How should a church’s missions committee plan for adding new Field Workers to its commitment list between missions conferences?
The following method works well for some churches: Once Faith Promises are received, the pastor and missions committee can determine the amount of money they have to work with and how it should be distributed. For example, if Faith Promises total $10,000, perhaps $8,000 can be pledged to various Field Workers. The remaining $2,000 allows the church to add new Field Workers throughout the year and give to special needs. Pledging less than the total amount of Faith Promises also protects against Faith Promises that do not come in. You might also consider adding one or more $50 commitments or an undesignated amount into your budget. When a Field Worker visits your church, write their name on a commitment form and give it to him or her. You will have provided the Field Worker with immediate support while staying within your budget.
