Day 2 Of foreign mission funding: 87% goes for work among those already Christian; 12% for work among already evangelized, but Non-Christian; 1% for work among the unevangelized and unreached people. (Baxter 2007, 12) Only .1% of all Christian giving is directed toward mission efforts in the 38 most unevangelized countries in the world. (Barrett and Johnson 2001, 656) American Christians spend 95% of mission offerings on home-based ministry, 4.5% on cross-cultural efforts in already reached people groups and .5% to reach the unreached. There are 430,000 missionaries from all branches of Christendom. Only between 2 and 3% of these missionaries work among unreached peoples. (The Traveling Team) As a church, we need to think strategically and intentionally about whom we partner with and how they/we are accomplishing the Great Commission. Thankfully we have great partners and cooperate with missionaries who understand and do what Jesus would do if He were here in the flesh. Please continue to give to Missions through our church so that the world may know who Jesus is.
