11. The Art of Honoring the Senders

12. Gain a new understanding and appreciation of the senders
Learning Objectives
Gain a new understanding and appreciation of the senders
Identify ways to honor and bless them
I have served with SIM in a variety of roles and locations – but because of my CPA background, it has generally involved Financial Administration
I oversee a team that manages the support budgets and expense reimbursements for our overseas long term and short missionaries, new appointees, home staff, retirees, and associate volunteers, When a missionary is short on support, I am generally one of the first people to know. SIM has a pooling system that provides short term assistance when there is a financial need. It hurts when we have to put a missionary on a reduced budget due to low support. That’s why I care for our missionaries, and it’s why I am a trainer to help them build and maintain a full prayer and financial support team.
Trends: Several years ago, support from churches comprised 40% or more of a missionaries support. It was common for a missionary to have 6, 10 or even 20 supporting churches. Now we see a trend of missionaries having fewer church and more intimate relationships with these churches and individual financial partners
Why do they give?
Relationship – with God and the faith supported worker. They view giving as part of our worship
Cause – Give to invest in God’s kingdom. They want to be involved in our Father’s work and great commission
