Hi, I'm Jeff Reich, the Director of
Laymen Ministries. This Ministry is unique in many ways. For instance, we believe the members are the church and not a building. Also, how we handle funds here is special, too. When you give a donation to a specified project, 100% of those funds go toward helping that project. The funds are not touched for maintenance or operations of the Ministry home office. We depend a big part on book sales and General donations to cover our overhead. We do appreciate it when people realize we have overhead costs and send General donations!
We operate a large outreach with a small home-office and web-based staff. We are connected by the internet to some workers who live in various places around the US. This cuts down on overhead, so funds donated may go where they are really needed — to our mission projects — rather than covering a top-heavy organization!
“General” donations also give us the discretion to send funds to projects that are experiencing a special need at any given time, or if a project's monthly operating budget has not been covered by specific donations.
If you would like to know more, click on About Us to learn how we got started and why our philosophy of maintaining low overhead is a strong part of our Ministry. Even through the amazing ways God has led, we are still dedicated to our roots!
We do have some upgrades we need to do at the home office, like new computers and replacing a couple of old printers. Please keep these in your prayers as we try to choose our timing wisely when considering upgrades!

God bless!
