“When our family looks for organizations that we partner with, along with a clear mission that includes a Biblical worldview, we believe that leadership is a vital key. Personally, I am looking for leaders who have GHI (Generosity, Humility and Integrity). I believe these three character traits are the antidotes to the three ‘tricks’ Satan offers, which are ‘Lust of the Eyes, Pride of Life and Lust of the Flesh’ (1 John 2:16). If you find someone with GHI they are on their way to conquering the tricks of the devil and doing great things for the glory of God.”

“Our giving decisions are entirely made by coming to the Lord and asking him, ‘Is this where you want these funds to go?’ A few years ago the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Just because it has my name on it, doesn’t mean that it has your name on it.’ That was a powerful realization for me that just because it’s a Jesus-project doesn’t mean it’s assigned to Hugette. Not everything that is his work means I have to do it, so our focus is on being obedient to the unique things God calls us to. We want whatever resources we have – which are not really ours – to be flexible to be used wherever God wants them, even if that means sometimes sacrificing our own comforts and wants.”

“I grew up on the mission field and my wife was a missionary for a season so we tend to give with a missions focus. We want the Great Commission to be finished. A lot of people and churches nowadays don’t have the vision for missions and don’t have the will to support missionaries. So we give to our church, but we also take up the flag of missions and let others take care of other things. When we come across something that we feel like we want to support, we’ll each come up with a number and then compare notes. Most of the time it’s pretty much the same number.”
