Seven Guiding Principles
Cross International Pledges to:
- Operate with integrity as a committed Christian ministry, grounded in prayer - but serve all in need, regardless of their religious beliefs.
- Hold a tenacious commitment to keep overhead costs low.
- Maintain a "tunnel vision" focus on helping the poorest of the poor.
- Reach the poor with both material aid (food, medicines, shelter, clothing, job training, etc.) and the hope of the Gospel.
- Show special compassion to needy brothers and sisters in Christ.
- Pursue high levels of productivity and remain dedicated to a pursuit of excellence for the glory of God.
- The poor are rich in faith. Make a serious commitment to develop an exchange of love and prayer between the Church in America and churches in developing countries.
