We thought it would be nice to have one post that has all our financial details that could serve as a reference for anyone who wants more information on our financial situation. This page is updated regularly; so all the details are current.
Our need:
When I served at St. John’s from 2004-2006, it was necessary for me to raise 100% of the support that enabled me to live and serve in Cairo. With my new role, St. John’s is providing a package structured similarly to that of the Senior Pastor; we will be provided with housing and a portion of my salary. St. John’s has asked that I find support for the remainder of my salary and my moving expenses. Our need is approximately $1650/month and $8,000 of startup expenses (any of the startup expenses that are not used will be reallocated towards our monthly salary). The money that is donated enables us to afford daily expenses such as food and transportation, as well as large expenses such as health insurance, plane tickets, student loans, etc.
How to Give:
Anglican Frontier Mission is partnering with us as we serve in Cairo, providing the financial structure that ensures that all gifts are tax deductible and receipts are provided for all gifts. If you are interested in making a tax-deductible gift, there are a couple of ways to do so. All gifts need to be designated “Ben Robinson” so that your donation contributes to our account rather than AFM’s general fund (We are not considered regular workers by AFM, so the general fund does not support us). You can give in the following ways:
Check: Make checks payable to Anglican Frontier Mission, and write Ben Robinson in the Memo section of the check. Mail to Anglican Frontier Mission, PO Box 18038, Richmond VA 23226
Online giving via AFM:
AFM accepts online donations here. After selecting the amount you would like to give, a screen will come up that allows you to review your gift. There will be an option to "Add Special Instructions for AFM", please slick on it and write that the gift is for “Ben Robinson.”
All gifts are tax deductible, and the donor will receive a receipt by mail. We receive regular updates on the status of our account with AFM; if our need is met, we will update this page immediately. We live on a budget that is influenced by the funds we raise. It is very helpful for us to know the giving timeframe of those who give regularly so we can budget accordingly. If you intend to give regularly and didn’t fill out a card that was sent to AFM, we would very much appreciate if you could Email us and let us know or download and print the this form, and send it to AFM.
Thank you so much for considering our financial situations, we deeply appreciate the various means of personal, spiritual, and financial support you provide.
Ben & Emily
