The Emergency Gift Fund operates very simply with three major principles:

[1] It operates on an as-need basis: that is the "GREATER NEED" receives the Freely Granted Gift when our resources are low.

[2] First-Request-First-Receive: When needs of approximately equal crisis status apply, the one Requesting-First, Receives First.

[3] Freely Granted Gifts can ONLY be given as resources are available!

Some months the income for the Emergency Gift Fund is high, and the requests for needs by Ministers in Crisis are few. More often, however, it is the opposite.

How Ministers-Best-Friend.com Evaluates Needs of Ministers in Crisis!

[1] Ministers who have contributed to the Emergency Gift Fund are selected over those who have not contributed.

[2] Married Ministers - with children - are selected over single ministers, or ministers without children.

[3] Full-time Ministers are selected over part-time Ministers.

[4] Younger Ministers are selected over older Ministers as younger Ministers most likely have longer to serve the Lord Jesus!

[5] However, older Ministers in Bible School or Seminary are selected over younger Ministers in Bible School or Seminary, as the older Minister in School indicates 'SUPERIOR COMMITMENT'.

[6] Pastors of smaller ministries are selected over those with larger ministries, as the larger ministry offers more possibilities for finances to help the Minister in Crisis.
