Do your workers have to raise their own support?

WMPL has a different way of talking about money than other ‘faith-based’ missions. One answer is, ‘no,’ in the sense that we go out of our way to emphasize that we look to the Lord to provide the support — of course, the Lord usually does this through people and so another answer is, ‘yes,’ in so far as our workers will do well to faithfully interpret the Mission of God for folks back home. We should not be surprised when this results in a robust network of mission partners.

What does this look like in practice? To begin with, we don’t fixate on a specific level of monetary support before mobilizing to the field. We don’t promise a formal ‘salary’ either. Instead, we speak in terms of a modest missionary ‘allowance.’ It is our policy to share what we have by God’s good provision, in order to do what he has given us to do.

We encourage you to read more about our financial policies in the Mission Handbook. Furthermore, a conversation with any of our missionaries in the field or staff in the home office will certainly give you a realistic picture of how our financial policies play out in real time.
