We are currently on staff as 1099 contractors with both Cypress Point Church and Compassionate Hope Foundation to conduct overseas missionary work on their behalf. CPC is our sending church and main support base, while CHF owns and operates the various Homes Of Hope across Southeast Asia that we serve in. For full transparency we follow strict accounting practices and track all our mission expenses which are available to our donors at request.
Many foreign missionaries are forced to work for their visas and income, typically as English teachers. In some countries it can be dangerous to openly minister and so this becomes their entryway to reach students, parents, teachers and neighbors. However, Thailand is historically friendly to Christians and so no such danger exists there so one problem with that model of the working is that the best hours of your days and thoughts are spent on your day job rather than in ministry.
We are also called to work overseeing and operating childrens’ homes which is full-time work in itself. While we are on staff with both CPC and CHF, the income we receive from them is 100% donor-funded so without your support we cannot continue in our ministry work. Both organizations maintain their own separate and dedicated pool of donor funds just for our use, paid directly into our bank account each month while we live overseas.
