Why is Jody Kennedy
International called a "faith" ministry? |
|
|
This simply means that we do not receive a full-time salary from
any church or organization. Instead, we rely on God to provide for us
through his people. God leads individuals, churches and organizations to
support this type of ministry. We let people know of our needs through
letters, phone calls, speaking engagements, email, personal contacts,
and our newsletters. Then we simply wait on God to provide. These
finances are used to supply our living and ministry expenses, which
allows us to devote our full time and energy to ministry.
