Financial Statement

World Reach acknowledges that God is the ultimate provider of all of the resources necessary to conduct the work of ministry.  Moreover, God calls us to be good stewards of the resources that He entrusts to us.

World Reach is a “faith” ministry, trusting God to provide the financial resources necessary to do the work of ministry.  All team members are responsible for raising their own financial support to sustain their public ministry and private lives.   The exceptions are the Board of Directors, who serve with no compensation; International Headquartersstaff, who are paid from the Mission’s general operating funds; and volunteers who are unpaid.

Financial support may come from a variety of sources.  However, a missionary or team member’s home church should have a goal of meeting a significant part of the missionary or team member’s total monthly financial support.  World Reach expects each missionary, whether short-term or career, to raise 100% of the approved support schedule for monthly and outgoing expenses before departing to the field.

World Reach assesses a 12% administrative fee on all gifts to help cover costs incurred by the International Headquarters to promote the general welfare of the Mission.

World Reach does not ask, expect or encourage contributors to incur debt when making gifts to World Reach.  Also, we encourage all contributors to give their tithe to their local church.

World Reach is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.  As such, gifts for the ministries of World Reach are tax-deductible.  By law, the authority to issue tax-deductible receipts rests with World Reach and not the individual missionary or team member.  Gifts received by World Reach are non-refundable and under the control and discretion of World Reach and will be used to carry out the World Reach mission.  World Reach accepts gifts subject to donor preference for specific missionaries, ministries or projects.  However, in accordance with IRS requirements, gifts are given and belong fully to World Reach and are under World Reach’s control and discretion. Gifts to support the ministry of a specific missionary are not gifts to or for the individual but to World Reach for its ministries.
