinkers who are experienced, competency-based practitioners.
Actively Involved
We are active investors with our involvement, as well as our clear and measurable expectations.
