Integrity, Viability, and Accountability

Perhaps there is no greater challenge in missions than money. Paul reminds us, For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man (2 Cor. 8:21).

Money sufficient to assure the viability of one’s life work carries with it an insidious ethical virus that can easily infect the integrity and accountability of its stewards. Missions and Money provides a unique level of credibility and transparency as it calls for evangelicals to reevaluate their relationship with money, both personally and corporately. Global case studies, workshops, and testimonials cover a broad range of topics such as:

Misalignment between fiscal theology and practice
Environmental stewardship, community development, and business as mission
Mobilization, fundraising practices, and faith financing

Short-term missions, patronage, and dependency
Power dynamics and structural injustice

Missions and Money was not written by experts in the fields of investment, money management, or fundraising, but by men and women whose calling as missionaries, pastors, and administrators has brought them face-to-face with the complex, real-life issues involving the intersection of money and ministry.
