However, we do work with other groups which accept government and public agency grants for relief and development programs, always ensuring that such programs are consistent with the Constitution and witness of the Alliance. Although priority is given to programs through Baptist organizations, consideration is also given to responsible and available channels, where there is no Baptist organization capable of assuming the responsibility. Programs are also considered which broaden the opportunity for Baptists to express their love and concern where there is a limited Baptist program in operation. Other organizations, such as other Baptist, Christian and non Sectarian agencies are selected based on their compatibility with the Christian philosophy of Baptist World Aid. Baptist World Aid can send you a list of projects, as well as a project book, describing the efforts of BWAid in meeting needs around the world.
