Financial Support
As with all OMF missionaries, our life and ministry are financed entirely by donations. If you feel led to support us financially, please use the following account. The transferred amount will then be used to cover a portion of our overall expenses (see below). If you would like to know more about our finances, please feel free to contact us at any time. We aim to be transparent and clear in all financial matters.

OMF Germany issues a donation receipt usable for tax refund in Germany to every donor at the end of the year. To ensure you receive this, please include your name and address in the transfer details. Please reach out to us if you have questions about international tax refund.
OMF Germany has also a giving page (in German language) where it is possible to donate online by credit card, PayPal, etc. If you want to use this option, please enter “Unterhalt Tenzler” in the “Persönliche Nachricht” (personal message) field to direct the gift to us. For more information on giving internationally, please refer to OMF’s international giving page and select a local OMF center.

How are our expenses broken down?
Our overall expenses consist of three parts:
![]() |
The majority of donations (about 85%) covers our individual costs. These include personal expenses such as living expenses, rent, and retirement savings, as well as all expenses related to our ministry, such as travel expenses, materials, and training. |
![]() |
A small portion (about 10%) goes toward participating in general OMF services, such as administration, member care, and public relations. We benefit greatly from these services. They are an important part of OMF’s work and ensure that missionaries can focus on their work for God’s kingdom. Who wants to spend a whole week figuring out how to fill out a Japanese tax form or extend a visa? |

We also contribute to the organization-wide compensation and emergency fund (about 5%). At OMF, we are a large community of missionaries and want to support each other and work together to prepare for difficult times. |
We firmly believe that God provides everything necessary for those He calls. As OMF founder Hudson Taylor put it, “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.” In our years as missionaries, we have experienced many miraculous moments of provision. We are infinitely grateful to God, and we rejoice over every individual and every church that God has laid it on their hearts to support us financially. Thank you very much!
