How Staff Members Raise Their Salaries

 

 

Why do staff members raise support instead of Great Commission Ministry Ethiopia (GCME) raising it for them?

We are a nonprofit organization and have no central funds. Staff members, including the Director of GCME, raise support to cover salaries, benefits and expenses. Then each staff member has a team of partners who pray for him or her.

Central fundraising would limit the number of staff members. As a result of our many staff members, hundreds of thousands of people hear the good news of God's love. As the largest mission agency in the Ethiopia and the World  it would not be possible to have as many missionaries as we do were it not for each staff member raising his/her own support.

How is my staff member's salary determined?

Salaries are determined by age, number of children and geographic factors. In addition, a staff member may raise funds for a retirement plan.

When should I begin to send in contributions for my staff member?

It would be most helpful if you could start right away. Many new staff members work part time or full time while raising support. As soon as they have enough coming in, they can quit their other jobs and focus full time upon raising their support. The more time they can focus upon raising their support, the sooner they will be able to report to their ministries.

How long am I expected to support my staff member?

That is a decision between you and the Lord. Our desire is that you would support your staff member for as long as the Lord enables you to do so..
