Missions Funding Plan

     As Defined by FREE METHODIST DENOMINATIONAL CHURCH

 

MISSIONARY SUPPORT ACCOUNT (MSA) * 1st Priority

Free Methodist long-term missionaries are supported by local churches and individuals who are committed to pray for them and give toward their ministry. MSA’s provide the resources for the missionaries themselves (i.e. salary, housing, vehicles, health insurance, computers, etc.). Through the FMWM funding plan, these supporters are given the opportunity to invest in long-term relationships, ministry partnerships and family-like connections that span the world. http://www.fmwm.org/give/support.php

 

COUNTRY SHARE ACCOUNT (CSA) * 2nd Priority

CSA is for Country Shares in the countries that FM has a missionary presence. It is a church or individual who makes an ongoing commitment to sponsor shares of national field budgets. Each country has an individual account that funds national programs, ministry centers, church workers, leadership training, church planting, compassionate ministries/community transformation and other country-specific items. CSA’s provide the essential resources for the missionaries' day-to-day ministries. There are several countries to choose from: http://www.fmwm.org/give/index.php

EMP is for Extra Mile Projects that are short term and FM sponsored. Examples are:

INTERNATIONAL CHILD CARE MINISTRIES provides an education, a daily meal, a school uniform and medical care for needy children. Sponsors make all of this possible through monthly contributions.  http://www.fmwm.org/give/child_sponsorship.php
