(“MC”) sponsors donor conferences to fund the growth of ministries that make missionary disciples:
- evangelize or disciple (or both)
- are person to person or small group based
- have great growth opportunities
Each ministry has demonstrated effectiveness and seeks funding to grow, replicate, or scale, together with the grace of God and plenty of hard work. MC's donor packet describes each ministry and our evaluation of its growth opportunity. MC reports to donors the outcomes of their donations.
