Teaching fields are in Ghana, India, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Peru, and the Philippines. The purpose of the aid program is to provide financial assistance to churches to enable them to support a full-time ministry. Aid is gradually diminished over a six-year period. It is the intention that the recipient church grow and become self-supporting. Such aid makes it possible for a church to hire a full time pastor or associate pastor.
Additional funds are also available to help start new churches.
This program consists of people, churches, and organizations that are prepared to offer assistance to churches that are in need of more adequate buildings for worship, Christian education and fellowship. Appeals may also be granted for land acquisition as well as start-up costs for new churches. Two appeals are issued each year, in the Spring and the Fall. Eighty-six appeals have been issued since this program began. Funds are not available for general operations.
