  • Missionary Application page 10 Commission To Every Nation

    Additional Agreements Commission To Every Nation allows each missionary to determine how they desire their support funds should be expended. While each of us trusts God to provide for our needs, we should not foolishly neglect planning ahead. As you are establishing your budget, the following expenses should be part of your planning. They should not be the part that will be funded only if funds are available. We want you to be fully capable of doing what God has called you to do, without being overly concerned about the things of this world. We need to know you are fully aware of what you are responsible to provide for yourself and your family, if you are married. Remember that the choice is yours.

    Medical Insurance I understand the value of medical insurance. __________ initial We have medical insurance __________ We plan to obtain medical insurance ___________

    do not intend to medical insurance We obtain __________

    Medical insurance is a necessary part of your support while on the mission field. To protect yourself, you need to provide for those undesired expenses. There are companies available in the United States who will provide this type of coverage and we will be glad to provide contact information to you. In some countries you can obtain in-country medical insurance much cheaper and still be provided a good level of medical care. If you opt to use in-country insurance, you need to consider how you could get back to the states if you became so ill you needed to be medically evacuated and then obtain medical care in the United States. This could be very costly. Commission To Every Nation cannot assume any costs for your medical care.

    Life Insurance I understand the value of life insurance. __________ initial

    Each of us knows we need to be prepared to consider the consequences of our death. While we have taken care of the eternal, we need to plan for those other consequences. Consider what expenses your family may incur as well as those long term costs of living if you are not there to help provide for them. Term insurance is normally the least costly way of obtaining this coverage. Commission To Every Nation can provide some suggested sources for this coverage.

    Other Planned Expenses I understand I should plan for these expenses. __________ initial

    Furlough costs - You need to set aside a portion of each distribution to cover returning to the states. Emergencies - While you can't plan for everything, it is wise to set aside some funds to cover emergencies. Start up costs - The amount you will need will vary according to what God has called you to do. Continuing ministry expenses - There is little purpose to head to the mission field and not be able to afford to minister. Anticipate these expenses to continue to increase over the y ears as you expand your ministry.

    Retirement Fund I understand the value of planning for my retirement age. __________ initial Of course, no one retires from God's work, but consider this a slow down fund! If you plan early it doesn't take a lot to build up a nest egg for the golden years. One study stated that as many as 70% of missionaries had little or no funds to provide for themselves when they reached an age where they could no longer physically minister.

    Commission To Every Nation can not provide any additional support to pay for these expenses, but we will do all we can to help you be as prepared as possible.

    Go to the ant....Consider her ways and be wise. Proverbs 6:6

    STATEMENT OF FAITHThis Statement of Faith is not intended to cover all Biblical truth but only to establish a basis for fellowship

    and cooperation so that we may “all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions”.

    The Scriptures The Bible is the inspired word of God to men, the infallible, all-sufficient, final authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21)

    The One True God The one true God has revealed Himself as eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Luke 3:22; John 14:12, 16, 28; 1 Corinthians 15:24-28)

    The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ ”In Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being”. ( Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:3) Jesus is the eternal Son of God who was with God and was God in the beginning. (John 1:1-3) He was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the virgin Mary. (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35) “He went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil” (Acts 10:38) He lived a sinless life - “holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners”. (Hebrews 7:26) “He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried and was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) He has now been “exalted to the right hand of God”. (Acts 2:33; Hebrews 1:3) “This same Jesus, who has been taken into heaven, will come back in the same way.” (Acts 1:11)

    The Fall of Man ”There is no one righteous” before God. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:10, 23; Isaiah 64:6)

    God’s Plan of Redemption ”Salvation is found in no one else” but the Lord Jesus Christ, “for there is no other name under heaven given by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) Man is saved by grace, through faith, not by His own efforts but as a gift from God. (Ephesians 2:8) God saves “us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.” (Titus 3:5-7)

    Water Baptism All who repent and believe on Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord are commanded in Scripture to be baptized in water. (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16)

    Present Work of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is at work in the earth today:

    · “to convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment.” (John 16:8) · empowering men to witness and confirming the word with signs that accompany it. ( Acts 1:8; 4:29-31; Hebrews

    2:3, 4) · producing the fruit of the Spirit in men’s lives. (Galatians 5:22-26) · giving various gifts to men “for the common good.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) · In response, believers are commanded to “eagerly desire the greater gifts” and to “try to excel in gifts that build

    up the church.” (1 Corinthians 12:31; 14:12)

    Future Events There is a coming resurrection: “those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.” (John 5:29; 2 Corinthians 5:10)) There is a coming judgment where any whose name is “not found written in the book of life” will be “thrown into the lake of fire” “which is the second death”. (Revelation 20:14, 15)

    The Unity of All Believers ”In Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” “For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body”. (Romans 12:5; 1 Corinthians 12:12)

    STATEMENT OFFINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP

    RECEIPT OF FUNDS In order to comply with existing tax laws, when Commission To Every Nation issues a receipt for

    offerings that come from any source, these funds become the property of Commission To Every Nation and the mission has discretion over how the funds will be used. It is our desire to honor the preference of the donor.

    ADMINISTRATIVE FUNDING Obviously, there are many administrative costs involved in handling and receipting funds. Rather

    than charge a 10% -15% administrative fee, as is customary with most missions, we prefer to follow the principle of tithes and offerings as laid out in Scripture. We are told to bring a percentage “into the storehouse”. A storehouse is the place we would look to draw from in time of need.

    Commission To Every Nation will be one of your “storehouses” from which you will draw spiritual and administrative help as well as the source for your monthly support. You will determine your co-laboring percentage that will be held to allow you to co-labor in the work of Commission To Every Nation. We do everything we can to maintain the expenses as low as possible and have been able to keep the overhead around 7% to 8%.

    We trust you to seek the mind of the Lord for your personal situation and determine what co-laboring percentage and any additional offerings should be invested in each of these “storehouses”. As you are obedient to the Lord, the administrative costs will be covered adequately. You will continue being able to have faithful stewardship of what has been referenced for your ministry and the Lord will be glorified as we each, together, trust Him to provide for all of our needs according to “His riches in glory”. Through your participation in this, we co-labor together to help fulfill the Great Commission.

    Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

    Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
