Privacy Policy

Torch Ministries International has created the following privacy policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the privacy of our users. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for Torch Ministries International.

Torch Ministries International assures you that the identity of all who contact us through this website is kept completely confidential. We do not rent, sell, or exchange our mailing lists and we will always strive to be responsible, honest, and cost-effective. Torch Ministries International has been ministering to those who are suffering in Africa and in other countries, and we are continually working to ensure every dollar that is donates is used for the full purpose of reaching those in underdeveloped countries both spiritually and physically.

At Torch Ministries International, we strive to use every resource that God entrusts us with to change the lives of the people who need them the most. We recognize that we were not put here to help ourselves, but to help others come to Christ. As a part of our financial stewardship, we keep our overhead costs low and utilize resources and finances where they are most needed in America, Africa, and other parts of the world. We look for ways to maximize each dollar we receive for the good of others.
