DALLAS — Mission:Dignity recipients received a welcome surprise in their October assistance payments: The neediest recipients saw their monthly grant amounts grow to $450 for singles and $600 for couples.
Qualified individuals receiving the largest payouts must have at least 25 years of Southern Baptist ministerial service and must meet guidelines for income and assets. Eligible recipients with at least 10 years of full-time, salaried Southern Baptist service receive $225 per month, if single, and couples receive $300.
Mission:Dignity will now pay out a little more than $7 million annually to more than 1,800 recipients.
GuideStone receives no Cooperative Program funding for Mission:Dignity and no GuideStone Funds underwrite the ministry. All proceeds come from the gifts of individuals, local churches and Sunday School classes. One hundred percent of all gifts go directly to the aid of recipients.
