Ministry to Full Funding Leading Your Team & Ministry to Full Funding

Overview Why Blindspots? Why did you write this book? Some difficulties gospel-workers face in funding relate directly to leadership, organizational history and policies Leaders sincerely attempt to lead well, but they have ‘blindspots’ in fundraising issues

Examples of leadership blindspots in funding: Funding is “their” problem Silence—not sure what to ask Failure to hold staff accountable is not merciful “Vague” accountability Not allowing time for fundraising and donor ministry Not raising more than your personal budget “Necessary evil” view of funding No 100% policies Not providing “timber” for your staff Thinking too small about donors

Who is Blindspots for. Anyone who leads even one mission worker Who is Blindspots for? Anyone who leads even one mission worker. From any culture. One-up supervisors in ministries Leaders of ministries and their leadership teams Pastors and leaders of churches Mission committees Entrepreneurs starting organizations Any non-profit leader Anyone who desires to see the gospel advance

How to use Blindspots Assign your staff to read Blindspots—discuss: As your supervisor how can I help you in fundraising? What guidelines can we as a team put in place to help all of us stay fully funded? How can we informally help one another in funding month by month? Assign individual staff to read specific chapters and discuss with you privately Review the appendix worksheets at scottmorton.net

Sample Blindspots excerpt—Moses Do you ever feel guilty asking for support? Do you wish you didn’t have to take so much time for fundraising? Exodus 25:1-9 The Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from everyone whose heart prompts them to give. These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze; blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather; acacia wood; olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.”
