    In everything we do, we will conduct ourselves in keeping with biblical principles through:

    A Christ-centered approach to serving others by applying biblical principles, standards, and practices as an organization and as individuals.

    A student-centered ministry by designing our ministry programs in response to the needs of international students and their families, treating every student with dignity, compassion, and sensitivity.

    Full-cycle evangelism by ministering to students so they come to a knowledge of salvation in Christ and are equipped to reproduce the life of Christ in others.

    A dependence on churches by remaining committed to accomplishing our objectives through the mobilization of the people of God.
