If you are supporting missionaries overseas at the moment, heres something to think about:
The falling value of the pound is significantly reducing the value of donations made in UK Sterling destined for workers overseas.
While supporters here in the UK may still be giving the same amount, those receiving gifts overseas are likely to be suffering a shortfall and may be embarrassed to request further financial support to make up the difference.
For example, in Japan, the £1 they had in their pocket a year ago was worth only 62p last month, that is equivalent to a 38% pay cut for a missionary!
