One of the major principles of L’Abri is that we pray that God would support the work in its various needs. We do not fund raise or ask for donations. There is nothing wrong with this, yet we believe God has led L’Abri in a different manner. Our aim in offering the possibility of online donations is simply to facilitate gift giving for our donors, not to ask for funds.
