| Latar belakang dan tujuan: Landasan berdirinya LPPS pada tahun 1968 adalah panggilan hati nurani dalam mewujudkan keutamaan Ilahi yakni iman-harapan-kasih, sebab diyakini bahwa sehebat-hebatnya karya sosial tanpa landasan tersebut, hanyalah penipuan. Lembaga ini mempunyai misi tidak mendidik masyarakatnya untuk berjiwa pengemis, sekalipun ada dana bantuan dari negara berkembang ke negara miskin. Sedangkan tujuannya adalah ikut serta mengembangkan seluruh masyarakat Indonesia dalam segala aspek hidupnya, termasuk mengarahkan usaha swadaya, serta mengefektifkan upaya memperoleh dana untuk usaha-usaha pengembangan manusia. |
