The Church
The church doorstep
is a frequent destination for people in desperate need. But most
churches cannot fully meet the needs of every homeless family,
single mom or hungry child who asks them for help.
Or can they?
Love INC
enables churches and ministries in a community to pool their
resources and outreach services so that those in need are not turned
away.
Purpose
Love INC has its purpose
to:
-
Help
churches inventory their "people potential" and other assets.
-
Match
willing volunteers and resources to corresponding people with
needs.
-
Maintain a high level of success by creating a central
clearinghouse to screen requests, eliminate duplicate services
between community agencies and churches, and facilitate
collaboration and shared resources among those in the Love INC
network.
As churches show
Christ's love to their neighbors, communities see exciting results:
-
Families in need receive immediate and long-term help.
-
Church members use their gifts and talents in hands-on
ministry.
-
Local churches come together, modeling the unity of the Body
of Christ.
-
Communities are transformed.
