Mission Fund

Please note that the Fund is currently closed to applications.

Living in a missional way can often mean living with your eyes wide open and seeing a million opportunities every day. Opportunities to reach out to the neighbourhood or make a difference. Correct an injustice or find a way to reach a group of people you've never been able to before.

Sometimes these opportunities come easily and we know just how we should proceed. And then sometimes they seem so close, but just out of reach.

Are you already involved in mission, but seeing new opportunities to open even more doors? Are you seeing fruit, but wondering how God is going to provide financially in these tight times? Are you seeing a fresh idea, but not sure how you'll find the funds to make it a reality?

24-7 Prayer has set up the Mission Fund, a fund set up to help those within the 24-7 family (and friends) who are tying together prayer, mission and justice. It's for people who are out there living the ethos of 24-7 and seeing the opportunity to take the Gospel to the nations.

We are currently taking applications. All you need to do is fill out the handy form, which tells us what God's been up to in your part of the world and how a little money could make all the difference. We'll look at the applications on an ongoing basis (we may have a few follow up questions) and try to make the tough decisions about where to invest this fund. Think of it as seed money to grow big missional ideas.

Pete Greig writes, "Prayer, mission and justice are the heartbeat of 24-7 Prayer and this fund is to help create a connection point between all of the prayer and mission and justice initiatives."

We want to hear your ideas!

Criteria

We will consider applications from those who...

  • Are starting or running a project that has measurable impact on those who don’t know Jesus and/or those who are poor and oppressed. This could be anything from a drug rehab scheme to an evangelistic prayer tent at a punk festival.
  • Submit a clear "SMART" (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timed) strategy with their application
  • Submit a report with photographs afterwards.

 

The Mission Fund is not intended to fund...

  • Travel (even travel related to ministry opportunities)
  • Projects that build up the church. Although that is incredibly important, this is a Mission Fund so we want to use it to fund mission work!
  • Prayer projects that are not evangelistic in nature. A prayer tent at a secular music festival would definitely be considered. Setting up a prayer space for a church unfortunately would not as it is not missionally focused. 

 

Please Note...

  • Incomplete applications will not be considered.
  • Application process will normally take approximately two months from time of application to advisement of our decision (though that timeline is subject to change).
  • If your project is due to start within two months of the date of your application you must be aware that even if your application is successful we may not be able to fund it in time.
