If there is nothing to be kept behind closed doors so to speak then I challenge you to let a 2nd set of eyes to hold the ministry accountable in regard to finances. Not only will it give the ministry peace of mind knowing all is well but most importantly, the donors or patrons of the ministry too.
Throughout the years we have seen ministries come and go and heard the stories of ministries getting a bit sidetracked and not being above board in regard to spending the money entrusted to them by their followers/believers in that particular ministry.
Accountability is not only important to God but please consider those that put their faith in God and follow through with Holy Spirit guidance to place faith offerings into the ministry. They are hearing from God. Do you not have an obligation to assure those that everything is above board in the financial realm so as their blessing is not hindered because of maybe some sort of sloppy spending/book work being kept?
At least consider looking into what this organization is all about. Do research. Reach out to them @ 800.323.9473. One final thought ... if there is resistance coming from your financial people within then maybe that might be a sign of caution to at least check it out. If everything is running smoothly within your ministry, then just look @ this as a second layer of protection for the ministry. Only the heads of ministries can choose to look into this for God gave the ministry to them and they ultimately will be the ones held accountable for what God gave to them and how they stewarded it. Pray about this; go over your financial book work with a fine-tooth comb so to speak so you can say all is well, all is well with my soul.
