Giving

Every organisation needs a sound financial base from which to operate. Listed below are the principles on which Crossnet’s finances are run.

1) We encourage all our regular members to join in contributing generously to meet Crossnet’s anticipated expenditure. The Bible teaches again and again that generous giving is a spiritual exercise which results in immense spiritual blessing to those that give.
• If at all possible please give through "Stewardship". This enables us to reclaim the Income Tax in a simple and efficient way. A form can be accessed here.
• If you don't pay Income Tax, gifts can simply be made by cheque (made payable to 'Crossnet') and handed to Nick. If you would prefer to make a one-off or regular electronic transfer directly to Crossnet's bank account, please contact Nick.

 Giving

2) Crossnet is a mission organisation. We have a policy of giving away 10% of all income to assist and promote mission work which includes giving for the relief of poverty, supporting other mission enterprises and evangelism.
• A list of the gifts we made in 2006 can be accessed here.

3) We believe in transparency in all our financial dealings.
• The annual accounts for 2006 can be viewed here.
• We do not disclose details of donors or private gifts, or Welfare donations.

4) The main source of income is the private gifts from Crossnet members.
• When Crossnet was launched in 2004 we received several generous grants from supporting organisations, but these have now been used up.

5) We are deeply convinced that this is an area of opportunity for spiritual growth and development. Jesus taught more on the topic of money than any other issue, even the issue of faith.
• We ourselves give sacrificially to Crossnet and we invite you to join in this ministry with us.
• When appointing leaders to new tasks we look for those whose faith is evidenced by sacrificial giving.
• We try and cultivate a culture of generosity throughout Crossnet, seeing giving as enjoyable and as a privilege. It is an important spiritual discipline in an age of materialism and acquisitiveness.
