An End-of-Year Ask is an important element of a Sustaining Missionary’s MTD strategy. It is a good annual rhythm for connecting with and cultivating your ministry team. Please consider sending a special ask to your ministry partners as this calendar year closes.

This End of Year Ask could be for a tangible and current need (rising health insurance costs, increase in monthly rent, needing a vehicle, baby on the way, etc) or it could be a call to the action of generosity (which allows you to build in times of strength to help in the lean times). It is an important part of your MTD lifestyle to give your ministry partners opportunities to be engaged in your ministry through opportunities to give.

Statistics indicate:

• 31% of all charitable giving happens at year end.
• 12% of all giving happens in the last three days of the year.
