From The Gospel Coalition:
“In a helpful article at Christianity Today, Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra explains that “organizations in which missionaries depend on direct contributions from families and churches” are faring better than groups—like the IMB and C&MA—that pool resources. According to Steve Moore, President of the Mission Exchange, a $50–$100 gift from a family to a missionary they know is “the last type of mission-related giving to be affected in rough economic times.” However, with high unemployment and many churches reducing their mission budgets, many missionaries in the fundraising process are feeling the effects.”
