What Missionary Support Is

We recently sent an email out to our whole list of those on our support team which in part, cited a portion of the “Contact and Support” page on this website.  In this email, (and in the text on the page with the link just above) we tried to express something that we’ve believed since the beginning of our missions experience 20 years ago – that is that missionary support is not primarily about money… but it is about relationship, prayer, communication, encouragement and all other types of support including money.  The foundation of support is and has to be love and prayer in both directions.

In the email we sent recently, we mentioned that we don’t talk about money very often but it’s time to do that since our transition has brought us to a place that has a higher cost of living and we are traveling to teach and speak much more than we ever have and those trips, especially to the developing world, often have to be paid for our of our own financial support.  In addition to praying for us and being the sort of support team member we talk about often, would you pray and seek the Lord about supporting us financially with monthly or one time tax deductible donations?    As the Lord leads, please visit our support page in this site for just how to give.

Please also let us know how you are and how we can pray for you.  Thanks, Merry Christmas and God Bless You!
