Fundraising Pledges

Here is some information to clarify where we are at regarding fundraising.  We are still waiting to see the results of this most recent trip.  Your financial pledge will help us reach our goal of going back to Peru by the end of 2013.

When missionaries such as ourselves, are fundraising to return to the field, the RCA has no way to determine if the gifts will continue without some kind of commitment from the donors.  Thus, they require 100% of our determined budget committed, or pledged, before we leave for Peru.  Our first term has a three year budget.

One time gifts do count in our fund for start up costs, such as airfare and home appliances.  It also helps determine when we can start to receive a stipend.  A stipend will allow Albino to stop working and focus on fundraising; we will not have to worry about travel and time-off work.  Those gifts also currently provide us with health insurance.  When we are out in the field, the RCA factors in the one-time gifts to determine our level of funding. 

If you have already given a one-time gift, and believe you could pledge that amount or another, please contact the RCA Global Mission at 1-800-968-3943 or 616-541-0882.  Also, if you have set-up a recurring gift online, please contact the RCA office to let them know them if it is in fact a pledged amount. Donations can be done online at https://rca.org/rodriguez

If you need more clarification, please give us a call or the RCA Global Mission office at 800-968-3943 or 616-541-0882.  We apologize for any confusion, miscommunication, or for extra work required on your part.  We appreciate your support in all the forms it comes.
