For someone to receive a grant, they must have a personal relationship with one of our staff and fund/mission directors. Through prayer, friendship, and communications, we discover specific financial needs of leaders and their teams seeking to advance the Kingdom of Jesus Christ through disciple making and church planting. All of these missionary partners have newsletters either monthly or quarterly where they share photos, testimonies, stories, and prayer updates on the progress of their missionary work. Furthermore, we schedule phone calls with our partners to catch up on how they're doing, and how they used the funding we sent to them. We monitor the use of all grant funds through 1) newsletters, 2) mission updates, and 3) phone call or video meeting interviews. It's the responsibility of the staff member who has granted the funds through their designated fund to their missionary partner to pay attention to how the grant is used and to hold the ministry partner accountable to integrity, honesty, and faithful stewardship. Anyone can lie on a written report. For this reason, we ensure grants are used faithfully and honestly through personal relationships with our partners who receive these financial resources. We use this strategy to ensure that all resources entrusted to Blazing Trees are used for nonprofit purposes when shared with domestic and international partners through strategic grantmaking. true mission trip: Uganda 1 1200 church planting training for USA soldiers 1 2400 mission trip: Finland 1 152 mission trips: India 1 3700 mission trip: Russia 1 1000 Part I, Line 2 We award grants only to trusted missionary partners.
