Giving Through CMC is Official!

This post is so that we can be faithful to our supporters who are asking us “how do we give to you and your ministry”?

We want to post many things, but we will post this one and let it settle for a day or so in order for us to make sure we are communicating clearly. We have waited to get all the paperwork and processing done before we tell people it is a “go” and well, it is finally done! We are officially signed up with Central Missionary Clearinghouse CMC.

So now churches and individuals can click HERE to give to us online, you can also set up automatic withdrawals just like what we had with NTM.

This is the process to begin giving online:

1. Click the LINK or go to this web address and follow the steps, http://www.cmcmissions.org/donate
2. Click CLICK & GIVE in the middle of the screen
3. Sign up for an account on the page that opens.
4. Go to your email. Open the email that you are sent and follow the instructions in it.
5. Once you have entered the “Click & Give” site with your new login you can choose to make a donation.
6. Click on the second icon from the left (looks like a check with a pen on it).
7. Then select whether you wish to give using your credit card or through your bank account. (Please realize that if you use your credit card about 3% of the entire donation will be deducted each time you donate by your credit card company. However, if you set up the gift through your bank the transaction fee will be a flat $1 no matter the donation.)
8. You will need to fill in your information with either one you choose. You can set up recurring donations with bank account or credit card at this time.
9. If you have chosen the bank account route then you have 3 tabs that each need to be filled in. Remember that your routing number is on the far left and your account number is next to it on any check that you have.
10. In the second box labeled ”Giving Details” – select “Stokes, Seth” from the drop down box on the left (labeled select amount) If the memo field does not show, then click the pen/notepad icon.
11. Input the amount you would like to give.
12. If you would like to make this a recurring donation you will need to click on the box labeled “Setup Recurring Gift”.
13. Click Submit. Click terms and agreements and confirm one more time, then you are all done!
14. You will be taken to a page that gives you all the details of your gift. This is a printable page if you would like to print it to keep. This is not a “tax deductible” receipt. An email confirmation will also be sent to you automatically. You will receive a “tax deductible” receipt directly from CMC once the gift has been processed by them.

To give via mail follow this procedure, copy and paste the section that applies to you into a word document, print it out, and fill it out:
