The World Needs Men…
• who cannot be bought;
• whose word is their bond;
• who put character above wealth;
• who possess opinions and a will;
• who are larger than their vocations;
• who do not hesitate to take chances;
• who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;
• who will be as honest in small things as in great things;
• who will make no compromise with wrong;
• whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires;
• who will not say they do it” because everybody else does it”;
• who are true to their friends through good report and evil report, in adversity as well as in prosperity;
• who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning, and hardheadedness are the best qualities for winning success;
• who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpopular;
• who can say “no” with emphasis, although all the rest of the world says “yes.”

Values Formation
As a Christian organization, World Vision values the relationship of children with God. Integral in all World Vision programmes and projects is the spiritual nurture of children. Spiritual nurture helps children become better and responsible persons. Children activities such as reflection, prayer and fun team games contribute to their spiritual nurture.
World Vision’s focus on children reflects God’s desire for children to be loved, protected and cared for holistically. As a Christian organization, we support the integration of spiritual nurture in our community programs, placing equal importance to values formation and respect for other people’s faith. World Vision also promotes Local Capacities for Peace (LCP) that helps village leaders and members weigh the effects of conflict and how children can be agents for lasting peace.
World Vision also sought to enhance its partnerships and effective involvement with churches and other faithbased organizations (FBOs) in holistic witness in relief, economic development, and working with children. One unique advantage of World Vision from other groups is its collaboration with Christian denominations and the involvement of Muslims and others in its programmes. CWI saw the breaking down of walls of differences and prejudices among people of divergent religious backgrounds, and these walls were being replaced by openness to learning from one another. Not only walls of differences were broken down, people were also liberated from fears brought about by differences of faith. A Muslim named Julhaber Jubail said that he also had some apprehensions, especially upon learning that Christians would lead the training on the spiritual nurture of children. He thought they might go the wrong way. However, he discovered that the curriculum teaches the same values as theirs.
