4. What if missionaries receive less than is recommended?

Nuevos Horizontes does not require missionaries to have 100 percent of their recommended support in order to begin or continue service. However, serving with less than the recommended support brings stress greater than the typical family faces when expenses threaten to outstrip resources. For missionaries, the added burden is deciding whether to fund the ministry God has called them to, or take care of family needs. With less support than is recommended, they may not buy items needed for ministry. Medical expenses or vehicle repairs may not be funded, or retirement planning won’t occur. When you help a missionary reach their recommended support level, you help equip them for effective ministry.

5. How much of my gift will the missionary or the project receive?

Each gift you give will be used in full for the expenses of the missionary’s ministry or project you designate.

6. Are my gifts tax-deductible?

All gifts to Nuevos Horizontes for support of missionaries and projects are tax-deductible. As required by the IRS, gifts should be given with the understanding that they are under the full discretion and control of Nuevos Horizontes. You may also make personal gifts — for birthdays or Christmas, for instance. If you designate a gift as personal, you will receive a non-tax-deductible receipt.
