International Needs is an organization that does similar work to World Renew. So that is why they are not on the list of accredited non-denominational agencies for churches to include on their offering list. See the attached website link for the list of agencies that are: https://www.crcna.org/ministries/accredited-nondenominational-agencies
World Renew continues to be internationally renowned for the quality of its disaster response programs and has the unique approach of working intentionally with local churches to make an impact in their communities and ensure a holistic approach. It is worth noting that MoneySense magazine rated World Renew as one of the top 10 International charities of choice for 2019 people to donate to. Many Christian international development agencies replace or displace local churches instead of strengthening their capacity and presence to be a sustainable ministry long after the agencies and their programs have left. World Renew feels strongly that God's presence is most powerfully felt when the church has an active role in nurturing faith in integrated ways with all the community development programs that are done.
Given all this, why would CRC congregations want to invest in other development agencies that do similar work to World Renew?
