Nelson and Sandra Hayashida are independent missionaries of the Baptist faith. They receive no funding from any denomination or organization and welcome your contribution today. Checks can be made payable to: First Baptist Church of Kenova 1120 Poplar Kenova, WV  25530 Please indicate ZITC - Hayashida in the memo line.  If you wish to specify how the money is used please include a note stating the desired designation.

100% of all donations will go directly into the Hayashida account for missions. All donations are tax deductible and each donor will receive an end of year statement of financial contributions. Since the Hayashidas are volunteers (independent missionaries) and are not receiving any funding from any organization or denomination, all donations will be used for the the Hayashida travel expenses, housing and utilities, and ministry/operational budgetary needs. Until funding rises to a level above the stated needs, the Hayashidas will do without retirement or medical benefits. The Missions Committee of the church will monitor all financial disbursements to the Hayashidas for their ministry.

Donations can be made as a one-time gift, or they may be given on a monthly (25, 50, 100, for example) or quarterly basis. If you intend to commit to a monthly giving plan, for example, it would be helpful for the Hayashidas that you indicate so in order for better budgeting of monthly expenditures to take place. Monthly or quarterly pledges are the means by which controlled spending can be implemented best.
 
One can designate funding for a specific cause or project listed on the Partnership page. If this is done, that specific gift will be used only for that project or designation. You may write to Nelson.Hayashida@gmail.com for any questions you may have regarding your contributions, or contact the church directly by writing to Vicki Riggs, the Financial Secretary, at vickilriggs@yahoo.com. If you would like a quarterly record of contributions, that can be arranged as well.
