The Street People -

This ministry does not generally aid street people, but those in homes: the elderly, sick, disabled, and single working parents.

Tangible Expressions of Love

Gifts from donors allow IHNM, Inc., to 

• pay part of an outstanding bill (to the utility company, rental agent, etc.)

• buy prescriptions, 

• pay for household plumbing repairs, 

• purchase and mail Bibles and other materials.

Their Agenda / Our Agenda 

What Kind of Help?

"Throwing money" at a situation does not really help; but wisely using money convincingly demonstrates God's love to someone who is financially distressed. Jesus often spoke of giving money to the poor. He said doing so builds up treasure in heaven. So the one who shares resources benefits himself as well as the recipient. 

Through In His Name Ministries' Gratitude letter, other mailings and in telephone conversations, clients are pointed to biblical principles, and practical advice. We hope they are encouraged. 

Some ministry helpers agree to purchase and deliver groceries. This personal touch is a good way to meet the people who need a godly friend.

An Exceptional Example:

Harold S. who first took some groceries to a single parent, later paid her tuition to a trade school, and helped keep the woman's car running. She completed the program and became self-sufficient.

Another person sends IHNM a check each month as relief for a disabled grandmother who is raising a child whose mother died.

Sometimes needy people are introduced to one another, when it seems appropriate. Loneliness is a common factor, so introducing them to a new friend is beneficial.

Spiritual Values

Most clients are willing to talk about spiritual issues and those who don't are, nevertheless, reminded that the God who created them does have a plan for them. They are urged to find at least one Christian friend, join a Bible study or a church fellowship. We are amazed that some persons, even those who have attended church, have never been prayed for. We have faith in the truth that “when two or three are gathered together in Jesus name, He is there in the midst of us.” — from Matthew 18:20

Many persons have been led to make a decision to repent and to ask Christ into their lives. To these we mail a Billy Graham Association packet and follow up with other materials. Associates of the ministry may invite the one they have helped to their church fellowship.
