APOSTOLIC CHRISTIAN LIFEPOINTS

www.aclifepoints.org

We have been blessed by the support and love of the brotherhood since 1971 when the agency started services. We depend on this support to allow us to serve as God would have us to serve, and to be obedient to His call and His Word. We are moved daily by the love, support, prayers and donations from the brotherhood.

1. We are grateful to be one of the national missions of the Apostolic Christian Church and are very grateful for the high level of commitment we feel from the church.

2 The expenses and revenues for LifePoints are all changed in response to the needs related to the COVID crisis. We are impressed with the response of the State and Federal government supporting some     additional funding and this has been helpful in meeting the costs of assuring adequate staff for the needs related to this crisis.

3. We do not know what our “new normal” will be in terms of services or funding so we are grateful for the ongoing generosity of all of our supporters.

4. Donations will continue to be used for the following:

a. Serving church-related clients: To provide funding for clients who are not eligible for Medicaid funds but for whom we are committed to serve because they are church related clients.

b. Funding shortfall: To make up the difference between the amounts reimbursed by Medicaid and the actual costs of serving our clients.

c. Staff stabilization: To allow us to pay competitive wages and benefits to assure sufficient and quality staff.

d. Capital Needs: To accommodate the need for periodic renovations, improvements, and new capital projects.

We are thankful to be a part of a church that supports those in need. We have often been told to make our needs known and if there is a need for greater financial support we should make that known. Many people have said they were willing and want to be a part of assuring there is sufficient support. We are deeply grateful to know this is true.
