The Jesus Purse
a way to remember to
help a needy person.
Involve
to sa ve
coins and loose bills. It is an example and a reminder of how small
things done over time can significantly impact another.
At your home, the Jesus Purse
could be placed on your kitchen counter or on a bookshelf so
everyone in the family could see it and participate. Even a visitor
to your home may be intrigued and donate. Concern for
the poor is always a valid topic.
It may take you a month or
longer to fill the bag.
Whenever you’re ready, convert
the money to a check at your bank. Most banks will separate and count
your coins.

Deciding who to give it to
could be an important part of the family project.
Go to IHNM’s web to view current
cases of need. These are frequently updated stories of persons who
we have interviewed, advised and prayed with.
Tell us which case number and we
will use your gift to help that particular family.
