Elijah Ministries is a non-profit ministry, and contributions are tax-deductible as a 501(c)(3). The ministry is funded as the Lord provides through individual and church contributions, love offerings, and honoraria. It is desired that individuals support their local church first.

Thank you for supporting The Spirit of Elijah Ministries. Your giving enables me to serve and share what God has given to me. Without God's provision through you,
I could not continue to minister through Elijah Ministries. On behalf of the Board of Directors, the thousands whose lives have been more deeply anchored in Jesus Christ, and my family, I express our gratitude and joy that you would serve with us through Elijah Ministries.
Q: What does my donation go to?
Unless otherwise directed, your donation goes into the general budget which provides for salaries, ministry operating expenses, the production of resources, and provision of ministry and resources to individuals and groups who cannot afford the resources.
Q: Why do you need support when you sell materials?
The highest motivation for inviting friends to support The Spirit of Elijah Ministries, International is to give them an opportunity to share in the advancement of the gospel and give for Jesus' sake, so others may receive the blessing they have received through the ministry. It is an honor and privilege for us to labor together for the sake of the gospel. Also, Elijah Ministries is a non-profit ministry, which means the majority of its financial support is from the public. Contributions help us provide resources in Spanish to ministries and individuals in Mexico and the US who cannot afford to purchase them, as well as support the production of new materials and resources. We often have the blessing of giving away resources to single moms and others who are suffering financial hardship. This is why we offer many of our online resources for free and sell our other resources for as little as possible. Even though our prices are comparatively low, we realize that some may not be able to afford desired resources. Therefore, we have a whatever-you-can-afford policy. Your support allows us to do this and bless countless others. Your support also allows Norm to do what he does. Travelling and speaking around 30 times a year, Norm is only able to do this because of many people's generosity.
