Financial Accountability in

Mission Partnerships

Accountability from the third world side to us? It’s our money isn’t it—they should be held accountable to us. (right??)

Or Accountability from us to the third world side? They need it and we should provide it! (right??)

What do you think “Financial Accountability between Mission Partners” is?

We need to be accountable to each other and it is ‘not’ just “Financial Accountability”. Mission partners need to have faith in each other that they are both in this mission for the same reasons. Both sides are playing very different roles, but the end result has to be the same goal.

And by the way---it’s not our money anyway---we are only stewards of the money. Our job is to see that the money is used for the intended purpose!

Actually—it’s a two way street!

2. Narrowing the list3. Exploratory trip to your chosen mission

before any commitments are made4. Making a commitment with your mission

Grow the faith and trust between partners---how???Plan regular mission trips with small groups of

interested mission minded participants—they want a relationship not just your money!

Invite their leaders to visit your church and community –meet you on your turf. Why??Builds a stronger relationshipWho better to speak at a fundraising eventReinforces that you are not just in this to send money—you

care!Creates stronger interest in the mission project among

your church community and other mission minded people


Have expectations of your partner—accountabilityDo ‘not’ just send money—require some sort of

financial support for what the funds are spent on!Require some record keeping of daily, weekly,

monthly activities at the mission—like daily attendance at a school, # of patients seen at a medical facility, school achievement records, records of medical procedures done

Accountability (not necessarily financial) builds respect between the two sides. Requiring other info shows that there is a genuine interest in their lives


Renew, revisit, readjust commitment

As the mission project grows, larger commitments may be necessary to keep the project moving forward

As the project grows there needs to be an expectation that the partner needs to take on some ownership or financial responsibility---teach self sufficiency

As stated above, regular mission trips build relationships, relationships build sustainability, sustainability builds lasting relationships

Seeing is believing—believing is seeing!
