What if some churches don’t pay their share?
Unfortunately, that does happen, with the result that ministry-share giving has been declining slowly. Although in some years the actual dollars may have increased, receipts haven’t kept pace with inflation. That has a direct impact on ministry. It has meant that the Back to God Ministries International has cut back on broadcasts in some areas, Home Missions has reduced grants for church starts, and World Missions sends fewer missionaries. All agencies have been affected. It also means that agencies spend more money and time on fundraising.
