Ken Baldes, Vice President for Operations/Treasurer

2. The U.S. Alliance is part of a Christ-centered global movement more than 6 million strong. Our Acts 1:8 family—inspired by Jesus’ love and empowered by His Spirit—is passionate to bring the good news about Him to our neighborhoods and world.

11. PRESIDENT’S CHALLENGE

12. What needs to happen
in our church so that we would give at least 10% to the Great Commission Fund?

13. Sharpening the GCF
Vision of providing 85 percent of the GCF budget for Church Ministries and International Ministries

14. International Ministries Expenses as a Percentage of Total C&MA Income| 1922 to 2016

15. Sharpening the GCF
Vision of providing 85 percent of the GCF budget for Church Ministries and International Ministries
How do we get there?
Revenues have to grow faster than the rate of inflation
Slow down expenses in Operations/Finance, Development and Executive
Strategic use of Legacy Gifts for Church Ministries and International Ministries
Greater ownership and engagement by local churches (10% target)

16. What would happen if Alliance churches contributed 10% to the Great Commission Fund?

17. GCF LEVEL 1
GCF LEVEL 2
GCF LEVEL 3
GCF LEVEL 4

18. MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3
Areas where we have made significant progress
reaching critical mass since Council 2015:
Green Mountains
Tea House (team 1) K1 K2
Mali
Berlin
Japan

19. MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3
Additional areas where we are focusing efforts
to reach critical mass over the next two years:
Senegal
Spain
Paraguay
Indonesia
China (3 teams)
Mongolia
Koutiala and Bongolo Hospitals

20. MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3
Areas with some of the biggest needs that will
take longer unless funding is provided:
Russia
Kosovo
Israel (Jewish ministry)
India

21. MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3
During 2018 International Ministries will identify up to five new initiatives among nearby unreached peoples or populations into which we have doorways. This could create the need for up to 50 more additional new workers,
beyond our critical mass focus, over a five year period.

22. MOVING FROM GCF LEVEL 2 TO LEVEL 3
If all Alliance churches hit the 10 percent giving goal, the deployment of these resources would be assured!
