For churches and pastors
When God calls someone
in your church.
A member of your congregation has a calling that is bigger than a church program. To follow it, they need a way to receive tax-deductible gifts, stay compliant, and keep going when it gets hard. MAP Global gives that ministry a nonprofit home base, in partnership with your church, never in place of it.
The right question
You want to help them follow it.
Some people look at a gifted believer and ask what that gift could do for their own mission. You are asking how to help them follow the calling God gave them.
Starting a nonprofit from scratch is a lot to ask of one family, and a lot to add to a church staff that already has a full week. MAP Global handles the nonprofit side so your member can start well and your church can stay focused on shepherding them.
Who does what
Clear roles from the start
Your church
Stays their spiritual home. Pastoral care, spiritual oversight, and accountability all stay with you. A healthy local-church connection is a requirement of partnership with MAP Global.
Your member
Leads the ministry. The vision, the relationships, and the work all belong to them, and MAP Global will never claim them as our own.
MAP Global
Provides the home base: tax-deductible receipting, donation processing, IRS compliance, a web presence, coaching, and member care.
For your church
Keep sending them. Leave the paperwork to us.
Your church can keep praying for them, commissioning them, and giving to their work. Gifts from your church and from individual donors go to MAP Global, designated to their ministry, and every donor receives a tax-deductible receipt. Your staff does not have to build a separate financial system for one ministry.
In 2022, when Josh Hardman left to serve the Punan people of Indonesia, the MAP Global team joined his pastor, his family, and his team of ambassadors at his commissioning. Read about Josh's ministry.
