MY SETTING

04: WE GET “HIT UP” A LOT!

There are a lot of appeals from humanitarian efforts, regional focuses, and other
large missions projects. The stack on my desk grows each day.
Although AGWM’s primary emphasis is putting missionaries in the field, they also endorse many other
types of missions projects and make their fundraising appeal directly to US pastors. With every world
crisis (e.g., tsunamis, earthquakes, other acts of God), an appeal is made directly to the churches, which
generally leads to an outpouring of generosity from local churches. Additionally, many geographic
regions have special appeals, and these also target the local church. Finally, missions-loving pastors are
invited to a variety of fundraisers in an effort to generate money for good causes. All of these needs for
one-time offerings must be balanced with the desire to support the individual missionary on a monthly
basis. It’s tough for a pastor to know how to balance out all of these good causes.
