OUR CORE VALUES
At IHOPE, our mission is rooted in timeless biblical truth and lived out through compassionate service. These five values guide everything we do:
Faith & Love
We are motivated by God’s love to serve others with compassion and humility.
“We love because He first loved us.”
— 1 John 4:19 (NIV)
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
Dignity
We believe that every person is made in the image of God and deserves to be seen, known, and respected.
“So God created mankind in His own image…” — Genesis 1:27 (NIV)
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
Empowerment
We walk alongside people as they build confidence, resilience, and lasting transformation.
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me… to proclaim good news to the poor… to set the oppressed free.” — Luke 4:18 (NIV)
“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” — Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
Justice
We seek to reflect God’s heart for justice by standing with the poor, oppressed, and overlooked.
“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed…” — Isaiah 1:17 (NIV)
“He has shown you… what is good… To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly
with your God.” — Micah 6:8 (NIV)
Community
We believe transformation happens through deep relationships, mutual support, and shared hope.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 (NIV)
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” — Psalm 133:1 (NIV)
