WorldVenture is a faith mission.  This means that WorldVenture and its missionaries are responsible to raise the necessary support to cover the cost of doing ministry around the world.  This support comes from partners, like churches, family, friends, businesses, and other organizations, who have prayerfully committed to giving financially toward this goal.  These financial commitments range in amount and frequency depending on the partner and the need, but all are used to great effect to see God’s work accomplished.

There are many reasons.  Some are given out of a greater vision to accomplish the Great Commission, others because of personal relationship with the missionary, obedience to God’s calling, or even gratitude for what God has done in your own life.  Whatever the reason, we welcome your partnership with us as we take the Gospel around the globe.

That is completely dependent on the partner and what God is asking them to commit to.  For practical reasons, WorldVenture suggests that support commitments continue for one full term, usually 2-4 years, of the missionary being supported.  At the end of each term, missionaries will return to their home country for an extended time.  During this “home assignment” missionaries will report to their current partners, recruit new partners, spend time with family and friends, and seek any additional needed training before returning to their field of service.

The short answer is, “Ministry effectiveness is compromised.” One unique feature of missionary support is that it includes funds for the work (ministry) in the field on which each missionary serves as well as funds to support the family. Thus, a shortfall in support affects both. A significant shortfall makes it difficult to continue ministering and living overseas, and a trip to the States or an extension of home assignment may be necessary to find additional support. If support does not come in for new missionaries, they cannot begin ministry overseas.

Monthly support includes all of the items that your budget at home might cover—and then some. For example, this would be food, clothing, shelter, transportation, salary, social security, utilities, applicable income taxes, health and life insurance, and retirement. Committed support also includes overseas cost of living adjustments, travel, children’s education, transportation, ministry funds, etc. A flat rate of all total support goes toward missionary and mission care, including the operation of the mission, publications, overseas supervision, administration in the U.S., board meetings, medical emergencies, recruiting and deploying new missionaries, research and planning, training, and counseling.

Like many people pay their bills, missionary support can be received monthly, quarterly, or annually. Contributions can be made via checks, credit cards, electronic funds transfer, money order, stocks and bonds, and even cash. Gifts and commitments can be made, managed, and reviewed online using our partner community.

In a word, “partnership.”  As a partner in ministry, you should expect that your support is being used for gospel impact and that your missionary periodically communicates that to you and other partners.  This may include prayer letters, e-mails, photos, online videos, social media updates or other forms of communication from your missionary.   In addition, your missionary is inclined to pray for you – your needs, hopes, and plans – as they become aware of them. So, expect yourself to reach out to them, too!

Please contact us at 720-283-2000 with any questions you may have. WorldVenture has donor relations personnel whose goal is to act as your advocate to the mission. We believe it is a miracle that people willingly and joyfully send financial support for a missionary month in and month out over many years. Our goal is to foster a long-term relationship, satisfying to you and to the WorldVenture missionaries you support.

Thank you for your desire to support global missions in such a creative way! Asset giving with WorldVenture is simple and personal. Consider contributing Stocks and Bonds, Real Estate, Personal Property (such as jewelry, vehicles, collectibles, boats, motorcycles), Donor Advised Funds, Business Interests, Corporate Giving, or Employer Matching Gifts.

You can give securities by downloading our Security Gift Transfer Form. If you’d like to make a donation of a different asset, please contact us at 1-800-487-4224 or giving@worldventure.com and ask to speak to someone in Partner Ministries about donating assets.

Firstly, we are incredibly honored that you are considering WorldVenture as a beneficiary of your will or estate plan. The wealth you’ve earned on earth can continue engaging the world for gospel impact beyond your lifetime.

To accomplish this, you can simply name WorldVenture as a beneficiary of your financial accounts, life insurance, or your will or trust. It’s that simple, yet it could be the biggest financial gift you’ll ever make to missions!

Beneficiary Name: Conservative Baptist Foreign Missions Society, dba WorldVenture
Address: 20 Inverness Pl. E, Englewood, CO 80112

We would be delighted to assist you with the process. At the very least, please let us celebrate your decision with you! Please contact us at 1-800-487-4224 or giving@worldventure.com and ask to speak to someone in Partner Ministries about including WorldVenture in your will or estate planning.

WorldVenture provides quarterly statements digitally via email. You will receive a link to your annual statement for tax filing purposes toward the end of January.

You can also download past annual statements (2025 and older) at www.worldventure.com/taxstatements.

If you are in retirement care, severely handicapped, incarcerated or otherwise unable to access your contribution records online, please contact us at 1-800-487-4224 for assistance.

This is done for security purposes. The global worker or project to which you contribute is located in a restricted access area or context. It is our policy to protect them by listing those contributions on your receipt, statement, and online by providing only their fund number identification followed by “Worker Name Withheld” or “Project Name Withheld” (for example, “1234-567- Worker Name Withheld” or “1234-567 – Project Name Withheld”). Again, we do this for their security and safety. If you have additional questions, you must contact the worker or project leader directly, as we do not provide information about them via email or over the phone.

No. You may not send personal gifts to missionaries by check to the WorldVenture main office. We cannot process those anymore. You must contact your missionary directly and make separate arrangements.

Please be advised that if you attempt to include a personal gift with your normal contribution check, we will be unable to process that check, which means we will be unable to provide your usual contribution funds to your missionary.

Again, we cannot accept personal gifts to your missionary; only regular contributions to their ministry support fund.

WorldVenture’s policy is to complete commitments 90 days after a worker resigns or retires.  When a worker is leaving WorldVenture, it is very similar to closing down a business.  Costs, such as ministry reimbursements, repatriation of personal items, and final payroll costs are incurred after ministry concludes.  Contributions continue to play a vital role in finalizing ministry activity and ending well.  As a donor, you are never under any obligation to contribute to WorldVenture and should you want to complete your commitment at any time, you can log in to your account online to end your commitment. Don’t have an account? You can register online at www.worldventure.com/register. You can also email us directly at giving@worldventure.com. Please note that you can end your commitment at any time via online registration; ending your commitment via email generally takes longer.

That’s easy! Please contact your worker or the project leader directly. They’ll be happy to confirm their number with you and they’ll want to thank you in advance for your generosity. (And, you’ll definitely make their day with a phone call, email, or social media message about that!). At WorldVenture, the giver is always more important than the gift. Then go to www.worldventure.com/give to make your contribution.

We’re sorry to hear that, but we’re also here to help! Please first visit our Giving Portal FAQ page for assistance. Contact info is also readily available from that page if you’re still having trouble.
