Presenter Introduction Betty Barnett – YWAM

How to Form Lifelong Relationships with Your Support Team

How do we get personal in support raising? Know your audience — Varying ages/generational preferences Varying levels of desired connection with you Jesus’ model to us, uniquely personal

God’s Key to Support Raising (& Relationships) Generosity — Our heart for them, to be a blessing to them (not just “take and run!”) “Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account.” (Phil. 4:17, NIV) “…I want you to receive a reward for your kindness.” (NLT)

Generosity Expressed, Made Alive Our gifts to them Time Acknowledgements (of their support, birthdays, and other significant life junctures) Prayers for them Face-to-face time with them

Variety in Communication, Not Repetition Their preferences (Have we asked them?) Our schedule (What is realistic for us?) Most effective times of year? Out-of-the-ordinary communication (personalized Easter or Thanksgiving cards with our newsletter) Staying in their home, which can be a tremendous bonding experience (discernment is needed when/with whom it’s appropriate)

Support raising is a ministry… not simply an “add-on” Don’t Forget! Support raising is a ministry… not simply an “add-on”

In Short Lifelong relationships require lifelong commitment and nurturing, with personalized care — mutual commitment results with Kingdom benefits for all
