Motivated by God’s love for all people, especially His special concern for the poor and vulnerable, Agros International empowers families and communities to build lives and futures rooted in opportunity and hope.

Agros’ mission is inspired and guided by the life of Jesus Christ. Our work embodies Jesus’ Kingdom mission in the world: a mission of healing and reconciliation for individuals, communities, and systems (Isaiah 65:17–25). Jesus spent His time with the brokenhearted, the disenfranchised, and the marginalized. He elevated the status of women and modeled an alternative worldview that challenges injustice. We are inspired by the conviction that we, too, are invited to follow His Way of living and have the opportunity to participate with Him in His healing work in the world.

Central to Agros’ mission is the invitation for others to join us. We are fully committed to fostering authentic, life-giving relationships. At the heart of Agros’ work is the formation of a broad community of engaged and compassionate individuals dedicated to partnering in this mission of healing.

Our Values:

We are committed to following Jesus and living in response to His most important command: to love God and love our neighbor. Our faith is rooted in the belief that this love transforms everything. Guided by these convictions, we, as a team, commit to the following values:

• We strive to reflect God’s grace to one another and those whom we serve. Our primary motivation is to answer Jesus’ call to serve the poor.
  
  
• We carry out our work in humility, partnership, and participation with those whom we serve. We recognize that love is the supreme value, that relationship is an open invitation, and that our actions speak eloquently of our faith. In the course of our work, and in respect to persons and context, we speak honestly and openly of our faith without being prescriptive or coercive.
  
  
• We serve the poor without requiring or prohibiting religious participation or denominational affiliation.
  
  
• We strive to be intentional in personal and corporate spiritual practices—prayer, engaging Scripture, and becoming a community of support and accountability as means of growing in our personal faith.
