Giving
Financial Contributions
PW Groups contribute financially to the work and witness of the organisation in three ways:-
1. The Mission Fund for Home and Overseas
PW aims to ‘highlight the need for local and global mission’. Donations to the Mission Fund are used to support:-
(a) Local Mission, through:
- giving an annual grant to the Board of Mission in Ireland towards the training and support of deaconesses. Deaconesses serve in congregations, the community,
hospitals and the prison service.
- giving financial support to South Belfast Friendship House which offers friendship in the name of Jesus to people in a needy area of South Belfast.
- funding PW at a central level so that PW members can be equipped and motivated by events/publications to encourage the women in their local areas to become disciples of Christ,
in keeping with the Mission Statement of the organisation.
(b) Global Mission, through: - giving an annual grant to the Board of Mission Overseas
towards the training and support of missionaries appointed by the Board.
(c) The PW Office so that it can provide effective administration and so facilitate all of the above ‘local and global’ missionary endeavour.
2. Membership Fees
Each PW member pays an annual membership fee. A minimum amount is recommended by the PW Central Committee. This is primarily used towards the administration of the organisation.
3. The Birthday Project
Donations to the Birthday Project are encouraged as an expression of gratitude to God for His goodness throughout another year. Specific projects to be supported using these donations are chosen annually by the PW Central Committee. Details of the current Birthday Projects can be found under Local Mission and Global Mission.
