Outfitters for Adventure
The General Fund is kept as a separate account from the Kenya Fund. Some donors to the General Fund designate how they would like their gifts used. Other donors to the general fund ask that their donation is used where it is most needed.
Several donors send gifts to support Neil Thielke’s ministry travel. Outfitters for Adventure (OFA) approves ministry travel expenses, for Neil Thielke, the President of OFA, but his monthly travel is budgeted according to the recurring gifts designated for Neil’s ministry.
The Kenya Fund is for designated gifts from donors. 100% of the gifts to the Kenya Fund are sent to Kenya as designated.
