We stay only as long as needed and welcome.
We promote effective and Godly stewardship of resources as a model for business and ministry.
We view all our work as spiritual activity with eternal significance.
We practice the accountability of planning and evaluating our work, and teach others to do the same.
OUR RECIPIENTS
(WHO we come alongside)
We give priority to those Christian leaders:
- Who have limited resources

We work with churches, para-church organizations and kingdom-minded business and professional men and women.
We seek out potential leaders, as well as those currently serving in leadership roles.
OUR VISION
Paraclete’s vision is to see a flourishing, diverse global Church served by faithful, effective leaders.

OUR VALUES
SERVANTHOOD
We work with a heart of humility, and honor those we serve.
ACTION WITH REFLECTION
We believe that God cares about both being and doing, so we practice and teach both action and reflection.
RESPECT
We respect the God-given dignity of each person, embrace diversity, and model interdependence as members of the global Church.
JUSTICE
We commit to equitable justice in our practices, pursue unity among multiple ethnicities in our partnerships, and advocate for justice in a suffering world.
EXCELLENCE WITH INTEGRITY
We pursue high standards and transparency in all that we do.
HEART FOR THE NATIONS
We love all peoples and give special attention to those who serve cross-culturally.
OUR Statement of faith
We believe the Bible to be the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
