Finances Q&A
How do I think about the support I raise and the people who give?
All resources belong to God! He has called me to serve the church and the kingdom through GOHOP for at least the next three years, if not longer. To do this work, I am looking to God to provide all my needs and inviting others to ask God if they would like to reallocate some of the resources they have been given to support this work.
Jesus taught much about money and was very concerned that it would not control or own us. Money is a resource used to help us all be about the kingdom work he has called each one of us to. I am seeking to raise the amount of money that would free me up to serve at my full capacity.
I am honoured when anyone decides to partner with me through prayer or financial giving! It will be my joy to pray for you and share about the impact your support is having!
How much money do I need?
Based on my current living expenses, and goals with GOHOP, I need $2,375 per month. I will be developing some side income through other sources to supplement my ministry. Though my schedule will flex as needed, this works out on an hourly level to $25/h for 20 hours/week. I have to raise an additional $275 per month to cover employer taxes and $100 to cover credit card fees (see below) for a total of $2,375.

How do I budget my money?
I am happy to share with you my budget if you’d like to see how these resources will be allocated. My main costs are: rent, food, giving, care for my two cats, savings, and vehicle upkeep and insurance. I aim to live simply, joyfully, and generously.
Does GOHOP keep anything?
None of the money I raise goes to GOHOP. However, Canada Helps is the website we use to collect all credit card gifts and they take a small percentage to cover credit card fees and contribute to their ministry. One-time donations: 4%. Monthly Donations: 3.5%. I have built this amount into my budget so you don't need to worry about it!
Does GOHOP help?
GOHOP contributes to but does not fully cover my costs for: fundraising, personal development and spiritual direction. GOHOP has some budget to cover the cost of art materials and other supplies for communal use in the prayer room. I may on occasion do special GOHOP fundraisers for materials needed for special creative arts projects.
How can I give?
All the details can be found on the donate page, but essentially you can give through this page. If you are giving monthly, please use the Show Scheduling Option button to select a date in the first half of the month. You can also give via cheque. Thank you!
