Effective Support Raising
A 2003 study conducted with 592 mission agencies representing more than 38,700 missionaries reveals that the single greatest reason most missionaries don’t remain on the field is because they aren’t able to sustain their support.
This Thrive Together group provides a safe and supportive environment to have meaningful conversations about raising funds and developing strong relationships with sending churches and agencies.
The group will help you to develop a plan to raise the funding needed, and also offer the encouragement and accountability you need to implement your plan. If a lack of funding is your biggest challenge while serving overseas, this Thrive Together group is here to help.
“The lack of financial support we receive each month is the main reason we are unable to stay on the mission field.”
| Package: | 6 x 90-minute sessions with a group of 4-8 plus a skilled coach to help you develop a strategy to raise the funding you and your ministry need, and support and keep you accountable as you work through the process of support-raising alongside others on the same journey.
