New Associate
Jim and Patty Bailey have been accepted with World Wide as our newest associate missionaries. They will be going to Guam in the year 2015 to serve as furlough replacements for the Quinlan family. Pastor Bailey has served on our Executive Board since 1983. He has pastored Valley Baptist Church in Edinburg, VA since 1978. He will be retiring from Valley Baptist Church January 1, 2015. Advisory Board member and current associate Pastor, Chad Estep, will become the pastor at that time.
Housing Allowances for 2015
The Executive Board has voted, on recommendation from our CPA, that all Housing Allowances approved for 2014 will automatically roll forward to future years. Therefore, there is no need to submit a new request for a Housing Allowance, unless you do not currently have one in place, or unless you wish to change the amount of your allowance. Ordained missionaries are eligible to request a Housing Allowance, which provides tax benefits for funds used for housing related expenses. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact our Office for more details.
Ministry Equipment
World Wide is required to maintain an inventory of all equipment that missionaries have listed on Line 15 of their financial reports. Please review your records prior to the end of the year, and let us know if you have disposed of or sold any equipment this year so that we can update our records. Income received from the sale of the equipment will need to be recorded on Line 2 of your financial reports if you previously claimed the purchase as a ministry expense.
