our approach
TWO MAIN OBJECTIVES
Since 1980, Lifeline Christian Mission has focused on two objectives:
- investing in programs that pave a path out of poverty for individuals and families around the world
- providing opportunities for concerned individuals, businesses, and churches to join God in this work
HOLISTIC GOSPEL-CENTERED MINISTRIES
To accomplish these objectives, we empower Lifeline’s local leaders to lead and develop holistic Gospel-centered ministries that are relevant to their own cultures and will impact generations to come.
Lifeline's local ministry leaders know their communities: the local assets, the human resources and potential, local needs, culture, and dreams. They know far better than we do the components of a relevant and impactful community ministry.
When leaders prayerfully and strategically tap into local assets for holistic ministry projects, a community can be empowered and strengthened... and there is a great potential for the Kingdom of God to be demonstrated!
When individuals of all ages are healthy, empowered, and spiritually strong, they become the heart of Gospel-centered communities.
So we listen to Lifeline’s local leaders, learn from them, strategize with them, invest in them, and empower them to lead ministry work in their communities. This is the path to sustainable change and strong communities.
REFRAMING MINISTRY AROUND THE GLOBE
Only with God's leadership can anything of lasting value take place, so we are driven to our knees in prayer to keep God at the forefront of all that we do.
Yet over the years, we’ve also discovered that good intentions don’t always result in the expected results.
So, we reframed how we do ministry.
CHURCHES, YOUTH, HEALTH AND NUTRITION, AND ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
To drive toward holistically healthy individuals and communities, we and our leaders focus on providing access to basic Christian education, increasing availability of affordable quality health care, expanding economic opportunities, and sharing God’s message of love and hope.
By investing in these areas, families are more self-sufficient, community members are healthier, children are empowered for their futures, and churches thrive!
