Summer Missionary Fianical Support
Summer missionaries are required to raise their own support. All funds must be channeled to the AMF Home Office in order for the donor to receive a tax-deductible receipt. These contributions will then be placed into a fund for you under your name and account number. Support contributions are subject to a 2% Practical Missionary Helps allocation.
Payroll checks are issued on the 25th of each month and include the balance of funds received during the first half of the current month. Summer missionaries are entitled to receive up to $500 per week in salary whether single or married. In addition, you can be reimbursed for travel at $.16 per mile driven and for other ministry-related expenses approved by the Regional Director (paper supplies, printing, teaching materials, telephone - long distance & phone cards).
All expenses must be recorded and submitted on the appropriate Financial Report form at the end of each month with receipts attached. As there are 2 parts to Social Security, the "employer" portion is deducted from your total support and listed as Fringe Benefits. The "employee" portion is a salary deduction from your Gross Salary on your check and will be shown as such on the check stub. A worksheet showing these calculations will accompany each check.
