Missions Funding Crisis?

I'm in Atlanta at an AGWM Summit and having some fascinating conversations as to why AG missions giving is down $13 million and why so many missionaries are having a terrible time raising and maintaining their budgets.

Here are the critical questions, I think, that need to be answered:

* Why aren't more pastors compelled to give more money away and challenge their folks to more sacrificial generosity?

* Why aren't our people eager to give more?

* What is missing in the Missionary-Pastor relationship?

* What can AGWM do to help Missionaries?

* What can AGWM do to help pastors and churches?

God's work has never been subject to economic conditions. He will always fund His work. So, what's wrong? What is God trying to tell us? What are our donors trying to tell us? What are pastors trying to tell AGWM and Missionaries?
