empty tomb, inc.’s Mission Match’s focus is now on churches helping, in Jesus’ name, to meet the goals to reduce the rate of under-age-five child deaths in 40 countries.

These 40 countries, as of 2015, were behind the curve in meeting goals set by world leaders to reduce the rate of child deaths.

A church in the U.S. can apply for a matching contribution from $500 to $3,000 in $500 increments.

The church mission projects can, for example, support medical workers, provide a specific item needed at a medical facility, or furnish supplies that contribute to child survival. It is understood that other age groups might also be assisted by the projects.

Mission Match is seeking 30 churches to launch a next phase in developing this mission incentive tool. Churches can apply for matching contributions for their medical mission projects.

Mission Match’s focus on under-age-five child survival builds on more general mission work done by churches from 2002 through 2016 with matching contributions.

From 2002 to 2016, churches could apply for Mission Match matching contributions for any type of mission project the congregation chose. A total of 86 churches from 23 states carried out 112 projects during those years. Mission Match provided $222,000 that was matched by a reported $335,115 raised in the congregations for their projects.

In this next phase, at least 30 congregations can receive matching contributions for their new or expanded medical missions projects to benefit child survival in any one of 40 countries.

The list of 40 countries included in the Mission Match focus is available at missionmatch.org on the 40 Countries page.

Churches can find information about applying for a Mission Match matching contribution at missionmatch.org and selecting the Church Application page from the menu.
