Missioner Fund

Some Inspire Missioners choose to work part or full-time with the Inspire Movement. In order to do that they raise financial support for their living costs under the umbrella of the Inspire Movement using donation platforms. This means they can receive donations which may be tax deductible in the USA or gift aid eligible in the UK. You can read more about giving to support specific Missioners below.

The Inspire Movement also has a dedicated Missioner Fund that exists to facilitate generous giving in order to provide financial support to Inspire Missioners. The Missioner Fund is used to:

  • help cover the costs of specific training Missioners may need;
  • provide opportunities for Missioners to go on Inspire retreats;
  • contribute to expenses where they are not covered in other ways;
  • assist Missioners if there is financial hardship.

To make a gift to the Inspire Missioner Fund you can use any of the methods outlined on the giving page, or click the buttons below and select ‘Missioner Fund.’ Please add a note or reference to your payment so we can designate your gift to the Missioner Fund. If you are a tax payer in the UK please complete a Gift Aid declaration so that we can also claim 25p for every £1 you give. Read more about Gift Aid in the UK here.

He is fundraising support so that he can continue his Seminary studies and give all the rest of his time to developing discipleship through fellowship bands and house fellowships, particularly with Seminary and University students.

Samantha Meadows

Samantha and her husband, Phil, are the co-founders of the Inspire Movement. Samantha has been raising funds for the Movement since it first began and has encouraged people to give directly to the Movement. For a time she received some remuneration for just a few of the many hours she worked for the Inspire Movement. As we have developed more extensive opportunities for Missioners to fundraise their own support in order to give their time to working with Inspire, Samantha is now following that example.

Samantha continues to provide administrative support to the multiple teams and Missioners across the worldwide Movement, as she has done for more than 15 years. She also leads the editorial team for Inspire communications and is developing the role of Missioner Coordinator to increase the opportunities for networking through Inspire around the world.

Samantha lives and works bi-locationally between the UK and USA and can receive fund-raising support in both regions.
