Giving Information
You are an essential part of our ministry. Latin America Mission is funded by thousands of modest gifts that, together, enable the LAM community of believers to be a tool for God to transform hearts, lives and cities. We take seriously the responsibility to be excellent stewards of donations that represent a sacrifice on the part of every donor.
Partnering financially with Latin America Mission is a way of joining the work of hundreds of missionaries, pastors, professionals, and ordinary servants who are sharing Christ's love and seeking justice for the oppressed.
All gifts made to Latin America Mission are tax deductible. Thank you for your generous support.
LAM Giving Philosophy
Latin America Mission and its missionaries strive to approach fundraising as a mutually transformative endeavor. We view donors as more than mere funding sources, but as friends and partners in integral mission who can be ministered to by their act of giving just as much as the LAM community is.
We want you to donate because you are moved by what you have heard about our work, or because you had a powerful experience yourself interacting with our ministry. LAM does not believe in using images or media to exploit the hardship of others, and we encourage you not to give out of guilt.
We trust God as the source of all provision, so we live out of that reality by committing to not coerce, manipulate or mislead anyone into donating to LAM. Instead we will openly and confidently share our needs with you and will offer them to God in prayer. We will not overwhelm our donors with excessive appeals or junk mail.
Finally, we believe partnership encompasses far more than financial giving, and that our partners can contribute in equal or greater ways through faithful prayer, advocating for any of our many ministries, and choosing to experience missionary service themselves.
Go deeper by reading A Spirituality of Fundraising, by Henri Nouwen. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
