Thank you for your interest in helping move the mission of A Shepherd's Heart forward for God's Kingdom and glory!
As a "tent maker" ministry, (Randolph works a regular job to supply for the needs of his family and to give toward God's Kingdom work through the local church and does volunteer ministry work.)

FAQ:
Is my gift tax deductible?:
A Shepherd's Heart is Not a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and we will not seek to become one. Why? After seeking counsel from experts in this area, it was determined that there is no benefit for a small organization to form a non-profit. In order to become a non-profit, it takes funding and legal consulting just to accurately register and it's also very cost apprehensive and time consuming on an ongoing basis. None of which is feasible for a small ministry to establish and maintain. If you do give, please know that unless your tax consultant says otherwise, you will not be able to deduct your gift on your taxes.
A ministry of integrity:
All funds provided will help us help those in need as well as help purchase needed basic equipment, sustain software needs, develop new projects and content, and help provide general ongoing support. We operate with the highest ethics and are held accountable by God and all those who benefit from this ministry. No money will ever be wasted on frivolous things. All funds will be directed to the mission and support of this ministry that God has given us! If you ever have questions, please feel free to contact giving@ashepherdsheart.org.
