What
is Love INC?
A: Love In the Name of Christ is a proven outreach model or strategy
that helps church volunteers help their neighbors. It's one of the most
effective management, mobilization, and networking tools available to
churches today. Over 9000 churches operating through 140 Love INC
affiliates in 30
states have successfully operating Love INC organizations.
Using the Love INC model, local
churches come together as a network. It's a cooperative effort that
makes a lasting impact on individuals, families, and children living in
poverty.
Why do communities need Love
INC?
A: Private and government agencies provide many services, but they by
no means meet today's growing demand of needs. Love INC's network of
resources, skills, and volunteers helps close the gaps. More
disadvantaged individuals are rebuilding their lives while costing
communities less, thanks to Love INC.
Why do churches need Love INC?
A: Jesus gave us the great commission to love one another. Love INC
helps you turn that love into action. Many people never find an
appropriate place to serve within their church. Love INC uses all the
skills and talents a congregation has to offer. Time and again, Love
INC volunteers tell how this type of service to others enriches and
changes their life.
Why does Love INC work?
A: There is an untapped army of volunteers in local churches who are
ready, willing, and able to build relationships with those in need.
Love INC gives volunteers safe, manageable, and time-limited
opportunities to put their Christian faith and love to work.
How does Love INC work?
A: Love INC takes a "clearinghouse" approach. All resources and calls
for help are funneled through the local clearinghouse. Here requests
are screened and matched with the most appropriate source for help.
Who benefits from Love INC?
A: People in need are provided with supportive relationships and
sources for help. Local churches organize to more fully minister to
their congregations and neighborhoods.
