While Via is not required by the IRS to file a 990, as it has received 'church status' by the IRS, out of a desire for full financial accountability, we are audited annually by&nbsp;<a href="https://capincrouse.com/who-we-are/about-capincrouse">Capin Crouse</a>.

Accountability

80% of the world’s evangelical Christians live in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Over the last 50 years, God’s church has grown exponentially in these areas.

These regions have tremendous mission sending potential to help bring the gospel to unreached peoples, but they currently send only 20% of the world’s cross-cultural missionaries!

Project Outcomes

<ul>
<li>Build a sustainable local fundraising culture in all nations</li>
<li>Train missionaries and church planters on how to build financial partner teams</li>
<li>Identify champions to then train local trainers and coaches</li>
<li>Consult with agencies on building infrastructure needed to receive and distribute funds</li>
<li>Translate materials and resources needed</li>
</ul>

Why this Matters

Support raising is the biggest barrier to the field. Help move the needle in the global church from a scarcity mindset to one of God&rsquo;s abundance and provision, so that building sustainable indigenous sending movements becomes a reality.

Project Details

Ongoing Translations and International Trainings:
<ul>
<li>Translations:&nbsp;We translate all the materials into the main languages. We train facilitators and coaches from the champions identified prior. We run more Bootcamps in the local languages with our Via facilitators alongside our new facilitators. We work with local agencies to track the progress of these missionaries&rsquo; efforts.</li>
<li>Launching New Trainings: Help us launch new trainings in each of our 50 target countries. We have a 3-step process to equip and train national facilitators for our trainings. We bring in a multi-national team for the first training, in the next training we normally co-teach with a national leader, and our third step is to fully equip a national training for ongoing trainings. Long-term, the participants normally cover the training event costs, but as we launch into new countries, we need to assist them in the initial expenses.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Future Training: India ($90,000 Investment Opportunity)
<ul>
<li>February 2024-February 2027</li>
<li>India has the highest number of unreached people groups in the world. They are the best people to reach the lost living right among them. Currently, due to changes in laws surrounding external funding, they lack a sustainable way to fund ministry workers for these efforts. India has the laborers and the will to reach these groups, they desire a sustainable way of funding missionary work locally.</li>
</ul>
Future Training: Europe ($25,000 Investment Opportunity)
<ul>
<li>November 2023-November 2025</li>
<li>God is on the move in Europe mobilizing his people to the nations. The United Kingdom, Germany, Romania and Ukraine all have evangelical populations over a million believers who have high economic resources to send missionaries cross-culturally. Many of these countries have the will to send workers but are struggling with a sustainable partnership fundraising model to allow them to fully focus on sharing the Gospel.</li>
</ul>
Future Training: Global Church Generosity ($33,500 Investment Opportunity)
<ul>
<li>June 2024</li>
<li>Scarcity is a mindset that poisons believers worldwide. It stems from a lack of understanding of God&rsquo;s character and nature as a giver and provider. In churches this often is demonstrated by us living as though the resources to complete the mission of God are dependent on what we have in our hands currently, forgetting the God who is the owner and provider of all. This is a key and strategic transition to make sustainable indigenous sending movements to become a reality in the global south church. Until we shift from scarcity to a mindset of God&rsquo;s abundant provision, local missions sending movements will always be viewed as competition for the lack of resources available to the church. God&rsquo;s pastors, leaders, and people need to have their perspective changed to that of ministry being born out of His generosity and the generosity of His people.</li>
<li>We plan to partner with Generous Church to guide us through writing a 1.5 day training and nine lesson study on Biblical generosity, and then beta test the 1.5 day training in Kenya in July 2024.</li>
</ul>

Budget Details

Budgeting includes the cost of support raising Bootcamp training, coaching training, updated videos, training our facilitators and coaches, as well as accounting for materials needed and the travel involved. Some projects require LMS course development and beta testing.

Your investment to Via's Generosity Team has a multiplying and compounding effect in mission sending worldwide. We are helping hundreds of mission agencies and tens of thousands of missionaries mobilize generosity and create ministry partnerships from their personal networks. We desire a global missions workforce to be spiritually healthy, vision-driven, and fully funded.&nbsp;
