Intellectual Property and Copyright

Unless otherwise noted, the content on this website—including text, sermons, teaching materials, graphics, logos, and the “God Sent Ministries” name—is the property of the Ministry or used with permission, and is protected by copyright and trademark laws. You may view, download, and print content for personal, non-commercial, and ministry use, provided you do not remove any copyright or other notices and do not alter the content. Any other use requires our prior written permission.

Scripture notice. Scripture quotations on this website are taken from publicly available and licensed Bible translations and are used for teaching, worship, and devotional purposes. Each translation remains the property of its respective copyright holder.

Submissions and Communications

When you send us a prayer request, comment, testimony, or other message, you grant us permission to use it for ministry purposes such as prayer and pastoral care. Please do not submit confidential or sensitive information you do not wish to share. We treat prayer requests and personal messages with care, but communications over the internet are not guaranteed to be private or secure.

Giving and Donations

Thank you for partnering with God Sent Ministries through your generosity. Your gifts make it possible to preach the gospel, disciple believers, and serve through our evangelism, hospital, prison, and orphanage outreach ministries. The following terms apply to all gifts.

Tax-Deductible Contributions

God Sent Ministries is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (EIN 39-4463658). Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. No goods or services are provided in exchange for a contribution unless otherwise stated at the time of the gift. Please retain your receipt and consult your tax advisor regarding deductibility in your situation.

How Gifts Are Used

Your gifts support the general ministry, mission, and operations of God Sent Ministries. You may designate a gift toward a specific fund or outreach when that option is offered. Consistent with IRS requirements for tax-deductible giving, the Ministry retains full discretion and control over the use of all contributions, including designated gifts, to ensure they are applied to the ministry purposes for which they were given.

Ways to Give

Online through our website using a debit or credit card or other available method;
In person during a service;
By mail to the address listed below.

Recurring Gifts

If you set up a recurring (automatic) gift, it will continue on the schedule you select until you change or cancel it. You may update or cancel a recurring gift at any time through your online giving account or by contacting us, and we will stop future scheduled gifts going forward.

Refunds

Because donations are voluntary gifts to a tax-exempt ministry, they are generally non-refundable. We understand, however, that mistakes happen—for example, a duplicate gift, an incorrect amount, or an unauthorized transaction. If you believe an error has occurred, please contact us within fifteen (15) days of the gift. We will review the request and, where appropriate, issue a correction or refund to the original payment method. If a refund is issued, any related contribution receipt will be adjusted so that your records and ours remain accurate for tax purposes.

Receipts and Year-End Statements

You will receive a receipt for your gift, and we provide year-end giving statements summarizing your tax-deductible contributions. Please keep your contact information current so we can send your statements to the right place.

Spiritual Content Is Not Professional Advice

Content on this website—including sermons, teaching, articles, and pastoral encouragement—is offered for spiritual and informational purposes. It is not a substitute for professional medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Please consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.

Our website may link to third-party websites and services that we do not control, such as our online giving platform or live-stream provider. We provide these links for convenience and do not endorse, and are not responsible for, the content, products, or practices of those third parties. Your use of any linked site is at your own risk and subject to that site’s terms.
