financial Policy & transparency

The short version

I am a support-raised missionary. That means I don't have a salary. My ministry is funded by people who believe in it and choose to partner with me. Every gift can be tax-deductible and handled through Missions Enablers International, or MEI.

How my support works

There are two financial processors that I use: for tax benefits, you can use MEI; for normal donations (non-tax-deductible), I use Squarespace payment processing.

Your donations can be processed by MEI, the 501(c)(3) I serve with. When you give, you get a tax receipt straight from them, and I get a full record of every gift. It keeps things clean, accountable, and honest.

Where your money goes

You should know exactly what your partnership funds. My monthly support covers:

  • 70% for living expenses. Housing, food, and transportation here in California.

  • 26.5% for ministry costs. Travel to churches and partners, resources, and outreach.

  • 3.5% for MEI's administrative fees. The small cost of processing donations and tax reporting.

My goal is $6,500 (before taxes) a month in committed support, and I'll always be honest about where I am toward it. If you ever want the full breakdown, just ask. I'd rather answer the question than have you wonder.

My stewardship commitments

  • I send monthly updates on what God is doing so you can see your partnership at work.

  • Praying for my partners is part of my job, not a footnote.

  • I treat every dollar as sacred. Because it is :)

My fundraising ethics

  • Your giving is an invitation, never an obligation.

  • I will never pressure, guilt, or manipulate anyone into giving.

  • If your situation changes and you need to pause or stop giving, no explanation needed.
