How is InterAct funded?

InterAct Ministries is a faith-based mission that depends upon the gifts of individuals, churches and other organizations to fund the ministry.  We don’t have a a product or service to sell that would produce the income to pay our operational expenses, such as promotion, ministry projects and missionary salaries.  As we tell our story through a variety of means, God plants in the hearts of His people the desire to give.  Our best story tellers are our own staff members.  We give them the responsibliity of raising funds for us, most of which is used to pay their salaries.

How much a member is required to raise is determined by factors such as ministry location, type and length of assignment, and marital status.  As an example, a couple from the U.S. and serving in Russia is currently required to raise approximately $4,000/month (US dollars) to cover their living expenses, which would include groceries, transportation, housing, medical, retirement funding and ministry-related expenses.  Additionally, each member is required to raise an amount for the general operation of the mission.

Funds for living and ministry expenses may also be received through non-employment self-support (e.g., personal retirement, inheritance, savings); or non-ministry employment (some restrictions may apply).
