| Homeless Children International, Inc. is a non-profit organization
established for the purpose of intervening in the lives of the world’s most neglected
children. This organization is founded upon the following principles.
1. Faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
WE BELIEVE that faith in our Lord Jesus Christ will move all
"mountains" and obstacles which would prevent us from intervening in the lives
of the homeless children of this world.
WE ARE COMMITTED to waiting upon our Heavenly Father in the confidence
He will use us to help those who are the world’s most neglected children.
2. For God so loved the world that He
gave His only Son.
John 3:16
WE BELIEVE it is the will of our Heavenly Father for us to be involved
in His work of love.
WE ARE COMMITTED to proclaiming the Father’s love displayed
through Jesus Christ our Lord for a world of homeless, hungry, and hurting children.
3. . . . How is it that Satan has so
filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of
the money . . . Acts 5:3
WE BELIEVE that this service is a calling from our Heavenly Father and
in no way is it to be used for personal gain.
WE ARE COMMITTED to ensuring that all the funds donated to the cause
of helping in the lives of homeless children goes to that cause.
4. Owe no man anything, but to love one
another.
Romans 13:8
WE BELIEVE that our Heavenly Father will supply all our needs for the
task He has purposed for us to complete.
WE ARE COMMITTED to never borrowing money, material goods, or going
into debt.
5. I charge you, in the sight of God and
Christ Jesus and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to
do nothing out of favoritism. I Timothy 5:21
WE BELIEVE no partiality should be shown to any man or woman who would
enter into this endeavor with us.
WE ARE COMMITTED to treating all donators, assistors, or fellow
helpers equally.
6. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It
is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come
unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. And when He is come, He will reprove
the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not
on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more; Of judgment,
because the prince of this world is judged. John
16:7-11
WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit convicts people of the sin in their
lives.
WE ARE COMMITTED to sharing the Gospel openly and freely with all who
will listen.
7. The third time he said to him,
"Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the
third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know
that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. . . ."
John 21:17
WE BELIEVE that it is the Will of our Heavenly Father that each child
should develop both physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
WE ARE COMMITTED to providing physical, mental, emotional as well as
spiritual food for the children which the Heavenly Father has given into our care.
8. The righteous care about justice for
the poor, but the wicked have no such concern. Proverbs
29:7
WE BELIEVE that preventing the problem of homelessness is in the
child’s best interest.
WE ARE COMMITTED to preventing the problem of homeless children from
occurring whenever and wherever possible.
9. And when you release him, do not send
him away empty-handed. Supply him liberally from your flock, your threshing floor and your
winepress. Give to him as the Lord your God has blessed you.
Deuteronomy 15:13-14
WE BELIEVE every establishment should be given or built with the
ability to become self supporting.
WE ARE COMMITTED to being united in a bond of love in Christ Jesus our
Lord to see that the establishments with which we are affiliated are given the ability to
move as much as possible toward self support.
10. But Jesus called the children to him
and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the
kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Luke
18:16
WE BELIEVE that every decision of the organization must always be made
with the child’s interest in mind and at heart.
WE ARE COMMITTED to never leaving the individual child’s interest
out of our decisions.
