Defining a Missionary is difficult...

We support individuals whose main work is in missions, which can take many forms. Because our clients have diverse callings, it's challenging to define them with a single statement. Here are some basic guidelines to check eligibility:

First and foremost, please understand MSS handles your current financial donations and enables tax deductible giving for United States Citizens. We do not employ missionaries and provide them with salaries.

  1. Must be actively in missions. Proof of this must be in the form of newsletters sent regularly, with a minimum of quarterly.
  2. Newsletters must contain regular evidence of missionary activities, such as, evangelism, church planting, pastoring/teaching, Christian studies, serving in a ministry, etc.
  3. If your status in missions is uncertain, we will request a new letter showing what you are doing in missions along with new references vouching for you.
  4. As soon as it has been determined your no longer serving in missions, your account will be terminated.
  5. All non-US citizens will be required to be a part of an existing mission organization to be eligible. 


We must uphold our bylaws as a nonprofit and stay above reproach. We cannot put all of our clients at risk due to negligence on our part.

Examples

Missionary 1

Fulltime Overseas

Some of our clients are serving full time overseas with established ministries like YWAM, and others have started their own ministry with a small team. 

Missionary 2

In The States

Other clients are located fulltime in the States. They are serving ministries, some established and others created by themselves. Their fulltime work is missions and ministry. 

Missionary 3

Traveler

Other clients are constantly on the road, both in the States and overseas. Their primary vocation is ministry and missions. 

Missionary 4

Solo-preneur

These clients are not connected to any other ministry, but they have a small team of people who act as their advisors. These people sign and attest to the missionaries being in missions full time.
