Support or no?


According to the BGC website, of the 72 missionaries and missionary couples that they have sent out all over the world, 36 of them need more support money, over 10 of them needing over $1,000 more a month. This doesn't even include the short tem mission funds that are needed for the thousands of churches that go out every year. I have been thinking a lot about this lately because of the new ministry starting at the Northwest Angle. The pastor Kenny Danielson is speaking at a church in Stanchfield this weekend, and is going to continue to speak at other area churches until he gets the support that he needs. There are so many churches giving all they can, however so many are small and cannot give a ton of money. Then there are other mega churches who give practically nothing to support missionaries. My grandpa knows people on leadership boards at two mega churches around here, and they spend more money on their pretty buildings and building more campuses of their church than they do on supporting the hundreds of missionaries all over the world. This is really sad to me, especially considering just how much money that they seem to have. It's up to us to help those who are going out to share about Christ, and if our churches don't do that, then what are we doing?
