FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about our ministries.
What is the main emphasis of Honoring God Ministries?
The main emphasis is p romoting unity in the Body of Christ (Messiah) through our different ministries in which we share the love of God with those around us who may be hurting and in need. Jesus prayed for the unity of all believers who would come after the disciples in John 17. We believe the unity of all believers is very important. We feel strongly that God does not just want us to promote this ideal but to model unity as we serve in hands on ministry and invite others to join us in ministry and unity.
How can we have unity since everyone has different beliefs?
We believe unity doesn't require us to be exact copies of each other. Unity is when we care and love for each other without judging regardless of our differences. Unity is accepting each other's differences and loving them and serving them regardless of those differences.
How can I be a part of this ministry?
I am glad you asked. You can be an important part of this ministry by doing any of the following:
1. We believe strongly in the power of prayer. Begin now to pray for unity in the Body of Christ (Messiah). Please pray for God's guidance and provision in this ministry.
2. Share this ministry with your friends and online buddies--spread the word about unity and this ministry.
3. Give us feedback--tell us what we can do to minister to you.
4. Become a prayer warrior with us and join in the forum community to keep up with current prayer requests.
5. Offer financial support--even though the purpose of this WEB site is not to ask for money, we do have financial needs that we are trusting God to provide. If you have spent time in prayer about this and feel strongly that God is leading you to give to this ministry you can contact us through E-mail or snail mail.
6. Pastors can join PATHWAY (Pastoral Alliance to Honor Worship Adore Yeshua) and work to promote unity and support other pastors in our alliance.
How is this ministry funded?
We are trusting God to provide all funds for this ministry. We are not pursuing any government funding or grants from secular foundations for any of the ministries of Honoring God Ministries (Youth Program, etc.). We feel strongly that we must put our trust in God and stay away from the restrictions and time consuming reports required by government agencies. In trusting God we are believing God is going to provide the money to do all of the ministry he has told us to do.
If you believe God is telling you to help fund this ministry please do the following:
1. Pray about it first, then, pray some more. This will accomplish at least two things. First, you will be helping us greatly by spending time in prayer about our ministry (the most important thing you can do for us) and second, you will avoid giving on impulse but will give based on the direction of the Holy Spirit.
2. Learn about our ministries and consider what part of our ministry you want to help or feel God leading you to help. My wife and I have worked in agencies where money was donated to a specific program but in the end that money was not used for what it was given. We believe this is wrong. We believe if you pray about giving and you want to give to a certain ministry that is where the money should go. If you choose to give without specifying where the money should go we will pray about it and examine our budget and distribute the money where we feel the need is greatest.
3. Contact us for more information. Send an Emil at any of the links around the web site. We want you to be informed about our ministries. It is impossible to anticipate every question you may have. Please contact us and ask your questions.
4. After praying and getting all questions answered if you still believe that God wants you to support this ministry then give with confidence, knowing that God is going to use your gift to bless someone in need.
5. If after praying you feel God wants you to give to a specific ministry that is different than one of our ministries go elsewhere and give to a ministry where God is leading you. If you are unsure where to find that ministry feel free to ask us and we will help you pray about it and give you any information about that ministry we may have. We believe that each child of God has a purpose and if your purpose is to give elsewhere then we want to help you. We will praise the Lord for your desire to give to Him.
