General Fund
Giving to the General Fund
General fund giving supports essential OMF ministry to accomplish the work of evangelization in East Asia. Field ministries literally would not function without the support of our general fund!
Imagine missionaries better enabled to do ministry because more of their personal living, children's educational, travel, medical and retirement needs are covered from the general fund rather than from personal support development efforts.
Donors may specifically preference their giving to one or more of the following general fund purposes:
- "Where Most Needed."
- Mobilization Ministry (including recruitment, screening, training and care of missionary candidates).
- Facilities infrastructure.
- Missions education and resources to churches.
- Communications and data management systems.
- Prayer resources and ministries.
- Administrative and staff support.
- Retired missionary needs.
- Special missionary and OMF organizational needs and emergencies.
- Ongoing personal care and spiritual development of field missionaries and home staff.
Unique to general fund giving is its multiplying effect. Consider the perspective of one OMF friend:
“Just $1 given to support one missionary will reap the benefit of what God will do through that missionary, which is potentially powerful. But, $1 given to support the mobilization (or recruitment) of 10 new missionaries has the potential for ten-times that much!” Recruitment is only one aspect of what general fund giving makes possible.
While God is not limited by our giving, he does require our good stewardship of the possessions entrusted to us. Among the good stewardship reasons for general fund giving is its multiplying effect upon our missionaries and the peoples of East Asia who are touched by their lives!
