FAITH: We exercise faith in the will, power and providence of God to meet every need for both the work and the worker. Therefore, the expansion and outreach of this ministry is not determined by our visible resources but rather by the commands and promises of God.

SACRIFICE: We recognize personal sacrifice and total dedication to be essential to the fulfilling of our God-given commission. We should be willing to face hardship, inconvenience, sickness and danger for the fulfillment of Christ's command to make known the Gospel to all people.

HOLINESS: We affirm our dependence upon the work of the Holy Spirit to fulfill our purpose, and shall ever seek the Holy Spirit's power and guidance by prayer, faith, obedience and humility. We take this to mean living with the supreme aim of pleasing God in thought, word and deed according to the standard of the Bible

FELLOWSHIP: We are a fellowship of God's people drawn from various denominational and cultural backgrounds. We therefore allow no national or racial prejudices or exclusive denominational or doctrinal emphases in the life and ministry of CLC. The fellowship principle within CLC means that each worker is sensitive to the needs and welfare of others and bears one another's burdens in the spirit of love.
