As Christians we shall serve God every day above
all other priorities, for only through a genuine relationship with
Him may we be effective in our ministry and service to others.
We shall always view our labor as ministry to others, not as mere
work or a job; Word Aflame Publications is not just a job! We exist
to serve God and our customers. Only as we serve both well are
we effective in serving either. In all that we do we shall do our
best to please and serve both as true Christians. We shall endeavor
always by every ability and with all the strength given us by our
Creator to provide to our customers Christian literature that meets
the following criteria:
1. Doctrinally correct
2. Spiritually perceptive to the times
3. Inspirational
4. Cosmetically attractive
5. Educationally and grammatically sound
6. Flexible to varying needs
7. Delivered to the classroom on time.
We shall strive always to meet these goals as a team
of individuals, working hard to be a positive example to others
by courageously meeting every challenge with faith, confidence,
and persistence. Since we are a team, each member depending on
the other team members, we will honor each other by our love, kindness,
and attitude toward one another, and by keeping the literature
on schedule to the very best of our ability.
