Losing the Mission Overhead expenses of non-profits and denominations is causing a loss of respect. As non-profits grow there is always a danger that expenses overtakes the Vision of the cause. Many American world mission organization spend the bulk of their funds on staff and expenses stateside and only designated funds make it to the field. Many large benevolent organizations spend as much as 80% on overhead. Many denominations send most of their funds on ever growing administration with very little going to the mission of the church. Meeting Administration salaries offer become more the goal of organization than the original Mission.
Most of the time it is the people in the system that tells us why it can’t be done without them. I’ve seen states have great youth ministries using local leadership. The AG seems to have great success with state leadership coming from the state.
