Connecting Caring Persons With neighbors in need since 1983.

About In His Name Ministries -- we do lengthy interviews with approximately two thousand persons each year. Most of these individuals have critical financial needs. Donations given to our general fund are used to help many of these families.

Only about 75 of cases, on average, are put on the web each year.

We present these web cases to inform viewers and give them the chance to designate who will benefit from their donation. However, this is only a small part of the overall outreach of this ministry.

After you read stories of need on this web, you have the choice of selecting one (or more) to help, or to send a donation to the ministry that will be used to help one of the many unpublicized cases.

Poverty Wage At Hotel

We're concerned about a single mother with a young son , and two daughters ages 16, and 17.

She is employed Crown Plaza in a job that is less than full time. Many employers do this.

She receives low rent housing which is a life-saver for her. Still, she suffers. For instance, her car is not running. She cannot afford the repair cost; so, she pays someone to drive her to work.

AN ASPECT OF POVERTY IS THE COST OF OPERATING AND MAINTAINING A CAR WHICH OFTEN UNDERCUTS A MEAGER BUDGET. WE ADVISE SOME PERSONS TO RIDE THE BUS. FOR SOME CLIENTS, HOWEVER, A CAR IS VIRTUALLY A NECESSITY.

When her electric service was turned off, she spent over half her take home pay to partially catch up.
Assistance with OG&E $374.00 service was disconnected last Wednesday. She paid $324.00, leaving a deficit of $50.00. Now she has nothing for various other living expenses.
She has contacted Salvation Army, Quail Springs Baptist, Peoples Church, Shepherd's of Love. None of these have helped.

HER FAITH

She reads her Bible sometimes. Prays daily. She attends St. John's Baptist Church.
OUR MINISTRY TO HER

We shall to continue our conversations with her to encourage her as she strives to normalize her life.

Please consider helping.
