Open Hand Ministries,
Inc.
www.ohm-inc.org
Financial Policy
This is a grace-oriented ministry and therefore
there is no charge for its materials. And, too, a believer must
never be hindered in his spiritual growth for a lack of funds,
nor stumble over the concept of giving if he has an honest skepticism.
Furthermore, this ministry does not promise God will bless you
for any other reason than Christ's own righteousness in you,
and your reaching spiritual maturity. For it is the mature who
give-not to get, but to bless (Acts 20:35). Hence, the symbolism
of open hand- to bless others as God has blessed us (Dt.
15:7-10,14).
Therefore, when a believer sees the importance of a ministry,
of his own free will he will "beg earnestly for the grace,
favor and privilege to take part" in the support of that
ministry which is "fully supplying the needs of the saints,"
(2 Cor. 8:3-4;9:12). This not only insures the integrity of the
ministry, and keeps it free from the need of engaging in fund-rasing
tactics or the shameful practice of pleading for support, but
keeps the focus of believer and minister alike on the Lord Jesus
Christ, "who is able to make all grace abound" (2 Cor.
9:8) to those who believe.
