Benevolence Help

The House of Blessing is a benevolence ministry of Harvest Assembly. Benevolence is defined as an act of kindness or generosity. It is our desire to minister to those in need and severe distress, like inadequate food supply and basic emergency needs. The Bible makes it clear that we must serve the needy without enabling a person who is unwilling to work. It is our desire to assist people in unfortunate circumstances without creating greater dependencies.
