What if missionaries receive less than is recommended?
New Tribes Mission does not require missionaries to have 100 percent of their recommended support in order to begin or continue service. However, serving with less than the recommended support brings stress greater than the typical family faces when expenses threaten to outstrip resources. For missionaries, the added burden is deciding whether to fund the ministry God has called them to, or take care of family needs. With less support than is recommended, they may not buy items needed for ministry. Medical expenses or vehicle repairs may not be funded, or retirement planning won’t occur. When you help a missionary reach their recommended support level, you help equip them for effective ministry.
