Financial Arrangements

This program is resourced using a partnership model where GSCers will be responsible for developing relationships with partners who invest both financially and through prayer support. GSCers are required to develop financial partners to cover certain costs related to their service assignment. GSCers will receive Partnership Development (fundraising) training and must meet certain support thresholds before placement in the field. GSCers are responsible for raising funds to cover their monthly stipend and in some cases housing expenses. CBF Global Missions covers other costs associated with GSC service assignments, including insurance and programming expenses. CBF will also provide a letter for student loan deferment as needed.

Living Arrangements

Living arrangements vary and are determined in conversation with the career Field Personnel currently serving at the ministry site.
