Covenant Relationships

In a Covenant Relationship the congregation and the missionary agree to pray for each other and to share in the joys and struggles of each other’s ministry. The congregation agrees to provide financial support for the missionary and the missionary agrees to keep the supporting church informed about his/her mission work and the context in which it takes place.

The guidelines for establishing a covenant relationship are $5 per member or $2,500 or more per congregation per year. Missionary Support is the priority for the Advance.
