Seminar Overview
This 18-hour seminar, along with your 24-40+ hours of preparation, will completely change your mind, heart, and perspective on support raising! This fast-paced, transformational, two-day training will include: lectures, interactive content, time for questions, small group discussion, and more! It is our prayer that Bootcamp will move you to tears, laughter, and reflection, but most importantly, to action.
Introduction
Here, we will encourage you to identify the fears, obstacles, and questions you have about support raising before we begin. We all have struggles and doubts in this area, but identifying them is the first step!
1. The Biblical Basis of Support Raising
We do an overview of Old and New Testament teaching that models the idea of asking others to invest in our God-given vision.
2. Gaining Perspective on Support Raising
How we view God, our ministry, ourselves, and our donors is essential in support-raising. We must have the right perspective!
3. Planning and Preparation for Support Raising
You must do a substantial amount of preparation and planning before you begin to raise support. You won’t walk away feeling unequipped!
4. The Phone Call, Appointment, and Follow Up
Here, you will role-play the call, the face-to-face ask, and the follow-up call. You then practice it all with other seminar participants.
5. Maintenance and Cultivation of Your Support Team
We cover the keys to helping you develop a healthy and vibrant support team that will stay with you as long as you minister.
Come with a teachable spirit, ready to learn and apply, and know that nothing is impossible with God. If you do your part, He will surely do His. The Lord wants you to be fully funded and report to your assignment even more than you do! Together, we can help you get to 100% of your budget!
