A refund of donations

HKACM standing committee came together this morning to discuss a refund case.

A lady with mental defects,asked to refund her donated money sent last October due to her poor health. She donated a large sum of money to different places last year voluntarily. Then in her poor health soon after this,she requested all agencies and churches to pay her back the donated sum of money she urgently needed right now.

Legally speaking it's not sound & possible as it's voluntary donations but she even called the police to ask for her money back. After careful consideration we decided to refund her money due to compassion reason.

But it's not a good example and will lead to bad consequences if widely known.

Voluntary offering is a sign of love for God.
