IGN's primary goal is to create experiences through which people are inspired to take steps towards living a passionate life of serving others, and who will choose to make significant contributions in the fight against global poverty, injustice and oppression. Each of the core strategies are designed to facilitate people in a process of self discovery, as well as increase their awareness of others, how to serve them or participate in the alleviation of the global realities of poverty in which the vast majority of the world live.
At several points in every person's life, one must face the questions regarding life's origin, (Where did I come from?), life's purpose, (Why am I here?), life's journey (Where am I going?), and life's destination, (What happens after I die?). IGN desires to be a part of inviting people deeper into this reflective process and to make resources available to assist people who are working through these questions. Without these resources, millions of people succumb to a life of uninspired mediocrity, vocational misery, and selfish living based on a mentality of survival, living paycheck to paycheck, as they cope and numb themselves with unhealthy habits, substances and an excess of consumption. Meanwhile, billions of other people lack the basic necessities to sustain their physical existence, much less have the opportunity to pursue meaningful work or have the chance to speak out against their own oppression.
People are holistic beings with a mind, body and spirit. Therefore, IGN developed multiple strategies which make up a holistic process in order to help people discover, develop and deploy their skills in alignment with their passions in the fight against poverty, injustice and oppression. As people become more self-aware, they discover their connection to the world, to others and to their Creator. Becoming self-aware and "others-aware" then increases one's sense of responsibility to take better care of the resources with which all people have been entrusted-- quality of life and the holistic health (mind, body and spirit) of oneself and others, along with the resources of the natural environment upon which all people depend.
