How do you steward your money?

I’ve begun to see that this question is quite a sensitive one in light of the ailing economy. (My funding has dropped as a result and I’ve had to take a $3,600 pay decrease.) Both in my support networks and in my support networks and in myself, I’ve seen our fists close tighter on the little we have while anxiety and doubt eat away at our faith in God.


As a missionary who’s income is completely dependant on those who contribute to the ministry, I think this is a completely valid question for my supporters to ask. And I am very glad for the accountability that Michelle has called me to.

Here’s the breakdown in more detail. Giving includes our giving to missionaries as well as our local church. Debt is self-explanatory. Rent is now a mortgage payment. Monthly expenses are things like groceries, gasoline, utilities, medical bills etc.. and annual expenses are things like travel to visit our families and car insurance. Please feel free to call us into more in depth accounting!
