Share the Love INC with Your Community

No one ever transformed the world by focusing solely on their own needs. It takes a holistic approach that affirms and inspires every individual in the community, and that’s exactly what Love in the Name of Christ (or Love INC for short) aims to do.

This nonprofit has a national presence and is quite active across Michigan as well. Discover how they link churches, volunteers, and service agencies to reach out to the poor and disadvantaged.

Relieve Material, Emotional, and Relational Poverty

Love INC knows well that when you mobilize churches, you can transform lives and communities. Lots of organizations give “stuff”—Love INC does its fair share of that too—but very few have the training to help people change the paths they’re on for the better.

Love INC is here to help churches spread their skills, gifts, and resources to those in need—not to act as a replacement for the church but as an amplifier. Their philosophy encourages church members to look outward and find themselves doing things they’ve never done before to help those in need.

The Model of Love INC: A Relational Ministry

Relationships are at the center of Love INC’s work. Starting with the relationships between church volunteers and neighbors in need, good work allows communities to flourish. There are five interconnected “modes” of the ministry at Love INC:

• Clearinghouse Ministry: Receives and screens requests for help.
• Gap Ministry: Identifies “gaps” in serving and resources in the community.
• Transformational Ministry: Equips church members to mentor and lead life-skill classes.
• Comprehensive Transformational Ministry: Provides those in need with skills, goals, emotional support, and a full array of church resources.
• Community Transformational Ministry: Engages local governments and advocates for community-wide solutions.

Love INC: A Resource for Communities in Need

Every day, the people who work with Love INC strive to humbly serve, learn from, and offer leadership for the communities in which they operate. It’s about more than just “stuff”—it’s about emotional and spiritual transformation and community engagement.

If you know someone who could use a little Love INC in their life, encourage them to reach out to a call center in their area. You can connect with them on Facebook to learn more.
