Is evangelism a part of World Vision’s projects?

Submitted by Vuong.Hai.Son_124112 on

World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy agency, not an evangelistic agency. We do not demand that people hear any religious message or convert to Christianity before, during or after receiving assistance. Our primary concern is to help the world’s poorest achieve a better standard of living, by working with them to transform their circumstances. Our focus is to respond to human need, and our compassion and professionalism reflect our faith.

World Vision describes itself as a Christian organisation. What does this mean?

Submitted by Vuong.Hai.Son_124112 on

We are inspired by Christian values and seek for our work to be our testimony to the example of Jesus Christ. First, it means that we want to follow the example of Jesus in caring for the poor and the hungry, and in challenging the rich. Jesus healed the blind, the lame and leper, all outcasts in his day, and called the rich man to give up his wealth and follow him. Second, it means that we seek to uphold Christian standards of integrity and propriety in the way in which we handle our resources and our staff.

Do World Vision Projects create dependence on outside resources?

Submitted by Vuong.Hai.Son_124112 on

No. Community development projects are designed to be sustainable with locally available resources, technology, materials and leadership. Families and individuals share in project leadership, responsibilities and activities from the start and are well equipped and motivated to continue in these roles when World Vision ends its direct involvement in a community.
