What guides us, drives us, and defines who we are at LLIAM
We have worked to articulate core values that drive our individual and organizational posture. These five stated values serve as guides to remind us what we are about, what is important to us, and what we want to strive for in the future.
Rooted in Scripture and lived out daily, these values shape our decisions, our relationships, and our ministry to children and families in Uganda.
We are not simply employees of LLIAM, but men and women passionate about living out the gospel in the communities we serve. We work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
We believe that children are a heritage from God and a blessing from His hand. We are committed to God's plan for passing His love down through the ages by encouraging parents to love their children "so the generations to come might know" the love and forgiveness of Christ resulting in Abundant Life. We are equally committed to upholding the concept of family as God's original and primary means of producing a Godly offspring and passing on Godly values from generation to generation.
"Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him."
"These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children."
We believe each person is made in God's image. Since people matter to God, they matter to us. As such, we will intentionally engage the poor, the oppressed and the needy in the communities in which we serve. We believe life change happens through relationship. We will value people over tasks.
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together... but encouraging one another."
"Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed."
We are responsible with the resources entrusted to us (money, people, and time), recognizing they are God's gift and provision and not our own. We will be generous in our giving of care, time and finances.
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."
"It is more blessed to give than to receive."
We will do what we say, and we will say what we do. We place the needs of the team over our own and we value teamwork over individual accomplishments.
"The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them."
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor."
These five values—Passion, Family, Relationships, Stewardship, and Integrity—work together to create the foundation of all we do. They remind us daily that our work is not just a job but a calling to demonstrate God's love in practical ways.
"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
Every value we hold is grounded in the Word of God. Our passion comes from Colossians 3:23, our commitment to family from Deuteronomy 6, our focus on relationships from Hebrews 10, our stewardship from 1 Peter 4, and our integrity from Proverbs 20.
These aren't just nice ideas—they're biblical principles that shape how we serve children and families every day.
