How To Get Involved - Giving
The world is hungry, a hunger that only the Word of God can satisfy. You can help to bring the Word of God to an increasingly needy world through your donations to Precept Ministries Scotland. Even £5 a month can work miracles in the Lord’s hands - after all, He fed 5,000 with five loaves!

Our Operating Strategy
Precept is a 'give-away' ministry, seeking to equip people with the tools to get to know God personally through studying His word. So, minimising operating costs is a vital consideration, to ensure that our limited resources are channelled into 'front-line' ministry. Practical ways in which this is achieved currently are by not employing salaried staff, and by locating the office in the National Coordinators' home.
Funding the Ministry
Income for the ministry is generated in three main ways:
- Charitable donations
- Profit from the sale of Precept Bible study aids & materials
- Profit from running Precept training courses
Because we want to make study materials and training as affordable as possible and hence work to small profit margins, charitable donations remain a key source of income for the ministry.
The 'Gift Fund'
One very practical way in which we seek to make study materials and training available to all, regardless of individual ability to pay, is by maintaining a dedicated fund through which the cost of materials and training can be partly or wholly subsidised for those in straightened circumstances. If you wish to designate a gift for this purpose, please phone or email us, as otherwise donations are directed into the Operating Fund.
