HERE’S THE BACKSTORY IN CASE YOU WANT TO KNOW
We are promoting a campaign to crowdsource the creation of a creative list of ways people can contribute their knowledge, skills, and abilities virtually to support churches, missionaries, and international ministries. Ideas include things like Prayer Support, Resource Development, Social Media Marketing, Translation Services, etc.
I believe there are people who would be interested in a fractional, remote, part-time, volunteer opportunity to support a Kingdom-focused ministry – people like…
- Young professionals who want project experience to build their résumés
- Experienced professionals who would like to contribute their knowledge, skills, and abilities for an eternal impact
- People with creativity or who recognize their spiritual gift and would like to explode the impact they can have beyond their local church
- Business people who would love to support a non-profit organization by contributing their professional skills or business capabilities
I also believe there’s an urgent need to help domestic and global ministries accelerate their progress and increase their impact through various types of virtual support beyond giving money. Contributing virtual support is an extraordinary gift, particularly for those who can’t go on a mission trip overseas for example.
Together, we will create a robust list of ways people can remotely serve and support pastors, churches, missionaries, ministries, and evangelists as the first step towards connecting people with those opportunities. So, if you’re someone who might be interested in contributing your time or talent virtually to a worthwhile cause, or would like to see the ideas list as it grows, there will be an opportunity for you to provide your name and email on the survey form, but it’s purely optional.
Thanks again!!
