The CAS Vision
The mission of
the CAS Foundation, Inc. is to provide logistics services
and various types of support to mission organizations in a manner
that allows them to better execute their mission while reducing
their costs whenever possible.
Supplement to the
mission statement:
 |
Doing the above as a secular
organization. |
|
|
Using business practices to
combine efforts by various organizations so that the whole
may benefit. |
|
|
CAS Foundation, Inc. will not
replace mission efforts of other groups, but will supplement
these efforts wherever possible, using the unique resources available to the Foundation.
|
|
|
Pursuing additional uses for the
assets of the foundation, i.e. medical, dental, wellness
education, water testing, etc. |
|
|
Pursue fundraising and endowment
activities so that operations can
become more self-supporting. |
Foundation Fundamentals
The ship is to be used for the following
purposes:
A. Disaster Relief
To provide a platform for:
1. Transporting needed materials.
2. Transporting and providing for the care and lodging of
workers.
3. Provide a base of operations for relief operations.
4. Offload water, electrical service, and fuel where needed.
5. Provide first response/stabilization medical services and
 treatment.
B. Humanitarian/mission support
Provide the above listed services in a non-emergency situation.
C. Training
Provide in co-operation with universities, seminaries, and medical
schools, a platform for training workers in various fields using
“hands on” techniques.
D. Medical services
Provide health services to those in need, including heath screening,
treatment compatible with available resources, and eye care and
dental services.
E. Health education
Provide education to local people and health care givers, including
disease management, proper testing and treatment of illnesses, well
baby care, and AIDS/HIV protocols.
F. Water safety and testing
G. Evangelism
To the extent permitted by the organization funding that trip,
evangelism and witnessing through personal contact, VBS type
activities and Jesus film.
Long
Term Goals
We ultimately intend to have four or five locations where these
ships can operate in an “area” of operations. We would also
anticipate in the long term to have the ships supported in some
operations by one or more aircraft of various appropriate types.
The primary areas of operation would be the Caribbean, South and
Eastern Africa, South Pacific, (with a possible additional ship
between these two areas if warranted) and Alaska (serving Alaska,
Western Canada and Eastern Russia).
These ships are most cost effective to keep in a defined area;
therefore, they will meet the workers and crew and others in the
region and then go to the area of operation.
