1. Value: The focus of Inspiration Ministries is eternal matters, seeking to make an eternal difference, and believing that Christ came that all might have abundant life.
"For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:40
"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10b
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Cor 4:18
2. Value: We seek to enable people with disabilities to live independently while promoting interdependent relationships.
"The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. . . . The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don't need you!’ And the head cannot say to the feet, ‘I don't need you!’ On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable" 1 Cor 12:12, 21-22
3. Value: Ministry service is given with authentic faith and love.
"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves." Rom 12:10
"Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." Eph 4:15-16
4. Value: Each life touched is to be valued, whether those we serve, volunteers or staff members.
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Phil 2:3-4
5. Value: The ministry intentionally offers life changing services and products.
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Col 3:17
6. Value: An indispensable part of the ministry is offering hope to those we serve.
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." Heb 10:2
