Ways to Give
Give in the way that suits you
Four simple ways to send a gift, and one short form so we can thank you and send your receipt.
Four ways to give
Choose what is easiest for you
Every way starts with the same short form. You choose how to send the gift on the second step.
Card or digital wallet
We send you to Square's own secure page to pay by credit card, debit card or the wallet on your phone, once or every month. The card processing fee (3.3% plus 30¢) is added to the total, so the whole gift you chose reaches the ministry.
Venmo
Send from the Venmo app to @PeterElvinMinistries. There is no fee, and you can scan a code on the next step instead of typing the name.
Zelle
Send straight from your bank's app. There is no fee. We show you the exact address to send to after you fill in the form.
Check by mail
Make your check payable to Peter Elvin Ministries and mail it to PO Box 12, Elizabeth, IL 61028. Please allow 7 to 10 business days for it to arrive and be recorded.
Your card and bank details never touch this website. The form only asks who you are and what you would like to give. The payment itself happens in your own Venmo or banking app, on Square's secure page, or by check, so we never see or store your card or account numbers.
How it works
Three steps, about two minutes
- 1
Tell us about your gift
Fill in the short form with your name, the amount and where you would like it to go. This is how we match the gift to you.
- 2
Send it your way
Pick card, Venmo, Zelle or check. The next screen gives you the instructions for the one you chose, and you finish the payment in your own app or on Square's page.
- 3
Get your receipt
Once the gift has arrived and been recorded, we email your receipt. Keep it for your tax records.
Give every month
A steady gift, month after month
Children need meals every day and pastors need support every month. A monthly gift by card lets the team in India plan ahead. You stay in control and can stop whenever you need to.
Start a monthly gift- 1
Fill in the give form and choose Square (card) as your payment method.
- 2
The next screen has a button that opens Square's own secure page. There, pick the recurring option instead of one-time.
- 3
Square emails you a link to change or cancel at any time. Check your junk folder if you do not see it.
Monthly gifts are available by card only. Need a hand changing or cancelling one? Contact us and we will sort it out.
Direct your gift
Choose where it goes
Gifts you designate are used for that purpose. Pick one below and the form opens with it already selected.
What a gift becomes
A meal, a classroom, a church, a home.
