In the final episode of the church partnerships miniseries, we explore building deeper, non-transactional relationships with churches. We discuss the roles of sending and caring in church support, emphasizing koinonia (biblical fellowship) that integrates financial, emotional, and spiritual partnership. Local churches offer proximity for volunteering and direct ministry involvement, while out-of-area churches provide unique opportunities like mission trips. The three levels of partnership— participate (financial support), engage (personal care), and own (active advocacy)—are outlined, with tips to deepen connections through storytelling, hospitality, and shared mission. [1:00-3:00] Role of Churches : Corrie outlines churches’ roles in sending (financial support) and caring (emotional/spiritual support) for missionaries, stressing that partnerships should extend beyond transactions to foster accountability and engagement. [3:00-08:00] Impactful Stories : Corrie shares how a disciple’s testimony deepened her church’s connection, while Andy recounts a coached missionary’s rapid funding due to a church’s prior investment in her family, highlighting long-term relational impact. [9:00-14:00] Local vs. Out-of-Area Churches : Local churches enable volunteering and direct ministry involvement due to proximity, but in sensitive areas (e.g., closed countries), partnerships avoid drawing attention to local churches to protect them. [15:00-20:00] Opportunities and Challenges : Out-of-area churches offer mission trip opportunities but face “out of sight, out of mind” challenges, requiring creative updates. Local churches risk volunteer burnout and may expect missionaries to serve locally. [35:00-39:00] Koinonia in Partnerships : Corrie explains koinonia as fellowship, partnership, and financial contribution, seen in New Testament examples, urging missionaries to view partnerships as shared missions, not just funding.

In Episode 55, we stress tailoring presentations to a church’s focus, and using the 5 Ws and H to share a ministry’s vision. Prepare well, secure slots early, and use stories and visuals. Keep financial asks clear, seeking larger support from home churches. Engage post-presentation with a table and follow-ups. Churches may give love offerings, regular gifts, or non-financial support like space. Gratitude and consistent updates foster lasting partnerships, emphasizing preparation and authentic relationships. [1:00-3:00] Tailoring Communication : Corrie stresses customizing presentations to a church’s schedule and mission focus, whether a brief pitch or longer talk, to resonate with the congregation and highlight the ministry’s alignment with their goals. [4:00-9:00] Vision vs. Financial Ask : The hosts distinguish between informing congregations about the ministry’s impact and making financial asks, emphasizing vision casting. Corrie suggests securing presentation slots via the pastor or missions committee, ideally a quarter in advance. [11:00-15:00] Visuals and Storytelling : The hosts highlight the power of visuals (e.g., Bible translation examples) and storytelling to engage audiences, noting that stories increase retention significantly and should be paired with context for impact. [23:00-30:00] 5 Ws and H Framework : Corrie explains using Who (people served/team), What (activities), When (timeline), Where (location), Why (purpose), and How (methods) to structure clear, compelling presentations, ensuring context before specific stories. [34:00-39:00] Post-Presentation Engagement : Corrie shares tips for lobby engagement, like setting up a table with ministry materials and signup sheets, using body language to manage conversations, and following up to build relationships.

Episode 54 emphasizes reframing fundraising as an invitation for churches to join God’s mission, rather than a transactional process. The discussion covers best practices for approaching churches, finding advocates, aligning with like-minded congregations, and maintaining a mindset of prayer and humble confidence. Practical strategies include starting with one’s home church, leveraging personal connections, and ensuring theological and missional alignment with potential partners. [01:00 - 05:00] Approaching Your Home Church & Timing Considerations The episode begins by discussing how to approach a home church for partnership. Corrie advises identifying the right contact, such as a missions committee or pastor, and avoiding impromptu pitches in casual settings like church hallways. Timing is critical—setting up a formal meeting allows for better engagement. Andy notes that church leaders juggle many responsibilities, so missionaries should not misinterpret a leader’s busyness as disinterest. Corrie adds that churches outside one’s home congregation may take time to commit, preferring to observe a missionary’s work before partnering. [05:00 - 10:00] Leveraging Personal Connections & Finding Advocates The conversation shifts to approaching churches beyond one’s home congregation by leveraging personal connections, such as friends, neighbors, or community members involved in other churches. Corrie suggests identifying individuals with a heart for missions who can act as advocates. Andy references Steve Shadrach’s advice to personally ask church leaders for support to build stronger relationships. The group discusses the value of seeking advice from influential church members, which can foster investment and open doors to broader church support. [10:00 - 16:00] The Role of Advocates and Managing Relationships This segment emphasizes the importance of advocates within churches. Effective advocates are passionate about the missionary’s ministry, well-connected, and proactive in facilitating events or introductions. Corrie shares her experience of relying on advocates to organize speaking engagements and events, reducing logistical burdens. The group discusses the need for clear communication and a formal “ask” for advocacy, similar to a support request, and suggests maintaining a core team or advocate manager to streamline communication with multiple churches. [16:00 - 22:00] Approaching Churches Without Connections & Building Long-Term Relationships The discussion addresses “cold approaches” to churches with no prior connections, which are less effective but sometimes necessary. Corrie recommends identifying smaller churches, which may be more receptive due to fewer missionary requests. She advises attending church events, delivering a brief elevator pitch, and requesting a formal meeting. Andy suggests that some denominations expect missionaries to visit multiple churches, a process called deputation. Corrie shares an example of a church that began supporting her financially after two years of consistent communication, highlighting the value of long-term relationship-building. [26:00 - 39:00] Ensuring Alignment & Practical Mindsets The final segment focuses on ensuring theological and missional alignment with churches to avoid mismatched partnerships.

Episode 53 explores biblical foundations for church partnerships in missionary fundraising. Examining Old and New Testament examples, they highlight how God provides through the collective—Israel and the church—supporting Levites, temple workers, and missionaries like Paul. The episode emphasizes mutual provision, spiritual formation, and the unity of the Body of Christ, encouraging missionaries to embrace church partnerships and churches to support sent workers for God’s glory. 0:05 - 5:00 | Old Testament: Levites and Collective Provision Heather introduces the episode, focusing on God’s provision through the collective. Corrie explains how the Levites, landless per God’s design, were supported by Israel’s tithes for their service at the Tent of Meeting, thriving and tithing themselves. Andy notes the mutual worship and provision, forming a triangular relationship benefiting both parties. 5:01 - 12:04 | Old Testament: Temple Workers and Modern Parallels Corrie discusses 2 Kings 12, where King Joash’s temple repair fund supported laborers (carpenters, masons) alongside priests, with funds used honestly. Heather and Andy draw parallels to modern pastors (priests) and missionaries (laborers), emphasizing how financial support frees both to focus on ministry without competing. 12:05 - 31:36 | New Testament: Church Support for Missionaries Corrie highlights the Philippian church’s repeated support for Paul (Philippians 4:15-20), framing gifts as a “fragrant offering” yielding spiritual fruit. Andy reads the passage, noting mutual provision and glory to God. Other examples include Corinth, Galatia, and Rome supporting Jerusalem’s famine-stricken church, showcasing cross-cultural generosity and Paul’s defense of gospel-driven support (1 Corinthians 9). 31:37 - 46:39 | Formation, Barriers, and Encouragement Andy and Corrie discuss how partnerships build faith and interdependence, countering control and fostering ownership. Barriers include time-intensive church processes and fears of rejection or heroic expectations. They encourage transparency, referencing Matthew 10:40-42, 3 John 5-8, and Luke 8:1-3, urging missionaries to invite churches into the harvest and churches to support sent workers for God’s glory.

In Episode 51, we ask Dr. Ekren Miller, a major gifts fundraiser, to explore the fundraising principles applicable to personal ministry support. Ekren shares his journey from raising small gifts for overseas work to securing large donations for a university, emphasizing relationship-building, confident asking, and donor stewardship. The episode unpacks four fundraising pillars— qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship —and offers practical tips for overcoming fear, crafting effective asks, and fostering lasting donor relationships, all while framing fundraising as a meaningful, spiritual act of inviting others into a shared mission. 0:00 - 6:00 | Introduction and Ekren’s Fundraising Journey Heather and Andy introduce the episode, focusing on applying major gift principles to personal fundraising.

He emphasizes sharing passion authentically to build relationships, drawing on Henry Nouwen’s idea of asking with dignity. Fundraising is spiritual, reflecting God’s design for giving, and requires confidence and professionalism, even for smaller asks. 23:01 - 48:00 | Fundraising Pillars: Qualification and Cultivation Ekren outlines four pillars: qualification (identifying donors with affinity), cultivation (building trust through genuine engagement), solicitation, and stewardship. He advises casting a wide net but moving on after three unresponsive touches, focusing on cultivating those with interest. 48:01 - 1:19:00 | Solicitation, Stewardship, and Perseverance For solicitation, Ekren stresses clear, specific asks (what, why, how much, how long) and letting donors respond first. Stewardship involves consistent gratitude (calls, notes, gifts) to maintain trust, avoiding transactional approaches. He encourages perseverance, discipline, and finding mentors or partners to stay accountable. He notes how generosity surprised him and affirms that funds are available with the right approach.

Fundraising can be exhausting—but what if it’s more than just a tough season? What if the way your brain works actually impacts how you navigate support raising? In this episode, we sit down with certified neurodiverse coach and veteran cross-cultural worker Jenilee Goodwin to talk about how conditions like ADHD, autism, and sensory processing differences shape the fundraising experience. From communication overload to executive function challenges to unexpected strengths, Jenilee helps us see how neurodivergent individuals can thrive in ministry—with the right support. Whether you’re neurodivergent yourself, support someone who is, or are shaping organizational policies, this conversation is packed with grace, insight, and practical ideas for a more inclusive approach to support-based ministry. 🔑 Key Takeaways We explore how ADHD, autism, and other brain-based differences can impact the entire fundraising process—from social cues to email overwhelm. We learn that burnout is common when individuals feel like they’re “failing,” but coaching and reframing can unlock their strengths. We’re reminded that fewer donors might actually be a better fit for neurodivergent workers—and it’s okay to do things differently. We challenge the archetype of a missionary and celebrate creative, customized paths to the field. We discover that good support starts with awareness, acceptance, and a willingness to jostle traditional models. 🔗 Resources Jenilee’s site: jenileerachel.com Global Trellis Neurodiversity Week (for orgs/team leaders) If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to subscribe , leave a review , and share it with your network .

“I was probably the wealthiest person in my family when I chose to go into ministry—then I had to go back and ask my family for money.” “If God did it in my life, He can do it in yours.” “If you’re not willing to be faithful, I can’t do much with you. But if you are—I got you.” In this powerful episode, Tony Dentman of Funding Tribe joins hosts Heather and Andy to reframe the soundtrack of “This is impossible.” Tony shares his journey from inner-city St. Louis to full-time ministry, despite having no wealthy or Christian background. He explains how his organization empowers minority leaders to get fully funded and mobilized for mission. The conversation dives deep into character formation, faith-building, and the systemic lie that fundraising success is tied to privilege. A must-listen for anyone who has ever doubted their calling or resources. 🎯 Key Takeaways Fundraising = Formation: It’s not just about hitting goals; it’s about who you become in the journey. Reframe Obstacles: Swap “This is impossible because…” for “How can I overcome this?,” and watch your confidence skyrocket. Built for the Underconnected: Funding Tribe’s system assumes you lack a Rolodex—and that’s exactly why it works. Diversity Is Your Strength: Minority and women leaders bring unique insights for reaching every nation. Faithfulness Over Finals: Success is measured by commitment to the process; character wins whether or not you hit your funding target. 🔗 Show Notes & Resources: fundingtribe.org If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to subscribe , leave a review , and share it with your network .

Interwoven with rich Scripture readings (notably from Second Corinthians and other Biblical passages), the discussion offers spiritual encouragement and practical insights on overcoming doubt, resisting the temptation to “fix” everything, and staying true to God’s word.

“We live at the mercy of our ideas.” – Dallas Willard In this foundational episode of our new series on mental soundtracks in fundraising, we’re joined by the wise and winsome Patty S. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in patterns of doubt, striving, or self-criticism around fundraising, this episode is for you. We unpack how our internal narratives—the soundtracks we replay in our heads—shape not only our fundraising strategies but also our identity and ministry posture. Drawing on personal experiences and years of walking alongside ministry workers, Patty helps us name unhealthy mindsets and invites us to replace them with truth, grace, and intentionality. This episode kicks off a multi-part journey toward reframing how we think about fundraising—moving from fear and scarcity to purpose and formation.
