Financial Policy

OUR PROVISION
Everything we do is made possible through the prayers and financial support of those who share our burden for the lost. We recognize the sacrifices that God’s people make to sustain God’s work and we pledge to use all resources effectively and efficiently. Thank you for laboring with us in our Lord’s work as we seek to glorify Him according to First Corinthians 3:12-14.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

TRUSTING THE LORD
Our hearts truly desire to do God’s will in a way that honors Him and exalts His name. We have a deep conviction that the God we serve is not in any financial trouble and that we should not use carnal methods to “help Him out of a tight spot.” We believe that He has not made any promises that He will not keep. Therefore, when we share with you about the urgency to reach the untold, lost millions and the opportunities to win them to the real Jesus, not the counterfeits, it is not done to produce feelings of guilt or to manipulate. We are only seeking to give you the opportunity to become part of His work - and to lay up for yourself the true riches in heaven.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
(Matthew 6:19-21)

OUR RESPONSE TO THOSE WHO ASK
Since 2003 we have been full time missionaries supported by sending churches and individuals in the U.S.A. As part of our financial policy, we do not make longwinded "pleas" for monetary support. Instead we trust that the Lord will provide as He sees fit. There are times when urgent needs arise and we do communicate these needs to our supporters as tactfully as we can. There are times also when people ask directly how they can help support the ministry. For this reason we have our financial donation information on our websites.

May Jesus become Lord of All—and lead you by His counsel.

Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
(Psalm 73:24-25)
