Missionary: Created Receipts

Effective Date:

November 2025

Focus Group:

Missionaries

Guidelines:

The best source of documentation for expenses is a physical receipt from the place of business. We understand that in some circumstances and areas of the world, it is not possible to receive an itemized receipt. In these instances, you will need to purchase a numbered receipt book (available for less than $5 on Amazon) and individually document all needed information related to the purchase (related to the 5 W’s noted above). Specifically, Date, Amount, and Purpose of the expense as it relates to your ministry must be included. Failure to include this information may result in the expense being denied for ministry reimbursement.
 
For purchases greater than $200, a valid receipt from the place of business is required.
