They are active participants in the life of our body, and as such they have both blessed our congregation with their expertise in family ministry and have given us the opportunity to see their character and their integrity first-hand. We have every confidence that our gifts to their ministry are handled uprightly and are stewarded fruitfully for the sake of the Kingdom."
Chris Lipp, McKinney Church, Fort Worth, Texas

"I'm proud to say I'm a supporter of Son Shine Ministries. As a business owner, you are approached by many people for support but not always certain about how your donations will be used. Son Shine Ministries operates with complete honesty and transparency. On a personal level, we have known the staff for many years as well and think very highly of them. There is something special about giving to an organization and then actually seeing how it operates professionally and in the community as well."
Haley Carter, State Farm Insurance, Azle, Texas
"God used Son Shine Ministries to change us and save our marriage. We are not the only ones! We have seen countless marriages rescued through the unchanging message of Jesus that the staff of Son Shine Ministries so faithfully shares. We believe our financial gifts to this ministry directly reach into lives to bring the truth of God's Word, to equip with biblical knowledge, to offer the hope of restoration, and to bring renewed intimacy to marriages."
Mike & Connie Gilbride, Sioux Falls, South Dakota
"I give to Son Shine Ministries in full faith, knowing the donation will be handled in a manner of Christian stewardship. I give because the programs build stronger families and churches locally. Programs have been given at military installations, where family relationships are stressed by some of the most challenging circumstances. I'm proud to support Son Shine's efforts toward those who serve. I give cheerfully to Son Shine when they ask and also when God lays it on my heart."
Audra Vandiver, Fort Worth, Texas
Your Story
Matthew 6:21 records Jesus' statement, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." It is true. Whenever we invest in something, we typically are more involved with it and care more about it. We call our donors "partners" because we could not do what we do without them. They are invested. They are praying for our work. Their hearts are with us. We are deeply grateful!
