IN HIS NAME MINISTRIES, INC.

The Jesus Purse

a way to remember to

help a needy person.

Involve

• family members

• people at work or

• people in your Bible study or

• prayer cluster

to save 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.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO ON THE INTERNET
