STANDARDS OF CONDUCT WITHIN "the GOD who sees me" Missions 
As part of a team, we are to use their gifts and talents in specific areas that will serve the ministry’s needs, including: 

Participating as engaged in representing and carrying out the ministry of "the GOD who sees me" Missions in their community.
Providing leadership in local, area, and national roles.
Distributing God’s Word in approved venues locally, nationally, and internationally.
Building ministry relationships with local churches, including using Scripture distribution to assist them in their community outreach.
Praying daily for the ministry of "the GOD who sees me" Missions, particularly for witnessing opportunities.
Contributing personal financial support for the ministry of "the GOD who sees me" Missions through ministry partners with financial gifts that expand outreach opportunities to the unsaved.
Assisting in the development of financial support for the ministry of "the GOD who sees me" Missions through approved venues and the supportive business community.
Presenting the ministry at local churches and Christian organizations to report on how God’s Word is changing lives and to demonstrate the ministry’s stewardship of its resources.

While a financial partner is not expected to be actively involved in all the actions listed above, failure to be involved in any of them would breach the intent of this Standard of Conduct. 

MONITORING STANDARDS OF CONDUCT: 
Those traveling with "the GOD who sees me" Missions are expected to self-monitor their alignment with this Standard of Conduct. While different church groups may apply differing criteria relating to areas of Christian lifestyle (according to their own particular theological biases), "the GOD who sees me" Missions participants should be identifiable as exemplary followers of Jesus Christ. They will practice personal spiritual disciplines that enhance their own relationship with God and make them effective as a member of an association whose primary purpose is reaching lost people with the gospel message. Their relationship with the Christian community at large should be a positive one. 
In instances where a mission trip participant of "the GOD who sees me" Missions seems to be straying from the intent of this Standard of Conduct with no evidence of personal self-correction, then it is appropriate for the President of "the GOD who sees me" Missions, VP or Ministry Director of "the GOD who sees me" Missions to step forward and support the guest towards compliance. If, for example, a guest travelling with "the GOD who sees me" Missions exhibits behaviour unbecoming of "the GOD who sees me" Missions, the President, VP, or Director of Ministry should gently yet firmly with the erring guests, urging that individual to align with the intent of the Standard of Conduct. 
If the President or VP is unable to bring the guest into alignment with the Standard of Conduct, they must engage the Area Board. If further resolution is needed, the matter can then be brought to "the GOD who sees me" Missions Board of Directors. 

STATEMENT OF FAITH 
We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Bible as the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God in the original manuscripts. 
We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned, and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is 
separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility are sinners in thought, word and deed, and that all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are justified on the merit of His shed blood. 
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God and that He was born of the virgin Mary and that He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, as a sole and sufficient substitutionary sacrifice; that He was buried and rose again the third day; that He ascended into heaven and that He now lives there for us, as our High Priest and only Advocate and that He will personally come again; that our salvation is secured exclusively and completely by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone; and that we can neither add to nor subtract from Christ’s atoning work for us. 
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the eternal blessedness of the saved while the unsaved suffer eternal separation from God
(Dan 12:1-2, Mk 9:42-48, Matt. 18:6-9, 25:31-46, 2 Thess. 1:5-10, Jude 7, Rev 14:9- 11, 20:10, 14-15)

COVENANT: 
As a "the GOD who sees me" Missions team member, I commit to being a faithful witness of Jesus Christ in all areas of my life, ensuring my relationship with Him is given priority. I recognize that this trip began the day I was accepted, and extends into my return home. 
During this time, I will: 

#1—RADIATE JOY
I understand that there will be hard days on this trip where my feelings and fatigue may overwhelm me. In those times, I will turn my focus back onto God and His word and remember that “...He has created us a new in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” 
I will let the authentic joy and gratitude that comes with being Christ’s child lead my feelings and attitude so that the missional goals will not be overshadowed. I recognize this is not only for my own benefit, but primarily the benefit of those I have been entrusted to serve. 

#2—PROTECT OTHERS AND MYSELF
I understand that we live in a sinful world that requires me to act wisely and stay alert at all times, especially in the field and in transit. I commit to reading and listening to the safety advice offered by "the GOD who sees me" Missions throughout the course of the field we are going to. 
I also recognize the authority of this trip and "the GOD who sees me" Missions leaders have over me for my personal well being, as they have committed to mitigating risk on my behalf. Therefore, I will follow their instruction and leadership in all trip related matters such as safety, accommodation, social media usage, interactions within the team, and with the public. 
In the spirit of exhibiting love, patience, self-control, and care for others, I also hold myself accountable to doing my own research when it comes to protecting myself and others. I will never use abusive language, action, or coercion, and I will continue to abstain from illicit or recreational drugs and abuse of alcohol/prescription drugs as I stated with my application. I recognize that when in the actual field, alcohol use specifically is prohibited for all "the GOD who sees me" Missions representatives, including myself. 

#3—KEEP IT CLEAN
I commit to personally abide by what the Scriptures tell us when it comes to sexuality and relationships. While on the trip, I commit that I will not engage in any sort of romantic relationship outside the confines of marriage. In addition, I agree to dress modestly and in a way that will honour God, me, and all those around me. I agree that in an unmarried context, no person should be left alone with a member of the opposite sex, and no one, unless the parent or guardian, should be left alone with a minor. A third person should always be present to witness my interactions with others. 

#4—BUILD TEAM MUSCLE
I understand that as "the GOD who sees me" Missions representative, my focus is on building relationships through evangelism—not simply handing out Scriptures. Therefore, I will treat everyone I meet with the same honour that we undeservedly received through Christ on the cross. Christ never treated us like a number but instead a name—and I will do the same. This means respecting the host culture to the best of my ability using the skills and knowledge I have and will learn along the way through my Trip training. 
I recognize that my team is not just my fellow travellers, but also the global church I am serving alongside. I will at all times agree to have open and honest communication with all of my teammates. And in times of dispute or disagreement, I will strive to remember Christ’s ultimate act of reconciliation and forgiveness through the cross (2 Corinthians 5:17-22) and model my attitude and behaviour according to His example. I also commit to protecting information shared with me in confidence, unless it could negatively affect the safety of an individual or group. If information leaves me with any concerns, I will seek counsel with a leader, without the intentions of gossip. 
I commit to using my personal skills in a way that compliments my teammates and builds them up (1 Peter 4:10-11). I will make it my goal to be an evangelist in everything I do, think, and speak. In the spirit of collaboration and reconciliation, I expect my trip leaders and teammates to hold me accountable for my actions in all stages of the trip. 

#5—BE HONEST
I commit that I am entering into this mission trip with no personal agendas. I will prioritize the gospel as the free gift I give out in the field, and will not give unapproved gifts or any denominational-based theological views that could create unintentional negative consequences for a recipient in the host culture. 
Finally, I recognize that Trip relationships are built on trust. Therefore, I will be a trustworthy person who accepts and tells the truth with Christlike gentleness— even when it is difficult. I will be a person of gospel centred integrity throughout the entire Trip journey—whether it be fundraising, submitting paperwork, team building, completing learning exercises, Scripture reading, prayer, evangelizing, or planning future ministry opportunities.
