MINISTRY SUPPORT FINANCES

Primary financial resources for our ServeBeyond ministries of church planting, theological education, and Asia Regional Coordinating come from churches and individuals who choose to financially support our missionary work. They donate toward our Ministry Budget or Ministry Expansion Fund, or both.

MINISTRY BUDGET

ServeBeyond account #2-2280

Our foundational Ministry Budget covers salary, housing, retirement contribution, ministry expenses (travel, office supplies, materials, internet, phone, etc.), medical insurance, ServeBeyond allocation (14%), ReachGlobal allocation on funds donated through them (5%), etc.

2023 Budget
Our financial support team fully met our 2023 Ministry Budget of CAD131,291, or about USD96,000 (CAD10,941/mo or about USD8000/mo). Praise the Lord!

2024 Budget
Due to higher travel costs, our 2024 Ministry Budget is CAD143,867, or about USD105,000 (CAD11,989/mo or about USD8800/mo).

A big THANK YOU to our support team for such faithful giving!

MINISTRY EXPANSION FUND

ServeBeyond account #2-2302

TOKYO MULTICULTURAL CHURCH Church Planting
Goal: up to CAN$1000 per month.

This fund provides a gradually reducing subsidy for launching and establishing Tokyo Multicultural Church.

A new church struggles with facility rental costs during the first years of its life. In Tokyo rental costs include damage deposit and realtor fees (4-6 months of rent), remodeling, and ongoing monthly rent. TMC’s rental costs, including utilities, are about CA$3000/mo.

Another big financial responsibility for a new church in Tokyo is its first pastor’s expenses. This TMC startup fund helps to cover the transportation and pulpit supply costs of its Japanese pastor.

We had hoped TMC would be financially independent in 2022. But covid has reduced the attendance at all TMC gatherings and events since 2020, with the result that tithes and offerings have been sporadic or low. So we are now prayerfully hoping that by the summer of 2023 TMC will not need much subsidy or no subsidy at all.

According to the official ServeBeyond wording for this startup fund, its purpose is…

…to help TMC in facilitating the transformation of lives by Jesus Christ and his gospel through providing a gradually reducing subsidy for pulpit supply and transportation costs of TMC’s Japanese language ministries pastor and for facility rental costs.

    HOW TO GIVE

    Donations to our ServeBeyond ministry can be routed through the Evangelical Free Church of Canada (EFCC) or ReachGlobal (EFC of America international mission).

    ServeBeyond/EFCC applies a 14% allocation fee to each donation. ReachGlobal/EFCA assesses 5% for funds routed through them. So if you are resident in the US and do not need a US tax deductible receipt (e.g., you are a church), then it is most effective to route your donations to our ministry directly through ServeBeyond.

    Personal gifts given through either the EFCC or the EFCA will become donations to our ministry account and cannot be used for our personal purposes.
