Benevolence

Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.”  Proverbs 14:31

 

The purpose of the Benevolence Ministry at the Lake of The Woods Church is to rally together and extend aid to not only our fellow brothers and sisters in our church family but also those in the community during times of financial crises in order to demonstrate and promote Christ’s free gift of love and grace.  This is done through an interview process which enables us to learn more about the candidate and to see what aid would be best for their situation.  We assist in paying bills that the candidate may be behind on, offering gas and grocery cards, helping them find transportation or even housing and offering them financial counseling and accountability.
