Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
HOW MISSIONARIES ARE FUNDED
All of the missionaries our church sends to the mission field serve in ministries known as “faith missions”.
These missionaries do not automatically receive a salary but, by faith look to the Lord and His people for their financial needs. God provides for their needs through financial partners who feel led of the Lord to invest in their ministry.
Each missionary must raise 100% of required support to cover anticipated costs for personal and ministry expenses according to the requirements of his/her mission.
The Eaton EFC Mission Board prepares a yearly missions budget. The only funds the Mission Board can use are those designated as “Missions” in the offering. Also during the church’s capital building campaign, 10% of the monies given will be given to the “Mission Fund”. It is with these funds that the Mission Board prayerfully evaluates each missionary and ministry, the support that is needed, and makes commitments as funds are available.
A contribution to the General Mission Fund, to an individual or a missionary family through the church is generally tax deductible.
Many in our church family also pledge further support to individual missionaries. All of these contributions are sent to the mission organization in which the missionary serves and are not a part of our church’s mission budget.
If you would like more information about supporting our Mission Fund or an individual our church supports you can contact the Mission Board.
