Show Me the Money

In response to the de-funded church planters in Missouri, the St Louis Metro Baptist Association, under the direction of Darren Casper has formed a Church Planting Fund called "Show Me Partnership." It is a way that people can assist those church planters whose funds from the Missouri Baptist Convention will be cut off January 1, 2008 (18 days from now) because of a decision made on December 10, 2007.
I personally spoke with the three Acts 29 church planters who will be losing their promised funding from the Missouri Baptist Convention (MBC). Each one said they have faithfully upheld the abstinence agreement and are dependant on the funds for their personal income up to $1,000 per month.
The St.Louis Metro Baptist Association started the fund with a donation of $10,000. Some small churches in Missouri are chipping in, and others are needed to fill the gap.
These church planters have been screened and approved by the North American Mission Board as well as the Missouri Baptist Convention. Because of their affiliation with Acts 29, their promised funding is being cut. If you would like to assist those church planters during this time of unanticipated shortfall, you can send a check made out to:
