How much money is collected? How is it spent? Who profits and who loses? The financial world is divided into 1) funds acquirers 2) funds utilizers - Funds Acquirers: Organizations such as WorldVision, Catholic Charities claim to be secular charities often having 'who's who' in their boards. This helps them acquire funds. They have campaigns to raise funds during many disasters by running benefit shows, cricket matches and corporate events. They usually don't maintain ground force to serve the needy. They usually donate to organizations which are usually mission agencies. This way they are insulated from all the nefarious activities of various church groups and missionary workers. For example; during Indian Ocean Tsunami, WorldVision and International Cricket Council(ICC-cricket.org) organized a Tsunamic benefit match wherein the proceeds would go to WorldVision. The distribution of funds is at the discretion of WorldVision who donate only to christians.
- Funds Utilizers: These are the mission agencies and churches
with ground force.
