We welcome your questions.

We are frequently asked...

How does Global NIM find and get connected with your international partners?

This is easily our #1 question. The answer is, "It depends." Many of our partners (we call them "mission directors") are individuals whom we (Board or Committee members) have met. In other instances, we have received recommendations from those who are already serving the Lord and will vouch for the new contact. In a few cases, the mission directors found us via a web search and contacted us first. In these two or three instances, we work diligently to validate their identity and outreach work. In no case do we commence a financial sponsorship without first gaining this confidence through networking and prayer.

How much of my donation goes toward administrative costs?

Only 5% of your donation is held for administrative; however at the end of each year, we determine how much of that account is a reasonable carry-forward and the balance is returned to project funding. Thanks to an all-volunteer staff and careful cost control, administrative overhead has been less than 5% of all donations since Global NIM began in 2004.

What kind of support is Global NIM able to provide to its international partners?

Prayer, relationship, ideas/practical advice and financial support; but of all these things the importance of prayer support cannot be overemphasized.
