Our Mission:
Saving Kids from the Street

Mission Statement
We who recognize God's providence and fidelity to His people are dedicated to living out His covenant among ourselves and those children we serve, with absolute respect and unconditional love. That commitment calls us to serve suffering children of the street, and to protect and safeguard all children. Just as Christ in His humanity is the visible sign of God's presence among His people, so our efforts together in the covenant community are a visible sign that effects the presence of God, working through the Holy Spirit among ourselves and our kids.

Principles

Immediacy
Kids come to us in crisis. Immediately and without question, we meet their basic human needs - a nourishing meal, a shower, clean clothes, medical attention and a safe place away from the danger of the street.

Sanctuary
The kids who come to us are often frightened and mistrustful. We protect them from the perils of the street. Youngsters can grow only when they feel safe and secure.

Values Communication
Lying, cheating and stealing are common survival tools on the street. We teach kids - by example - that caring relationships are based on trust, respect and honesty.

Structure
Kids on the street never know how they will get their next meal or where they will sleep. We provide a regular schedule that gives them the stability they need in order to focus on the future.

Choice
Young people often feel powerless to control their lives and fall into a self-defeating cycle of failure. We encourage kids to believe in themselves and to make serious choices about their futures.
