  AUTHORITY, NATURE, AND PURPOSE

The Divine commission and authority for this Ministry is found in and founded upon the sixty-six canonical books of the Protestant Christian Holy Bible, which is the very Word of God to mankind, as set forth more fully herein in the Ministry’s Statement of Faith.

The nature of said Ministry is religious, and as a religious corporation it shall also have the authority to function as a religious, charitable, benevolent, eleemosynary, and educational corporation, with the goal of making a positive impact, through the practical application of the Gospel of Christ, on all members of society of humanity, individually and collectively, worldwide, with a special focus and emphasis on ministering to persons with disabilities and their caregivers by means of and through local churches, church organizations, mission boards and other Christian organizations.

The purpose of the Ministry, which is to be broadly construed, primarily includes, but it is not limited to, the following activities:

1. To educate local churches, and the Church as a whole, concerning the spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, economic and accessibility needs of the disability community in the United States and abroad.

2. To assist local churches in assimilating persons with disabilities and their caregivers into the overall ministry of the said churches, either as providers of charitable, benevolent, educational and spiritual services, or as recipients of charitable, benevolent, educational and spiritual services.

3. To spiritually edify and educate the disability community in the United States and worldwide by providing, by every legitimate means and technology available, encouragement, counseling, devotional materials, educational materials, and a vision of what God is doing globally.

4. To provide specialized resources, and other necessary resources, to the disability community in the United States and worldwide.

5. To network with other Christian ministries focusing on benevolent, charitable, religious, educational and eleemosynary activities for the disability community in the United States and worldwide.

 

The Ministry shall operate exclusively for religious, charitable, educational, benevolent and eleemosynary purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding provision of any future United States Internal Revenue law.
