Field Worker Support

Field Workers are so enthusiastic about the mission and vision of Thinking Matters that they have volunteered to work for Thinking Matters and raise their own support for living like many missionaries choose. They are our missionaries on the New Zealand mission field, and are thus given the title “Field Workers.” Thinking Matters is so happy that we can help facilitate your support to these field workers, and by donating to these field workers through Thinking Matters, your donation retains in tax exempt and tax refund status. Receipts will be issued annually in Mid-April for all donations made to Thinking Matters and field workers throughout the previous financial year.

TODD FUNK

Christian Schools Director

Unique, inspiring, helpful…awesome, have been words used by many in describing Todd’s presentations. Because Todd has somewhat of an eclectic mix of gifts, interests and experience, his delivery is quite unique…especially in the “apologetics world”. He has a science background (BS. Biological Science University of California Irvine) and a love for knowledge and truth. Ten years as a public high school science teacher coupled with his years of experience doing youth camps, preaching and even weekly Bible-in-School programs has forged Todd into sought after communicator who knows how to engage diverse audiences.
