The Global Witnessing Challenge has made it even easier for you and your team to participate next year by helping you to become sponsored, both before and during the Challenge.

Teams will now be able to rely on a radical means of sponsoring their activities, thus enabling them to afford their travels and upkeep.  There are 2 classic ways that you and your team can be financially and physically supported throughout the event:

Private Financial Pledges

Before and during your travels you will be able to raise financial sponsorship by referring members of your church, your workplace, family and friends (as well as people you subsequently come into contact with around the world) by directly pledging their support of your efforts through our secure, e-commerce facility on this site.

This unique fundraising tool makes it possible for you to raise funds without the usual stress and hassle.  Funds pledged in this way will be directly credited into your nominated bank or Paypal account.  Talk about automating the hard business of raising funds.  So start telling people from today about how they can help you go out into the nations on their behalf!

Support in Kind

Teams will be further supported on their global travels through the generosity and willingness of churches, businesses and kind individuals who all want to see the Kingdom of God extended throughout the world, in their lifetime.

No team should feel totally alone and unsupported throughout their extensive travels, thanks to the physical and logistical support unselfishly offered by members of the (Christian) public to teams travelling through their local area.

This support will be offered in the form of help "in kind", namely, supplying accomodation and meals, local transport, use of the internet, interpreters, supply of bibles and other witnessing materials, etc.  The list of ways people can support these brave, committed teams along their journey is almost endless.

Will YOU be part of this Challenge too in your local area, knowing that others are sacrificially going out on your behalf to witness to the entire world, to the glory of God?  See the many different ways everyone can assist here.

Generous offers of support will be channelled through this official Challenge web site, and teams will be able to carefully plan their routes to take advantage of these offers and linking up with local individuals and churches.  So if you want foreign Challenge teams to visit and witness in your local area, all you have to do is offer them your hospitality and practical assistance - don't worry, teams will be sure to keep you on their radar!

This totally supports the biblical principle of members of the body of Christ joining together to the encouragement and building up of the whole body.

Christian Ministries

A portion of funds raised through our online sponsorship module will be channelled to 3 officially sanctioned Christian ministries which are also designed to reach the world for Christ.

Running Costs

Finally, to enable this ambitious global event to take place a certain amount of necessary, out-of-pocket expenses needs to be sourced externally.  Most of the early development of this event has only been possible through the voluntary and unselfish efforts of disciples who are mindful of spiritual fruits.  To enable us to generate needed finances, a very minor portion of funds raised through this site will be earmarked for recovering the development and ongoing running costs associated with the Challenge.

We welcome anyone who wants to help fund our operating costs - not as beggars, but so as to give you the opportunity to sow into God's Kingdom and thereby utilize your resources (and what you're best at doing) that you may share in the blessings of the Gospel.

Contact us if you'd like to make any contribution - please think of others when you do this: not us.  When you do, you'll realise that it's a lot easier to sow into God's Kingdom, and not man's.
