The Bible will always be the only foundation to all aspects of Endure International, its priorities, policies and practices.
BELIEVERS
It is our conviction that indigenous believers should be given ownership of reaching their own people for Christ, and of planting churches. The role of foreign missions is to equip them to carry out these responsibilities.
PEOPLE GROUPS
Endure International is committed to work with every people group in the Middle East where God is at work without discrimination.
COMMITMENT
Though we realize that there may be extreme cases when indigenous believers will be forced to leave their countries; that will never be our emphasis or priority. We are committed to do everything in our power to provide the moral and spiritual support believers need in such cases. Securing a foreign safe haven is our last resort.
PARTNERSHIPS
We are committed to work in partnership with like-minded Evangelical organizations and churches, as long as we each forgo our personal agendas and work to meet the needs of the local church. We exist to serve the interests of the local church and to seek its welfare, not ours.
THE CHURCH
God’s unique agent for missions in the world is the church. Therefore, the role of the church is unique and central in world history. That is why Endure International strongly affirms its attachment to the church both at home and abroad, seeking where and when possible to partner with, minister to and through the local church.
