HOW DOES LOVE INC WORK?

Step One: Request for Help- People who need food, clothing, shelter, budgeting assistance, emotional and family support- all kinds of needs- are referred to the Love INC office by churches, agencies, and others who know of the ministry.

Step Two: Analyzing the Need(s)- Love INC works cooperatively with the person or family and local agencies to analyze the need.  Is it legitimate?  What is involved?  How can help be best provided?  What does the person really need?  What are the underlying causes?

Step Three: The Helping Church- Requests for services not available through local agencies will be referred to a Love INC Church Ministry Coordinator to identify the volunteer or resources, within their church, best suited to meet the need.  A volunteer is assigned to start a helping relationship.  For a list of our current Member Churches click here.

Step Four: Follow-up- The Love INC office follows up with the Church Ministry Coordinator and the person with the original request to make certain that the helping experience achieved its goal.

REACHING OUT TO HELP

Mobilizing Church Members   Love INC enables churches to identify their members' God-given gifts and skills through the use of a talent inventory (Time & Talent Survey).  Volunteers are called to serve only in those areas they have selected on the talent survey.  To request a Time & Talent Survey, please contact the Love INC office.

Multiplying A Church's Ministry   Love INC's referral network links together the existing resources of all the local churches in a way that expands their effectiveness.

Enlisting The Help Of Agencies   Love INC's networking approach brings an unprecedented amount of cooperation between the local churches, the government, profit and non-profit agencies.

Making A Difference   Love INC enables people to meet real needs In the Name of Christ.  Please consider how you and your church can join the network of Christian love.

"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.  And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.  If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?  Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."  I John 3:16-18 NIV
