SIM’s Core Values 核心价值观

We are a ‘Gospel community’ that is:

  1. Committed to Biblical Truth
    We are committed to biblical truth and joyfully affirm historic, evangelical Christianity. With courage, we declare to the nations the good news of new life in Jesus Christ.

  2. Dependent on God
    ‘By Prayer’ and in faith we depend on God for the provision of all our needs. We will demonstrate diligence, integrity, sharing, and accountability in cultivating and using the resources God provides.

  3. A People of Prayer
    Prayer is foundational in our life and ministry. ‘By Prayer’ we praise God, seek his direction, request resources, and call upon the Holy Spirit to empower our ministries.

  4. Mission-Focused
    We are committed to the urgent and unfinished task of making disciples of Jesus Christ in all nations. In doing this we desire to work in loving, trusting, interdependent relationships with churches and other partners who share our vision.

  5. Church-Centred
    We are committed to being a Mission that begins, nurtures, and equips churches to be the expression of Christ in their communities and to reach out with cross-cultural missionary vision and action.

  6. Concerned About Human Needs
    We humbly acknowledge that the ultimate human need is to know God. We also believe that he has called us to compassionate, holistic service in this broken world by alleviating suffering, fostering development, and effecting change in society.

  7. A Christlike Community
    We desire to be a transforming community dedicated to becoming like Christ in love, servanthood, holiness, and obedience to the Father. We believe that following Christ’s example means sacrifice, sometimes hardship, and perhaps even death.

  8. A Learning, Growing Community
    We believe in the worth and giftedness of each person in SIM and of those we seek to serve. We practise the giving and receiving of discipleship, life--long learning, consultative leadership, mutual development, and training as enduring disciplines.

  9. Strengthened Through Diversity
    We are intentionally interdenominational, international and multiethnic because we believe this expresses the unity of the body of Christ in the world. We believe we will be more effective in ministry as we incorporate the richness of cultural diversity in SIM and celebrate our oneness in Christ.

  10. Responsive to Our Times
    We will respond with creativity and courage to evolving needs and opportunities under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. To be effective and relevant, our ministries, priorities, and structures are subject to on--going evaluation and adaptation.

    我们是”福音的群体”，意即：

    1.遵行圣经真理

    我们遵行圣经真理，并坚持历史性与福音性的信仰。我们带着勇气向各国各民传扬在耶稣基督里有新生命的好消息。

    2. 完全仰赖真神

    藉着祷告和凭着信心我们仰赖神为我们预备各种需要。我们以勤劳、廉洁、分享，以及负责任的态度来开发和善用祂所赐的各种资源。

    3. 成为祷告子民

    祷告是我们生命与事奉的基石。“藉着祷告”我们称颂神、寻求祂的引导、祈求各种资源、更求圣灵在我们的事奉上加添能力。

    4. 专注差传事奉

    我们委身于迫切和尚未完成的目标：“使万民作耶稣基督门徒”。为此，我们立志与持有相同异象的教会和伙伴在爱、信任、互依互存的关系中同工。

    5. 以教会为重心

    我们尽差会的本份来建设、栽植、装备各教会，使她们在其社区中展现基督样式，并带着跨文化宣教异象和行动向外伸展。

    6. 关顾世人需要

    我们谦卑地承认，人类最终的需要是认识神。我们也相信神召我们在这破碎的世界中作怜悯和整全关顾的服侍，在社区中缓和痛苦、促进发展和作有效的改变。

    7. 学像基督样式

    我们愿在爱、服侍、圣洁和顺服天父方面，被转化像基督的群体。我们相信跟随基督的榜样意味着牺牲、困难，甚至死亡。

    8. 学习与成长的群体

    我们相信每个在SIM和我们所服侍的人都有其价值和恩赐。我们持续操练给予和接受门徒训练、终身学习、协商的领导层、共同发展，以及训练的纪律。

    9. 在差异中巩固

    我们定意地朝向国际化和跨宗派，因为我们相信这表达了基督身体在世界中的合一。我们相信结合SIM中不同但丰富的文化，却又在主里合一，能使事工更有果效。

    10. 回应当下时代

    在圣灵指引下，我们将以创意和勇气来回应所显现的需要和机会。我们的事工、优先秩序和组织也将经常作检讨和调整，以维持有效和切合性。
