Denominational missionaries usually do not have to raise support. Their financial support comes from the denomination, which gives a percentage of tithes and offerings to missionaries.

Faith missions require each missionary to raise their own personal/ministry support. Faith missions are not supported by large denominations. Each missionary finds people who want to support him or her in order to perform a certain ministry.

In our case, Asian Access is a faith mission. We are encouraged by the fact that others have joined us on our ministry team. These partners not only give financially for this work to be done -- and thus are financial investors -- but also pray regularly for us and our work. As "managing partners" in this endeavor, we highly value our support development partners.

Together, we are a team investing our time, talents and treasures in order to achieve eternal results for our Lord.
