Full Funding is both a gospel issue and a staff care issue. Gives me great joy to be helping staff kill these two big birds with one (MPD) stone.
Nelson Musipa, Zambia
Timm and Carol Njuguna, Kenya
Full funding honors God and it enables us to pursue and fullfil His purposes (vision & calling) unhindered. It gives me much joy to see gospel workers embrace BFR and trust God by recruiting partners to the work.
Susan Nantongo, Uganda
I have come to appreciate fundraising as an opportunity to open people's hearts to the purposes of God. My asking is an opportunity to help people not to live for themselves but rather to invest their resources in eternity, and that is what is most fulfilling, to know that you are making a difference.
Naftali Oswago, Kenya
Many called to ministry see some activities as spiritual but fundraising as a necessary evil.
Mary (my wife) and I are passionate about helping gospel workers develop Biblical convictions about the spirituality of fundraising and gain practical skills to invite financial ministry partners to join them and together pursue the vision and calling from God.
Zack Litaba, Kenya
We go back to the drawing board and remind the Lord that He called us and that we are His servants obeying His call. We also check on our financial partners' list to see who we haven't talked to or what we haven't done. Then by faith we do our part and we believe that God will give us results. Indeed, He has come through with new partners.
ASIA
Royston and Jade Koh, Singapore
Every gospel worker knows that full funding is the miraculous sign that demonstrates that God is with him as he pursues the advancement of the Kingdom. My role as funding coach is to enable staff to experience this reality.
Roger Yeo, Singapore
EUROPE
Michiel Nap, Netherlands
My dream is to enable all colleagues in the field, based on a culture of financial freedom, hope and positive results, to carry out the Navigator vocation from a financial base of 100 percent on budget.

Marion Stolte, Canada
Trust and confidence. I love helping people grow in trusting God in fresh ways and increase their confidence in knowing what to do each week. One missionary said “my confidence has increased 10 fold – thank you”.
Ken Chi, United States of America
Contrary to my initial response, Biblical Fundraising has little to do with money, but instead who God is and what He wants us to do. Just as I've personally experienced how God set me free to experience His generous character, my desire is to help fellow Gospel workers in their journey to seeing God as who He is through this wild idea of Biblical Fundraising!
Rob Mahon, United States of America
I am greatly motivated by Jesus’ example in Luke 8 and Paul’s example in Philippians 4.
Seeing staff reach full funding greatly encourages staff, engages more and more ministry partners in Kingdom work and brings great glory to God.
