What is missionary support?
For centuries God has used His people to fund His work around the globe. Faith-based missionaries are responsible for raising the money needed to cover their personal expenses and the expenses related to their missionary work. The money raised from family, friends, churches and even businesses is called support. Those who commit to support a missionary are called supporters. These supporters are channels of God's provision for faith-based missions and missionaries.
Why do faith missionaries need to raise support?
All missionaries get funded the same way - God's people give generously to support mission work. Whether you are employed by a large denominational organization or a small ministry, God is the one who speaks to His people to fund the ministry. When God's people give, His vision and calling are funded.
What does it mean to live on support?
It means that individuals, churches and even businesses pay your salary. When God's people give, we get a salary and the vision of LTW gets funded.
Do faith missionaries have a set salary?
The short answer is yes. Our board of directors sets the annual salary. Yet, if the funds do not come in, the annual salary is not met. Bottom Line: God is our provider and He abundantly meets our needs through the generous, faithful gifts of our ministry supporters.
Are there different kinds of support?
Yes, here are some of the most common:
- Regular Support: Monthly, quarterly or annual support are funds missionaries can count on for their basic living and ministry expenses.
- Special Gifts: These are funds that come periodically throughout the year to support specific missionary needs. Often times these gifts cover unexpected financial needs.
- Project Funds: Project funds may cover anything from a chair, or a vehicle, to a church building. Project funds go directly to the project for which they are specifically designated.
Is support tax-deductible?
LTW is a 501c3 nonprofit ministry and your gifts are 100% tax-deductible when you do not receive a benefit from them. Your gifts of regular, special and project funding qualify as tax-deductible gifts. Also, in-kind gifts (stuff) qualify for a tax deduction as well. How can you start supporting LTW?
