The Vision

Stay Free is a Bible question and answer program for the internet, radio and television. Listeners and viewers will be able to support the program through their free will donations as they become involved by submitting and receiving the answers to their questions and forwarding to others. A free quarterly booklet is in the planning to include the daily radio and television program questions and answers.

Fund-Raising Guidelines

We believe that the way an organization handles itself in the financial arena is a reflection of its integrity in every arena. We have, therefore, established strict limitations on the way our resources are used. Here are the policies that are set to guided us:

1. This ministry belongs to God. It is neither a monument or a legacy to anyones ego or memory.

2. The Lord has apparently chosen to place His mantle of approval on the ministry of StayFree. Nevertheless, He gives and sometimes takes away. If He ever closes the doors to this work, we will accept His leadings and yield the outcome to Him. Until then, we will devote every ounce of energy to the task at hand.

3. One of the ways we can discern the Lord's will regarding the continuation of our work is through the support He sends (or doesn't send) from His people. Therefore, during lean times we will make our obligations known to our friends — but we will not claw for contributions. We will never resort to what we consider to be disrespectful and dishonorable methods of fund-raising, even when the needs are serious.

4. We will ask people not to support StayFree or any other Christian program until their obligations to the local church have been met. The church is the first line of defense for the family.

5. We will never sell or rent our mailing list to those wishing to use the names and addresses of our supporters. Those individuals contacted us in good faith, and if they wanted to receive mail from other organizations, I'm sure they would ask for it. We will maintain the tightest security on our list of friends and supporters.

6.To summarize, we will try to remember always that Jesus Christ is our possessor and our dispossessor. He ordained and blessed this ministry. It belongs entirely to Him.
