For most Christians in New Zealand, God faithfully provides through a job, business, pension or some sort of economic activity. People in WEC, however, perform a service that generally does not produce an income, either for themselves or for WEC. As they share their vision for the world with churches, small groups and individuals, God faithfully provides financial support for our workers.

There are several ways to give to a person.

• Send a cheque payable to 'WEC International' (see address below) with a note designating who and what the money is for.
• Via direct deposit into WEC International's account. For further details please contact the Finance Office.
• There is also the opportunity to give in kind, especially when people are on home assignment. They may need housing, a car, or holiday accommodation.

WEC does not make financial appeals. Our priority in serving is always to give. Therefore finance is not a dominant feature of any singular communication or ministry unless there is a relational context that allows the WECer to take the initiative in talking about finance.

No one in WEC receives a salary or wage from WEC. All people serving with WEC are volunteers, some full and others part time.

If you would like to arrange to leave WEC a gift as a part of your estate then please contact the NZ Director or Finance Office.

The answer is Yes and No! This is why WEC in New Zealand is two organisations: donations to WEC Aotearoa New Zealand (for work in NZ) are issued creditable receipts and the donor may be eligible for Donation Tax Credit. Unfortunately donations to WEC International for overseas operations or workers are not tax creditable.

2% of given support, which is capped at $60 per month, is requested from our workers.

No. But as a guide, before people go to a ministry area for the first time they need to have their plane tickets in hand, set up costs, several month's living expenses, and a good indication of continued support.

Each field determines a guide as to basic living and ministry costs within the country. On top of that each person decides if they would like to add components such as superannuation, home assignment travel, or insurances. The final level of support, then, is different for each person.

People serving in WEC who have low support are encouraged to seek the Lord in fellowship with their field leadership. If required the field will consult the wider leadership, including WEC New Zealand and their sending church/s to find solutions.

WEC the organisation does not have a large source of income and each person serving in WEC needs to see God, through his people or other means, provide both their personal and ministry needs. It does have some income through ministry activities, gifts, and bequests. Like all areas of WEC ministry, WEC New Zealand sees God provide for its role of facilitating Kiwis and their churches to plant churches among unreached people groups.

God directs our ministry, often challenging us to bold faith. Therefore, we do not let finance determine our ministry, rather God's hand on us as individuals and as a fellowship determines our ministry. Finances can be a part of the circumstances through which God guides us but they are never the only one.
