Changes in Ministry and your Financial Reports

Changes in ministry can affect the typical expenses you list on your reports from month to month. For instance, someone on deputation will primarily have travel expenses, while someone on the field may have more costs related to renting a building or purchasing nursery snacks and Sunday School supplies. Someone coming home on furlough will be dealing with meal allowances and lodging costs they don’t usually see when on the field, and may be using a borrowed vehicle, which must be recorded differently from a vehicle they own. We suggest that you click here to review our checklist of commonly overlooked expenses, to be sure you are claiming all allowable deductions. If you have questions about your financial reports, please contact our office.

Family Fellowship Week

Family Fellowship Week is about three things. It is about gathering as a Missions family. It is about fellowship with God’s choice servants. It is about continuing to do what brought us this far as a missions agency. Our theme for Family Fellowship Week 2023 is Hope! God reminds us in Scripture of our hope in Him, the Gospel, the Faith, and His return.

Please pray with us that those attending will be encouraged and strengthened to continue in their ministries during this week.
