Resource Ministry To meet the needs of families, resources must be accumulated in advance. Examples are food and clothing, but it should not stop there. The church should have contact with businesses that can provide part-time or temporary work. One of the most effective ways to test the spirit of people who can t find work is to help them find it. Other resources include the availability of legal or accounting advice, medical and dental care, and a number of well-trained financial counselors who will work with these families.
Accountability is an essential part of any good benevolence program.
No successful benevolence program will happen until God s people in the local church decide to get involved and make it happen.
