How to Donate to Our Mission

We have been getting questions from people about how to donate to our mission. As you may know, we are committing to serving the poor and proclaiming the Gospel with Family Missions Company (FMC) for two years. In order to do this, we have to raise 100% of the funds, which includes airfare to and from the country we will be working in, living expenses for our family, and money to serve the needs of the poor whom we'll be living alongside. For our family of nine, Family Missions Company suggests we raise at least $3,000 a month.

We consider those who support our mission as Mission Partners as it is only through their prayers and donations that make the mission possible. Therefore, they - along with us - respond to Jesus' Great Commission to go and make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:19-20). John Paul II reminded us in his encyclical “Mission of the Redeemer” that this missionary mandate is the supreme duty of the Church and is incumbent upon all Christians. Since not every Christian is called to physically go out to the nations as Jesus commands, supporting missionary activity is the way every Christian can respond, and it's an integral part!  We, in turn, will be lifting up our Mission Partners and their particular needs and intentions in prayer through our Morning Offerings each day and at Mass.

Donations can be made online through our bio page on Family Missions Company's website: www.erismanfamily.familymissionscompany.com. There are options for making a one-time or monthly donation. One-time donations will help with individual expenses such as Intake fees, language school (if needed), and airfare. Monthly donations are our greatest need, however, as these make our mission sustainable.

Donations can also be made by mailing in a check. They should be made out to “Family Missions Company” with “Erisman Family” written on the memo line. If you would like to make it a monthly donation, please indicate that on a separate note along with the check. Mail it to:
