Financial Accountability in
Mission Partnerships
Accountability from the third world side to us? It’s our money isn’t it—they should be held accountable to us. (right??)
Or Accountability from us to the third world side? They need it and we should provide it! (right??)
What do you think “Financial Accountability between Mission Partners” is?
We need to be accountable to each other and it is ‘not’ just “Financial Accountability”. Mission partners need to have faith in each other that they are both in this mission for the same reasons. Both sides are playing very different roles, but the end result has to be the same goal.
And by the way---it’s not our money anyway---we are only stewards of the money. Our job is to see that the money is used for the intended purpose!
Actually—it’s a two way street!

5 Stages of Mission Partnership
1. Fact finding on available mission opportunities
2. Narrowing the list3. Exploratory trip to your chosen mission
before any commitments are made4. Making a commitment with your mission
partner5. Renew, revisit and readjust the commitment
on both sides.
(This list over simplifies the process—each step can take months or years to accomplish)
Fact Finding on available mission opportunitiesWhat type of mission opportunity are you
seeking—medical, school, building, otherWhat do we have to offer to a mission
opportunity—funding, willing missionaries, mission support, prayer support
What types of support are available mission opportunities looking for?

accountability to each otherExploratory committee (travel group) needs

Grow the faith and trust between partners---how???Plan regular mission trips with small groups of
interested mission minded participants—they want a relationship not just your money!
Invite their leaders to visit your church and community –meet you on your turf. Why??Builds a stronger relationshipWho better to speak at a fundraising eventReinforces that you are not just in this to send money—you
care!Creates stronger interest in the mission project among
your church community and other mission minded people
Making a commitment with a mission partner
Have expectations of your partner—accountabilityDo ‘not’ just send money—require some sort of
financial support for what the funds are spent on!Require some record keeping of daily, weekly,
monthly activities at the mission—like daily attendance at a school, # of patients seen at a medical facility, school achievement records, records of medical procedures done
Accountability (not necessarily financial) builds respect between the two sides. Requiring other info shows that there is a genuine interest in their lives
Making a commitment with a mission partner
Renew, revisit, readjust commitment
As the mission project grows, larger commitments may be necessary to keep the project moving forward
As the project grows there needs to be an expectation that the partner needs to take on some ownership or financial responsibility---teach self sufficiency
As stated above, regular mission trips build relationships, relationships build sustainability, sustainability builds lasting relationships
Seeing is believing—believing is seeing!
