Vine Philosophy

Vibrancy, creativity, and dedication in prayer, fellowship, work, and worship
Inspired by the Love of God.  We love because God first loved us.
Necessity of mutual submission, self-sacrifice, openness, proactiveness and continual reconciliation in all relationships
Empowered by the Holy Spirit and not our own strength

How Does FVI work with my organization?

We have a three pronged approach of need identification:

• Identifying what the immediate need is.
• Identifying what long and short term interventions are necessary not only to meet the immediate need but to position the organization for success in the future.
• We identify what capacity building approaches are best. 

The difference FVI makes:

• Bring sustainable interventions with long term effects.
• Assess the latent capacity of recipients and help and provide supports that lead towards sustainability.
• Build capacity: In doing this we will leave empowered communities who are agents of change, able to use homegrown solutions. 

Accountability/Oversight

• Our Board of Directors provide program, operational and reporting oversight.
• On the ground, we have professional contacts providing constant qualifying, feedback and oversight of programs.
• FVI utilizes annual audits to ensure accountability and transparency.

  The FVI Model

Using a need identification process, our model brings together the praying recipient, praying FVI members / supporters and resources commissioned by God. FVI will achieve its goals on a case by case basis by designing programs of giving so that each need receives the support that it most requires to achieve results.
