Mission, Vision and Core Values

Our Mission

To restore hope, dignity and love to the needy, that God may be glorified.

Vision and Objectives of Pilgrim

Our vision is to restore hope, dignity and love to those in need and devastated by war, poverty or disaster. Pilgrim provides spiritual, material, social and economic support through integrated multi-sectored interventions, demonstrating the hope and love found in Christ Jesus that generates wholeness, creativity and dignity.

Our vision is for people to take steps to "move their doorsteps" into the vicinity of needy neighbors. Christians have a real obligation to leap to the aid of the poor. We encourage people of compassion and good will to extend themselves to those in need.

Our vision is to encourage and enhance Christian charity and work in needy and hopeless regions, thus bringing more abundant life. We seek to promote individual friendships and cultural exchange between Americans and Africans through a variety of programs and tools, including micro-charitable investments into programs such as schools, farms, hospitals and education campaigns and to promote spiritual unity through these relationships.

Core Values

Christian Pilgrims:
A Biblical worldview: We believe that since we are created in God's image, all people have value and are due respect, and all have potential to live prosperous and harmonious lives. We are responsible for one another; especially the disadvantaged God has placed within our reach. We choose a lifestyle of simplicity to be able to be more available to lay down our lives for our fellow pilgrims, and to be better able to share His offer of new life through faith in Him. We believe in the holiness and application of the whole biblical teaching to the lives of individuals, families and our communities.

Integrity in Stewardship:
As Christians we strongly believe we are stewards of God's creation and resources, putting them to use with thrift and honesty and being faithful in accountability, being open and factual in our dealings with donors, project communities, and governments. We care for the earth, acting in ways that will restore and protect the environment and promote conservation.

Professionalism:
Professionals working together as a team, skilled in different areas by God's grace, choice and provision; stirring and nurturing the gifts and talents in those that we work with; and balancing faith, knowledge and skills in delivering service with excellence. We demand of ourselves high standards of professional competence and financial accountability.

Holistic Approach:
We believe that the human being is whole with social, economic, physical and spiritual needs that are interconnected and related. Meeting one aspect of these needs without the others does not improve the overall condition of humanity. We believe in coordinated initiatives to meet all the needs of a given community or person in order to realize the overall effective improvement in the lives of the target beneficiaries.
