My Donation
What portion of my order is tax deductible? How can I get a tax deductible amount at the end of the year?
We are a non-profit organization that raises funds using Quid Pro Quo donations. This is a payment a donor makes to a charity partly as a contribution and partly for goods or services. When a donation is received with a request for goods in return, only a portion of that donation is considered tax deductible. Donations received where goods are not requested are 100% tax deductible. When purchasing goods retail, monies are processed when items are shipped and are not considered tax deductible. Since all monies received by us are considered a donation, we process payment when monies are received not when product is shipped. The tax deductible amount should also be found on the bottom of your packing slip for each order donated for.
We do not automatically ship out a tax deductible amount. Please call us for a Tax Deduction Statement at the end of the year.
I received a letter to thank me for my donation, but I placed an order. Am I still getting my product?
We consider all money given to Morningside Church a donation. The funds we receive for all orders is considered a Quid Pro Quo donation. This means that you are giving a donation with the benefit of receiving goods or services in exchange. This is also why we charge your card immediately when the order was placed, not when the order is shipped. If you receive your letter before your product, please allow recommended shipping time for that product to arrive.
Why do I have a charge from Morningside Church when I gave a donation or placed an order with The Jim Bakker Show?
All donations given to The Jim Bakker Show will appear as “Morningside Church” on your Bank or Credit Card Statement.
I would like to mail my donation using a check or money order. How can I do this?

How can I place my order by phone?
If you would like to place your order by phone, please call our order line at 888-988-1588. Our order line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
My credit card declined when placing my online order. Why do I still see a charge reflected on my bank or credit card account?
If the billing address, zip code, or card verification code does not match what your bank or credit card company have on file, we will decline your card. Before a card is declined, a pre-authorization is sent to the bank or credit card company.
An Authorization hold (also card authorization, pre-authorization, or pre-auth) is the practice within the banking industry of authorizing electronic transactions done with a debit card or credit card and holding this balance as unavailable either until the merchant clears the transaction (also called settlement), or the hold “falls off.” In the case of debit cards, authorization holds can fall off the account anywhere from 1–5 days after the transaction date depending on the bank’s policy; in the case of credit cards, holds may last as long as 30 days, depending on the issuing bank.
After the pre-authorization is sent to the bank or credit card company, they will inform us of any items that do not match (ie. billing, zip code, or card verification code). For security reasons, if any card number comes back with any mismatched information, we will not follow through with the order and your card will decline. A pre-authorization will be reflected in your statement, but this is not an actual charge and will be removed from your account. For more information on pre-authorizations, please contact your banking institution or credit card company.

After it has went through Accounting, then it comes to us in Partner Services to manually enter your order for the amount that your check was for. Please include a note as to what you want for your donation with every check/money order you send. When your order has been entered, it takes up to 3 days to print to our Shipping department.

I received my order containing the Seychelle water products a couple weeks after I placed it. Now, weeks later, I have received another shipment of the same order? What should I do with the second shipment?
This is because your order was shipped from here, Morningside Church, right after it was placed. We then began shipping orders from the manufacturer, Seychelle. When we switched to shipping the product from Seychelle, many orders were sent to them to be shipped out again. You were not double charged, it is the same exact order. The reason why you are getting the order now, so long after, is because Seychelle is catching up with our backorder. The backorder is currently working on the beginning of April orders.
If you happen to receive another shipment, please be honest and refuse that shipment so it will come back to us. If you are not home when UPS delivers, then you can write refuse on the package and take it back to your local UPS store to send back to us at no cost to you. This should not happen in the future due to our shipping department is no longer sending out the orders. All Seychelle products are shipping from them. Also, please do not contact them for order tracking or questions. They cannot see your order because it was done through Morningside Church. Please contact us at 417-779-9000 with any questions regarding your order.

My Seychell Pitcher Filter is less than six months old and it doesn’t seem to be allowing water to flow through as quickly.
If your Seychelle Pitcher Filter is less than six months old and it doesn’t seem to be filtering the water as quickly, Seychelle recommends cleaning and re-flushing the filter. To clean and re-flush your filter, simply flush with a 1/8 teaspoon of chlorine in one quart of water through the system and then rinse and flush with filtered water. DO NOT use soap or cleaner on the filter as you may damage it and plug up the microscopic pore openings which will cause it to not work.

What are the black, gold, or white granules in the bottom of my Seychelle Pitcher/ Bottle?
Through medical technology, Seychelle created a uniform 2-micron absolute pore size for the assured reduction and removal of contaminants. The high-tech porous plastic micro-filter is impregnated with both the finest granulated activated coconut Carbon available and Seychelle’s exclusive adsorbing media for superior analyte removal capability. The filter contains coconut and charcoal. With a new filter, little granules can appear during first time use. This is normal and will not harm you if you have consumed them. Disassemble the filter, wash it thoroughly, and reassemble. This should fix the problem. If it does not, contact Partner Services.
How long does the Seychelle filters last?
We recommend that you change them every 6 months or until the filter stops filtering your water.
