Our Mission Budget and Upcoming Trips

We are making our budget public so as to be accountable to our donors and the body of Christ. If you would like a complete copy it can be provided. Below are some items that we need covered so we ask for your prayers. We are hands-on involved in all of the ministries and projects listed below each year. (following the budget items is a list of our first few trips in 2009).

We are thankful for the parts of the budget that have already been funded, including: $100 monthly for Ukraine family camp, $100 monthly to support a needy girl and her family in the Ukraine, $100 monthly to support local ministry among the homeless in Roanoke, $4000 for mission scholarships. Also in 2008 money has been provided for the following projects on primitive Fuga Island in the Philippines: funds to build a church, provision of a generator to the church, funds for the purchase of a boat for the pastor and ministry.

World Impact Now Budget Needs for 2009


1. Ukraine Drug/Alcohol Center: $100 monthly, $1200 annual. We are hands-on involved in this ministry each year.

2. Kairos Prison Ministry: $100 monthly, $1200 annual. Help us send folks that cannot afford it into US prisons to get involved in a ministry that Chuck Colson of Prison Fellowship has said is the best prison ministry in the States. You can go to www.kairosprisonministry.org to learn of their work.

3. Philippine Gospel Radio: $100 monthly, $1200 annual. We can totally fund a weekly broadcast which proclaims the gospel all over the northern Philippines very cheaply.

4. Philippine Church Planting: $700 monthly, $8400 annual. We want to build a minimum of one church yearly in the Philippines and it can be done very cheaply.

5. Support Poor Pastors in the Philippines, Ukraine, and India: $2050 monthly, $24,600 annual. These figures represent monthly help to nearly 60 poor pastors who are in the trenches. Individuals can support one pastor monthly for $25.

6. Help us send teams overseas: $2000 monthly and $24,000 annual will help cover team leader air travel and provide funds for on the field ministry for at least 6 trips in 2009. These funds would eliminate $500 or more in costs for each individual who wishes to go on a trip with us.

7. Support Todd and his family in missions. We currently have $12,600 of $36,000 which we are seeking to raise for next year.

Upcoming Trips in 2009:

1. India: Feb 1-13, pioneering ministry

2. Scotland: March 5-15, construction.

3. Fuga Island, Philippines: April 9-21, evangelism and church planting
