Case Study: House of Blessing Ministry

Abstract

House of Blessing is a non-profit, decision-oriented case featuring Community Chapel, a church participating in an outreach ministry to help those less fortunate by providing food and financial assistance. The church has been given an opportunity to acquire, at no cost, six modular units. However, the cost to get the trailers refurbished for their intended use is projected at $115,000. With a nationwide recession, the number of people in need is growing while contributions to the House of Blessing ministry and church are unstable. The church officers and board need to decide if they should secure the six modular units.
