Sometimes financial difficulties make it necessary for a church to adjust its missions budget. How should these cutbacks be made to cause as few problems as possible for the missionary?
Contact AGWM to request a correspondence report and financial analysis of the missionaries you support. Review the list and note whether each missionary is on the field or at home. Missionaries overseas will not have an opportunity to recover lost funds until they come home for itineration. Missionaries already in the United States can contact other churches and try to recover lost commitments. Also, unusual inflation on the field or lost commitments sometimes forces a missionary’s account into overdraft. If this happens while he or she is on the field, the missionary does not have an opportunity to recover or personally solicit new funds. Try to maintain support for missionaries who are overseas. The AGWM U.S. Relations department can provide assistance in evaluating how to make cutbacks in missions giving. Call 1.417.862.2781, ext. 2050.
