IN HIS NAME MINISTRIES OFTEN-ASKED QUESTIONS "HOW MUCH OF MY DONATION GOES TO CLIENTS?" All of a donor's donation, if he requests it. On our web site, the donations received for cases ALL goes to pay utility or rent. However, the outreach consists of more than paying household bills. · personalized attention, · prayer, counsel and ministry of love to clients, some of whom have no really reliable friends. A governing board oversees the ministry. If someone asks how can you trust IHNM, a good answer is "They do no fund raising. They send out a monthly newsletter, and they pray and trust God to provide. They want to be in His good graces and would be apprehensive about doing anything that is not honest and forthright." THOSE WHO WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE. The scoundrels and liars who are just looking for a handout. Our ministry to these requires more creativity. Many years experience serves IHNM well. 1. We do not write checks immediately. A few days delay and further interviews may help us recognize abusers. 2. Checks are written to utility companies or rental agents, not given to clients. 3. We are driven to know who we should aid, not driven by fear of abusers. 4. We can give aid only to about 12-15% of those who apply so we strive to spend wisely. 5. We show Gods love in other ways besides paying bills 6. God knows our hearts. Dee Stribling, Co-Founder
