| | Where to give of our finances? | | I think I have heard of others mention about a couple of ministries that print bibles to give away and others that support the needy...children and such. Would anyone know of some trustworthy ministries that when we give that we can feel confident that the money will be given to the need instead of 80% going to the administration and 20% going to the need.
Appreciate some recommendations..
blessings

Paul Washer is the president of this missionary society. They support godly indigenous missionaries in several countries. I have been encouraged, blessed, and challenged by the transparency of their ministry. They also make very clear that their dependence is on God, and that they trust him to supply their needs rather than sending out many appeals for money. Based on everything I know of this ministry, I would wholeheartedly recommend it. |

For what? giving or not to giving? Or do you mean the recipients?

You know I haven't thought of them...I have thought about that in the past and completely forgot...I do appreciate how they support and train missionaries.
thanks

| | Re: | | Another ministry that may also get neglected in giving is e-Sword. The work put into that free product has been a service to thousands of Christians.

| | Re: | | Gospel For Asia seems like a trustworthy cause to me. K. P. Yohannan wrote a book which you may have read called "Revolution in World Missions". He gives it for free at www.gfa.org if you want to check it out.
Also what comes to mind is Voice of the Martyrs (www.persecution.com) which is geared more toward the persecuted believers around the world.
Praise God for your willingness to give! God loves a hilarious giver :).

Yes, all the above. It is God's money, after all. |

I have heard that Heart Cry has actually started to turn away people from giving because they have met so much of their need and beyond.
Here are some GREAT organizations to give your money to where alittle money will go a long way! Surely in the time of recession the best place to put your money is in the kingdom of God.
Gospel For Asia: www.gfa.org
Orphans Tear: http://www.heavensfamily.org/ot/
ChildCry: http://www.childcrynyc.org/
I personally can vouch for all 3 of these ministries that the money is almost ENTIRELY used to preach the gospel and care for the poor!
