Missions Policy
Hey guys this could be something that we could do in the MBA of Texas.
1. The Church Requesting Funds may do so for 3 years
A. The First year the can request for Full Salary
B. The second year they can request for ½ Salary
C. The third year they can request for ¼ Salary
2. The Missionary Pastor Requesting funds may do so under these guidelines.*
A. The first 3 years on full salary
B. The next 2 years (after the 3 years) on ½ Salary
C. The Next 2 years ( after the 3 Full salary and the 2 half) on ¼ salary
D. Any time after this time designated funds will be applied.
3. The Church Planter requesting funds may do so under these guidelines.**
A. The First 5 years on full salary
B. The next 2 years ½ salary
C. Any Time after 7 years designated funds
* The reason for the Missionary pastor to only get 3 years is because he needs to start getting winged off and allow his church to at least pay half of his salary.
** The Church planter may be able to stay on Full salary for the first 5 years at that location. If he moves on after the five years he can be on full salary for up to 5 years at his next location.
This is just some thought I have, add to them, throw it away do what you want with them, I would like to see what you guys have to say about this.
Have a Blessed Day

Good stuff you're thinking about there. I'm not sure what the answer is - but I agree that it is too easy to stay in what seems to be a perpetual state of mission status because of this problem.
I wonder if we need to address building needs rather than salary caps though. Not every church plant needs a half-million dollar facility for its 15 members.
If our new church plants (and our association) weren't burdened with paying off these enormous debts, perhaps they could pay a pastor's salary.

Okay Stubbs, who gave you all those ideas. They are way too good for you to have come up with them by yourself! Ha! Well, regardless of who came up with them, they do sound good. See you this week at the meeting.

Well, at least no one can bring up this blog to revote on it and change it. Just ask Lawrence what happened to his Interstate / Foreign Missions report. At the end of the Wednesday night meeting, you can get all kinds of stuff done.
