 ur commitment to God and to our donors regarding money. Our Financial Commitment
We believe very much in the power of prayer and we trust that God is the ultimate provider for everything we do.
"Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand" (1 Chronicles 29:14b).
We also realize that God often provides by moving on the hearts of people who are willing and eager to see his work accomplished. In that light, we are glad to share our needs with others who may be interested in this work.
Because we receive resources for ministry through individual donors, we recognize our accountability both to Him and to our donors, and our responsibility to be faithful stewards and to maintain integrity and openness in our financial practices. Therefore, we are committed to fulfilling the following standards:
- We subscribe to a written statement of faith clearly affirming our commitment to the evangelical Christian doctrine. Advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the singular objective of our financial conduct.
- We are an incorporated, non-profit 501(c)(3) religious organization governed by a responsible Board of Directors which meets regularly to pray, set directions, oversee budgets, and review ministry accomplishments.
- We provide copies of our current financial statements upon request.
- Our fund-raising appeals clearly identify the purpose and programs to which donations will be applied, and we ensure that donations are used for the purposes for which they were raised.
- Contributions to the ministry are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. In order to help our donors determine the tax-deductible portion of their gifts, we send receipts for all donations showing the fair market value of any goods or services provided to the donor.
- Out of respect for individuals' privacy, we do not sell or rent our mailing list to other groups wishing to use the names and addresses of our supporters. We maintain tight security on our list of friends and supporters.
