📖 Christ Inc Indestructible Stewardship
Summary
Vehicles carry families, jobs, and ministry. This booklet reframes ownership as stewardship: maintain before replacing, verify papers and history, train new drivers, and retire vehicles safely when their service life ends. We reject hype and hustle in favor of truth and tools — honest inspections, documented repairs, lawful transfers, and responsible end-of-life handling.
- Heart: Integrity over image, safety over show, restitution where corners were cut.
- Hands: Preventive maintenance, tire/brake checks, VIN/title verification, flood and salvage detection.
- Rails: Paper trails, chain-of-custody for donated or retired units, and vetted downstream partners.
Problems
- Anonymous car donation lines with no EIN, no receipts, and for-profit middlemen.
- Curbstoning: unlicensed sellers flipping cars to dodge rules and warranties.
- Title washing and flood flips with hidden damage.
- Odometer tampering, VIN mismatches, and “lost title” schemes.
- “Free tow” scams that add junk fees and erase deductions.
Warning About Vehicle Donation & Sales Scams
Protect your gift, your neighbor, and yourself. Never donate or buy without a full paper trail. Demand independent inspections, itemized receipts, and transparency about where fluids, batteries, and parts go. Refuse cash-app “deposits” and avoid pressure sales. Honest stewardship honors God, keeps families safe, and prevents exploitation.
