1. Why doesn’t IHOP Tallahassee pay you to be on staff? Are contributions to individual missionaries really a tested & proven way to fund missions?
The largest missions organization in the world that pays its staff a salary is Focus on the Family with 1,200 full time staff members. Yet between Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and Campus Crusade, 40 – 50,000 individuals successfully raise missionary finances as well as tens of thousands more in other organizations. By having others support the missionaries of IHOP Tallahassee we are more capable of calling and equipping people to an extravagant lifestyle of prayer. Individual missionary support is a historically and biblically proven way to support missionaries.
2. I am already giving to my local church.
Please know that I am not asking anyone to stop giving to his or her local church.

4. How much should I support you?

Just inform me so I can plan accordingly.

Yes; you will receive a statement at the end of the year for tax purposes. (A receipt will be mailed to you automatically if your total gifts are more than $50 for the year. Otherwise you will have to request your receipt.)
