Where does the money come from?
Ultimately everything we use come from God - and we always emphasise our dependence on Him.
Sometimes gifts large and small come in what seems to be a miraculous provision. However we believe that generally God supplies by more mundane ways. Crosslinks believes that it is part of our work to inform the Church of the work which God has given us to do, and encourage their participation
To that end we share information about our costs and income.
About half of the Crosslinks annual budget comes from individuals, and about half from supporting churches.
We encourage individuals and churches to promise to give regularly to mission partners and study partners - as well as give to projects.
Increasingly, mission partners are doing the necessary work to raise support to cover their expected costs while abroad.
We receive no money from "central" church funds, but we are very grateful to some trusts and also to Development Cooperation Ireland who help some of the work that we do. If you know of anyone involved in a trust who might like to help please do put them in touch with us
