IMI Ministry News - Brother Andrew

Since the time of our last writing, I have been well traveled and spent 17 days on the road in the Months of July and August. IMI ministry took place in the cities of  Elaine - AR, Chicago - IL, Lexington - KY and Great Falls - SC. God moved in many precious ways as he touched his people with His Holy Spirit.  Healing, Restoration, and strong encouragement seemed to be the main thrust of what God was doing both in our meetings and during times of fellowship with His People.

IMI is preparing to take another step in faith in an effort to share our vision with the Body of Christ.  Right now we are making the final preparations to officially introduce IMI Fellowships and Home Cell Groups publicly.  While we have been doing this on our website for about 6 months now, we feel strongly that the Lord is directing us to take more of a public presence with our ministry.  We also will be promoting our Non-Profit Corporation Sole Services as well.  Our first planned event will be joining in the Harvest Fest 2003 Camp Meeting on September 25-28 of this year.  As we quickly approach this time, we are making every effort to be prepared for a time of effective ministry and fellowship.

Recently, IMI has acquired a 1998 Chevy Conversion van to assist in their ministry traveling.  So far since the purchase of this much needed transportation, we have already logged 7K miles in the past two months.  We truly thank the Lord for providing for the needs of our ministry. This van is equipped to carry nine passengers as well, towing capacity for our ministry trailer when needed.

In the first part of August, we were dealt a sever blow to our office computers, as lightning struck during a severe thunder storm and damaged  several pieces of our office equipment.  Thanks to a good brother in the Lord, Mr. Joe Hull came and set our office back up with expertise and diligence. With out Joe, we would have been off line for more than just a week; I'm sure of that. Joe worked tirelessly both morning and night for 4 days straight to get our office back up and running smoothly. It Worked! 

The IMI corporation sole service department has been very busy these past two months providing consultation and setting up over 15 new corporation sole ministries.  Our reach both in the US and Internationally is growing.  We are taking proactive steps to be prepared as the Lord continues enlarging our ministry. More and more people are continuing to be referred to our organization for setting up Corporation Sole.  One reason for this I believe is because our leadership team regularly prays for all of our corporation sole clients and calls upon the Name of the Lord to provide the divine contacts he has for IMI.  His faithfulness has brought us across the paths of many ministry minded people.  In many of our consultations with perspective clients, we have the opportunity to pray and speak prophetically encouraging words.  In some cases we are even operating in the Gifts of the Spirit with words of knowledge and/or wisdom as God  is touching the person on the other side of our phone.

So that summarizes our update for this news letter.  Please take time to read the rest of our Journal. It will be a blessing for you.

What is Corporation Sole? It is the MOST needed answer for the American church today! First, it is not a business corporation yet it is recognized in virtually every state of the Union! It is utilized by the largest and most successful churches in the world! Yet it is not taught about in the educational system in the United States. WHY!?
 
TO YOU, THE CHURCH:
Do you know that many of the largest and most prosperous churches in the World are NOT a state non-profit corporation nor a 501-c3? Do you know that some of those who are NOT sanctioned by the IRS include the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox, most Synagogues, the Mormon Church and others? You ask, "Then how do they function?" The answer is, they function under a Corporation Sole!
 
What's a Corporation Sole? Few of our modern day churches or ministries have ever heard of the term nor know of it's existence! Corporation Sole, in simple terms, is a "sovereign nonprofit perpetual office" which allows for a legal and clear separation of church and state. It permits the church to govern itself as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. A true Corporation Sole church or ministry functions under " Canon Law ," also known as church law , which was developed in the 1400's. Today it is recognized by virtually every state of the Union and in other countries.
 
Authority of Corporation Sole: The founding fathers of the Constitution recognized the necessity for the "separation of church and state" by acknowledging that there was a "Government of Man" and a "Government of God." They took further steps and declared in the First Amendment, that "Congress shall make no laws establishing religion nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof" and so it is today. The first Commandment says, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me". Jesus said it like this, "You cannot serve two masters..." The Sacred Scriptures are the final authority for the church, not the Internal Revenue Service code. Nowhere in the Bible does it command the church to pay a tax. Yet this legal right to the "separation of Church and State" is virtually never exercised by the Church! What has happened and why?
 
Does God anoint and appoint or does the IRS? Most churches and ministries today have signed a covenant agreement with their respective states as a nonprofit corporations. They have been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service, through it's 501-C3 certification program, as a legitimate nonprofit state church/ministry, in other words, as Church, Inc. The only problem with this is that there is no justifiable rational for a church or ministry to incorporate under a government charter (contract) nor to seek a tax-exempt status which has already been granted to the Church by the Constitution of the United States! In most cases, over the last 40 years, attorneys, administrators and accountants have convinced the clergy, to become Church, Inc. based upon alleged benefits and privileges such as Limited Liability, Perpetuity, Tax Exemptions (land, etc.) and Tax Deductible status for it's donors, etc. In reality, this is the story of Esau , once again, because all these advantages were already granted to the Church by the Constitution and are also available under a Corporation Sole! Why, then, are we asking the government to approve something spiritual that has already been granted us under our religious freedom?
 
Statutory Law verses Canon Law: Many thousands upon thousands of churches and ministries in America have joined in a contractual agreement with their respective State governments. These state government are based on Statutory Laws and not on Scripture based Canon Laws. They do not recognize God's Law! State nonprofit corporation churches, and ministries, can be successfully sued in court if they preach on certain "sin issues," such as those prohibited under the Hate Laws ! This is contrary to the scriptures! This is an unscriptural position and leaven to the body! The Church ends up intimidated and confused with two masters! Meanwhile, another shocking fact, if Church, Inc. is sued donors and members are libel because they are considered stock holders in Church, Inc ! Not so under Corporation Sole!
 
Never heard of it! But you say, "I've never heard of Corporation Sole!" That is not surprising. An unbelievable 99% of Americans have never heard about it nor their lawyers or accountants. This may seem very strange but there is a very good reason why. The reason is simply. It is because Corporation Sole is based on "Cannon Law" not on "Statutory Law." Cannon Law is not taught in the educational systems of America! Why should it be! It is "Church Law" and has nothing to do with the day-to-day statutory based business of America. Because it is based on "Canon Law" the IRS has NO jurisdiction or authority over a Canon Corporation Sole. This is why one cannot even find it listed in their code books! Meanwhile, the Catholic Church abides as the largest and richest church in the world under a Corporation Sole!
 
A must know! It is a MUST for ALL church/ministry leaders, administrators, attorneys, and accountants who want to serve God, and not the IRS, to learn about Corporation Sole. If you are considering incorporating, YOU MUST FIND OUT ABOUT CORPORATION SOLE! If you are already incorporated, CORPORATION SOLE IS THE ONLY WAY OUT! Your eyes will be open to the spiritual and legal facts facing the church today! You will discover that many assumed requirements are NOT LEGALLY NECESSARY, WHATSOEVER! Who told you that you must become a "state nonprofit corporation?" Why do you have to get 501-C3 certification? Why does the IRS have the right to declare that your are a legitimate spiritual house when it is only God who anoints and appoints? Wasn't the IRS created to have authority only over earthly works? Then why is it ordaining (establishing) Spiritual works? Why doesn't the church understand what the "separation of church and state" is all about? Knowing your true heritage and legal position is vital! Learning about Corporation Sole will answer many questions you've had, provide direction you haven't and set the plumb line, of the Word, straight!

IMI would like to share with you some of the testimonial we have received concerning the corporation sole services we provide to those with ministerial or charitable intent.  Here are just a few for your edification.  If you have been considering setting up a corporation sole, hear what these people have to say about it and then, feel free to contact our ministry office for a consultation. Just send us an email with you contact info and we will and we will be pleased to arrange a consultation. Our email address is:

Hello Brother Andrew,

Just a short note to let you know some of the things my ministry has done so far with my Corp. Sole. First, I opened a non-profit checking account in a major US bank in the name of the Corp. Sole. I did this over the telephone in less than 10 minutes, faxed them the paperwork they requested and it was a done deal. They mailed paperwork to the Corp Sole's private mailbox address for signatures. The whole process was very simple and went smoothly, no questions asked, because I was able to provide the paperwork they needed. Recently my ministry rented a conference room at a major hotel and again used the paperwork to take advantage of the tax exempt status. When I say paperwork, the only thing I have used is the SS-4....I have never mentioned the term corporate sole, shown anyone the beautiful document, or engaged in any discussions about it. My ministry is currently in the process of buying a church with the Corp. Sole....I am just waiting for the final papers to sign and seal. So far it has been a very easy transaction.

The most important advice I can give anyone about properly using the corp. sole is to be confident that you are using a legal entity and you do not need to discuss any of its legalities with anyone. For instance, if asked if it is a corporation the answer is a simple yes....no need to discuss the ramifications of a c-corp, s-corp or corp. sole. Is it tax exempt? Yes, again no need to discuss the differences between a 501(c)3 and a 26 USC 6033 -- that clerk or realtor or bank teller or whomever will have no clue what you are talking about.Remember the K.I.S.S. principle...Keep It Short and Simple.

I am so happy to have this structure not only for the tax advantages and the privacy it affords me, but most importantly because it is a vehicle to carry out His good works. More to come about that in the future!!

Bountiful Blessings,

I appreciate the fine workmanship and the high-caliber presentation. I have already passed the word around to several who may be interested in such suggesting they give me as a reference.

Dear Bro. Andrew,

I truly wish to express my appreciation as to the professionalism of your work in the creation of my Corporation Sole.  You were there to answer every question that I had regarding how I could best utilize the CS in my particular situation.  Not only that, you completed the entire process for me in a time period that was less than what I was expecting.

Since setting up my CS, I have opened a bank account with a major U. S. bank, secured a Debit Card, and also was granted a Business Credit Card for my CS.  I plan on visiting Panama in the near future, where I plan to open a local bank account, as I am planning on retiring to Panama by the end of 2003.

I have desired to set up a ministry in Panama for a number of years and the CS has made it possible, and a soon-to-be reality.

Thank you so much for your assistance, support, and always being there to answer questions as they have arisen.

Regards,

Dear Impact Ministries and Brother Andrew,

I wanted to thank you for the professional work you are doing for Kingdom of God and his servants. After researching the advantages of the Corporation Sole and the traditional non-profit status of a 501c3, I was so glad to have chosen the godly Corporation Sole as the legal non-profit status of my ministry. I also wanted to let you know pleased I was to see the tremendous value I received. Along with the professional documents and seal for my ministry, it is so comforting to know that I have a lifetime of relationship and consultation to back me up if I ever should need it. From the very beginning of my consultation with you, there was the peace of knowing I was dealing with an organization that exemplified Character, sincerity and most of all servant hood .

The knowledge of all of the what ifs and where and how to's, were answered in detail from a wealth of experience and knowledge of constitutional laws. They were broken down on simpler terms to make it easy to assimilate. I wanted to let you know, that I had even found some that would have set up my Corp Sole less expensively, but would have cost me so much more over time and also realized after researching it further that they would have not taken me through all the steps to completion. When you add the free consultation for life, there is no other service that compares. Thank you so much, for now I can go forward in what the Lord has called me to do knowing I have a friend who will be there whenever I need him and that is Brother Andrew and Impact Ministries.
