Why
The International Mission
Board?
No
relief funds are used for
administrative or promotional
purposes
Because
gifts through the Cooperative
Program and Lottie Moon Christmas
Offering pay for basic support
and administrative expenses for
missionaries around the world,
board personnel can use all gifts
designated for relief efforts on
actual relief
ministries.
Assessment
teams visit areas to determine
needs
Relief
monies are not spent simply on
the first opportunity that
presents itself. They often work
with local Baptist churches and
other evangelical Christians in
determining where help will do
the greatest good -- not just at
the moment, but in the
long-run.
Field
personnel then request funding
for specific projects
The
International Mission Board's
World Hunger and Relief
Ministries office and Office of
Overseas Operations evaluate each
project by criteria designed to
assure effectiveness. Project
leaders follow up with two
reports -- one right after
funding is approved and another
when the project is completed,
returning any unused funds to be
reallocated to other relief
projects
