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 may select one (or more) to help, or send a donation to the ministry that will be used to help one of the many unpublicized cases.

Case 8494pat

Recently moved to Oklahoma from Florida

Fraud Further Hurts
Displaced Family
 

Fraudulent practices of tradesmen is one reason our clients suffer.  Unscrupulous people take advantage of the weak.

  Some persons can make adjustments and move on. But not everyone. Pat’s dilemma is a case in point.
  They moved to Oklahoma from Florida to start a new life. The man now works for a bottling company. His income puts them right on the edge of poverty -- meaning there isn't enough to cover all the basic household needs.

  His wife is a stay at home mother, but she may need to find a part-time job.
  They have had no car for a year until someone gave them one recently. It needed a timing chain. A “disreputable” auto shop required cash up front. They used a refund check to pay in advance for the repair. And then when she went to pick it up it wouldn't start and the interior had been vandalized on their lot. The owner disavowed responsibility for the damage and said the mechanic was not authorized to take the cash.  He had taken her cash and departed. He had told her he was the owner/mgr. At our request they plan to file a police report and to inform the District Attorney’s office.
  Be part of God’s answered prayer for Pat.

  New cases of need come to our attention daily. We use general funds to pay all or part of the most pressing client needs. However, there often is not enough to help all of those we want to. This special notice allows us to focus on this family’s utility and the auto repairs. All funds sent to case 8494pat will go toward their needs.^1.
