Special Projects
From time to time you may have a need to raise funds for a special purchase. Often our missionaries will raise funds for Bibles, hymnbooks, pews, vehicles, building programs, or assistance for nationals serving in their ministries, among other things.
If you will be raising funds for a special project such as this please contact the Mission Office as soon as you can, preferably in advance. The Executive Board must vote on any special projects for which funds are received in the Mission Office.
Did you know that there are times when extra funds like this could impact your W-2 amount? For instance, funds raised for the purchase of a vehicle or land cannot be listed as an expense on your Financial Report, so you would need to claim the income, and then confer with your tax preparer regarding how that expense may affect your personal taxes. Because of this, there may be a need to adjust your estimated tax payments throughout the year.
We also have an area of our website where we can post special projects for you. This gives exposure to your need. When contacting us about the need, please let us know if you would like for us to publish it on the mission website.
Our staff can better serve you when we are aware in advance that you may be expecting funds for a special need. Thank you for your help in this area of keeping us informed!

Family Fellowship Week
If you will be in the United States in June, please be sure to join us for our annual Family Fellowship Week. This year’s meeting will be hosted by Pastor Fred Daniel, Jr., and the members of Brookhaven Baptist Church in Greensboro, NC. The meeting will begin with supper on Monday evening, June 15, and will end after the Thursday evening service on June 18. More information will be coming to you soon, but please be sure to mark the dates on your calendar now, and begin making arrangements to join us! Meals and lodging are always provided by the church, so the only cost to you would be your transportation, and a minimal cost for children’s activities.
Missionary Housing
Daniel & Linda Draime have a home in Ocala, FL, that they have made available to missionaries and others in Christian service who are on deputation, furlough, or vacation. It is a two bedroom, two bath home, and is fully equipped for a family of four. You may contact them by email at [email protected] for more information.
