Review for Oakseed Ministries International, Wheaton, IL, USA
My family and I have been partnering with Oakseed Ministries International as donors for over 15 years, and I've been serving as a board member for about four years. We've always been impressed with the thoughtful, intentional way that Oakseed seeks to accomplish its mission, which is by assisting existing indigenous ministries through prayer, financial donations, pastoral encouragement, training, and other means. Those indigenous ministries are often in the best positions to see the mercy needs and most effective ways of meeting those needs. Oakseed limits the amount of financial support to those individual ministries so that they do not become over-dependent on Oakseed's donations as their sole source. There are many ways that we are able to maintain personal relationships with the people serving in those ministries. Oakseed maintains a very low overhead, so that a very high percentage of our financial support goes directly to the ministry.
