Ron Hutchcraft Ministries

MinistryWatch.com has named Ron Hutchcraft Ministries one of 30 "Shining Light" Christian ministries.

MinistryWatch.com compiles the annual list of 30 ministries from the nearly 500 ministries for which it has financial and other information. This is the first year Ron Hutchcraft Ministries has made the MinistryWatch.com "Shining Light" list. Those ministries on the list have demonstrated outstanding effectiveness and efficiency in their ministry and financial operations.

"Ron Hutchcraft Ministries is truly one of the 'best of the best,'" said Rusty Leonard, founder of MinistryWatch.com. "At a time when Sen. Charles Grassley is calling on some of the worst organizations to live up to their minimum responsibilities of financial self-disclosure, we are pleased to recognize Ron Hutchcraft Ministries as a ministry that goes well beyond the minimum. The staff and supporters of Ron Hutchcraft Ministries can be justifiably proud of their fine organization."

MinistryWatch.com makes its annual selections based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, said Ron Pitzer, Managing Director of Research for MinistryWatch.com. "Making the selection is challenging, given the selfless work so many fine ministries do," Pitzer said. But he added that these ministries were truly "exemplary" in the following categories:

• They have a legitimate non-profit ministry and purpose.
• They treat donors fairly by earning a Transparency Grade of "A" from MinistryWatch.com
• They are unashamed of being identified as an evangelical Christian ministry.
• MinistryWatch.com knows of no issue that would be of concern to donors.

"To the glory of God," comments RHM founder and President, Ron Hutchcraft. "We view this not as something to boast about, but something to live up to. In the words of Scripture, 'We are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men.' (2 Corinthians 8:21 NIV) We pray we will always be worthy of God's blessing and the confidence of our supporters. So many lives depend on it!"MinistryWatch.com is a donor advocate, with the mission of helping Christian donors make more informed and effective giving decisions.
