MULTIPLYING YOUR MONEY: TRAINING WORKERS AMONG THE POOR

As a faith mission, we rely on contributions, rather than sale of products or services to support the ministry.
Being a faith mission, our dependence is on God as we seek him in prayer. 
This is complemented by wise stewardship and accountability (i.e. Faith and Stewardship are complementary principles.)
The contributions that fund our ministry come to us from four main sources:

• By a support team of about 60 individuals for each worker that give monthly or yearly and sacrificially.
  These are amazing folks, many of whom give sacrificially, some for many years.
• Funding comes from a few local congregations and ministries.
  This is often affirms an ongoing connection with a congregation.
• Preaching in churches and to city leadership teams, teaching in Bible schools and seminaries as we travel. 
  This usually covers our costs, but does not provide for personal support
• By leveraging these sources, we have been able to ask some richer Christian businessmen and their foundations to give us additional grants.
  They will usually give  up to 10% of our income.

The 2010-11 Urban Leadership budget is approximately $213,328. We are seeking another 25 people
committed to giving just $50,$100 or $200 a month, and we can leverage that with some businessmen, our budget would be met.

Will you partner with us in the area of financial resources?
If you would like to find out more about how you or your church/ministry
can help us, please feel free to contact us by sending an e-mail.
