You can participate in what God is doing around the world through your financial gift to a Shepherd’s Staff missionary!
In addition to prayer support, each missionary with Shepherd’s Staff needs financial support to live and minister in a foreign country. Every missionary partners with churches and individuals to raise the necessary funds for their salaries and ministry expenses.
A donation to Shepherd’s Staff’s Core Ministry Fund allows us to accomplish our main mission by:
- Supporting the development and use of workshops, seminars and web-based resources designed to help churches “send direct” well.
- Helping churches provide care for returning missionaries through our “R and R” program. Often the severity of “culture shock” for returning missionaries exceeds what is encountered when a missionary first arrives on the foreign field. Your donation helps to train missionary care givers and facilitates ministry sessions for returning missionaries.
- Providing pre-field missionary security and safety awareness training. Many missionaries with Shepherd’s Staff are serving in countries where it is not permissible to openly share the gospel. Your donation helps us to prepare missionaries for living and serving in these areas and allows us to maintain a level of security monitoring.
- Helping us to fund other important ministry initiatives as they arise.
