Ministry Partner Development FAQ

1. How are staff members of Campus Crusade for Christ (CCC) supported?

We are a non-profit organization. All our staff members, including the President of CCC, are fully responsible for raising their own finances to cover salaries, benefits and ministry expenses. In addition, we also raise a team of prayer partners to come alongside us in the ministry.

2. Who do you raise financial support from?

We raise our financial support from fellow Christians and our own churches.

3. How do you determine the salary scale?

As a commitment to care for staff members' welfare, our main goal is to provide sufficient salary so that they have enough to meet their present and future needs like housing and retirement. All staff members start with the same basic salary, with a yearly increment regardless of ministry assignment or leadership position. We take into consideration factors such as present cost of living and NS ‘backlog' for males.

4. What does your support provide for?

Amount that is raised by each staff member covers basic salary, as well as:

  • child and housing allowances, etc
  • employer CPF
  • ministry expenses (planning retreats, conferences, etc)
  • training, and benefits (insurance, medical and dental).

5. Does all my giving go to the staff member I am supporting?

All contributions given for the ministry of a staff member go into his support account. There is a 6% administration charge deducted from all donations, of which:

  • 5% is used for administrative expenses, such as overheads for running Operations Hub and Field offices.
  • 1% is used to help fund other Campus Crusade ministries and other mission agencies.

6. What happens if the staff member does not raise enough?

The Finance Team keeps track of the balance in the staff member's support account. Once the account balance drops to a negative, he will not be able to receive his full monthly salary. Instead, he receives a partial salary for that month. This is to minimize the deficit in his support account.

If deficit is outstanding over a period of 2 months, his ministry involvement will be suspended to make provision for him to focus on raising his support.

7. What do you do when there is a surplus in a staff member's support account?

The surplus reflects as a positive balance in the staff's support account. It enables the staff to reimburse for expenses such as ministry resources and medical expenses. It also helps to cover his salary for months when there are insufficient donations coming in.

8. Do you receive year-end bonus?

Staff members with sufficient balances in their support account will receive a Festive Gift (equivalent to one-month basic salary) in December.

Staff members who do not have sufficient funds in December will get their Festive Gift in January the following year provided their support accounts have sufficient balances.

9. What other provisions do you make?

Provisions are made for staff members with special needs, such as family and housing needs. Specific guidelines have been set in the Staff Policy as to the amount and the circumstance in which a staff member may request for a specific allowance. He will then have the responsibility to raise the support to cover for that allowance.

10. Staff members go for overseas mission trips and/or conferences. Do you have to raise support for every trip you make?

Yes, we have to. This is because the monthly support we raise does not make provision to cover the costs for these trips. Raising support for such trips also helps to generate prayer support.

11. What is the time frame of my commitment to support a staff member?

That is a decision between God and you. Our desire is that you will partner with us for as long as God leads you to.
