Staff Support 2025

Equip Disciples provides monthly supplemental income support to our staff members. These are indigenous ministers who are our missionaries in and beyond their own communities. Donors commit to sponsoring their staff members for one year. After that time, they may recommit or rotate off. Equip Disciples sends out semesterly email newsletters and snail mail general reports through the year.  More than one person can sponsor each staff member. So, if you want to sponsor a particular person, but do not have the funds to fully support them, that is okay. We will combine you with another donor. If you wish to sponsor someone, please email tammie@equipdisciples.org and let her know. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!
