Synopsis

Integrity, Viability, and Accountability

Perhaps there is no greater challenge in missions than money. Paul reminds us, "For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of man" (2 Cor. 8:21).

Money sufficient to assure the viability of one's life work carries with it an insidious ethical virus that can easily infect the integrity and accountability of its stewards. The Realities of Money & Missions provides a unique level of credibility and transparency as it calls for evangelicals to reevaluate their relationship with money, both personally and corporately. Global case studies, workshops, and testimonials cover a broad range of topics such as:

• Misalignment between fiscal theology and practice
• Environmental stewardship, community development, and business as mission
• Mobilization, fundraising practices, and "faith financing"
• Short-term missions, patronage, and dependency
• Power dynamics and structural injustice

The Realities of Money & Missions was not written by experts in the fields of investment, money management, or fundraising, but by men and women whose calling as missionaries, pastors, and administrators has brought them face-to-face with the complex, real-life issues involving the intersection of money and ministry. Read on and be challenged to change.
