Proverbs 19:17

If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord— and he will repay you! (New Living Translation)


Why Do We Call Them Love Stories?

Periodically, we publish stories of Love INC clients and call them Love Stories. Someone asked why we called them that, when that name could so easily be misunderstood. You could see that the person was thinking in terms of Love Story magazines, etc.

The answer is easy. It is because Love Stories is exactly what they are --- but stories of the only kind of true and lasting Love there is --- the Love of Jesus, shown from Him to us and then through us to others.

They not only illustrate what Love In the Name of Christ does and how the ministry helps churches to help people in need, but they also illustrate changes that this Love makes in the recipients’ lives.

The following is a Love Story waiting to happen:

A school counselor called the Love INC office saying a family needed “some” help. Love INC staff asked him to encourage the couple to call so that the application process could start. This is about a young couple who purchased a travel trailer and are trying to turn it into a home for themselves, their 3 children and the one on the way. Recently the mom developed some complications in her pregnancy and the dad’s hours were cut to 15 hours a week. The need is greater than the school counselor imagined. The one project (of several in progress) they most immediately want to finish is the shower. They have been unable to purchase the shower board and fixtures. An estimated cost of needed materials is $ 50-75.
