Webinar
RE DROPPING YOUR SUPPORT
Should Churches Fund Home Staff and Retirees?
Originally Presented: February 6, 2014
Presented by Ellen Livingood Catalyst Services

Description
Many churches routinely reduce or drop financial support for missionaries of retirement age and workers who move to an administrative position. But the questions are not quite so black and white. In this session, we will highlight three perspectives (church, missionary, and agency) on these and some wider issues of funding, suggesting crucial points of dialog about good stewardship and missions priorities.
