Give Online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mbfn.org\">mbfn.org<\/a>. A gift can be made to any Missouri Baptist church with a credit\/debit card or check from the comfort of home.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It can be designated to your home church by a simple request.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Once your church official has called and added your church\u2019s name to the MBF list, any interested donor can go to www.mbfn.org and make a designation to your specific church.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>LifeWay has a fee they administer to the front end of the giving. (2.69% + $.30 for credit card transactions and $0.30 for Echecks)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">2. DOWNLOAD the GENEROSITY by Lifeway APP. Another way to give is to download the free Lifeway Generosity APP. Upon opening the APP search for Missouri Baptist Foundation. Create an account by calling MBF then, select your church from the designation list.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>(Your church must be registered through MBF before this option is made available).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Again the fees on credit and debit is the same as the text to give, echeck not available.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">3. Text to Give at 52014. Another convenient giving option is to send a text.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Once your church\u2019s name has been entered, all you have to do is text to 52014, type \u201c@mbf\u201d the word \u201cgive\u201d the churches unique identification, the dollar amount you want to give and then hit send.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You will receive a secure link to confirm your gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Click on the link to complete the transaction.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You can type \u201cback\u201d at any time to stop the process. (The same fees apply as above, giving by Echeck is not available.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Donors do have the ability to include the cost of the transaction in the total amount they donate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">While there are other online giving alternatives with slightly lower fees, MBF is providing a solution for churches who do not have the ability or wish to invest in managing their own online giving options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">We are doing everything possible to help you and your church with your financial needs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you want your church information added to our giving lists, desire information emailed out to you about other services or simply want to call with additional questions, your MBF is here for you at 800-776-0747.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">As Rev. Greg Laurie says, keep three things in mind while dealing with this Corona Virus.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Remain PRACTICAL, wash your hands often, don\u2019t shake hands or hug friends, PRAYERFUL, remember those sick and the caregivers including medical professionals, and PROCLAIM your great hope through Christ Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s3\">MBF staff and trustees are praying for Missouri Baptists through these unprecedented days.\u2002<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A gift can be made to any Missouri Baptist church with a credit\/debit card or check from the comfort of home.\u00a0 It can be designated to your home church by a simple request.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":31106,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":"","_wpscp_schedule_draft_date":"","_wpscp_schedule_republish_date":"","_wpscppro_advance_schedule":false,"_wpscppro_advance_schedule_date":"","_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_selected_social_profile":[]},"categories":[5,292],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mo.
