5. 15,500 Billion - Total Annual Income 300 Billion - Giving to Christian Causes (1.8% of total income of 15,500 Billion) 17 Billion - To Foreign Missions (5.7% of 300 Billion or 0.11% of 15,500 Billion) Annual Global Church Finance in US Dollars

6. Where Foreign Mission Funds are Spent ~87% goes for work among those already Christian (14.8 Billion). ~12% for work among already Evangelized but Non-Christian (2.04 Billion). ~1% for work among still Unevangelized and Unreached people groups (0.17 Billion) Annual Global Church Finance in US Dollars

7. Worldwide, believers give $17 billion on average to missions 5.5% of all giving to Christian causes, or about $2,125 a year per church. To make up an additional $600 million needed would require only $80 more per year from each church! Only 80 cents more a year per person! If the U.S. 144 million born again adults, the cost would be only an extra $4.16 each. Finances

19. There are 800 million Great Commission Christians in the world. Assuming an average church size of 100 persons, we only need one new missionary from every 250 churches in order to send out the additional 32,000 that are needed! Personnel

20. Prayer is something that everyone can do. Using the “hour a day” method, a church of about 50 praying members could readily supply the prayer support for an entire team of four missionaries if they only prayed 5 minutes a day. Prayer
