The Joshua Project explores unreached peoples who lack enough followers of Christ and resources to evangelize their own people.

Their website, app, and podcast keeps you up-to-date on places hard to reach and fulfill the great commission.

Don't you love when you see someone (not your client) do GREAT work?

I was talking about ministries telling their stories on today's podcast and I kept coming back to a ministry I had just discovered... The Bucket Ministry.

Not only are they doing AMAZING ministry but they tell the story of their ministry so well. So GREAT job... hat's off.

Many small to mid-sized Christian Non-Profits have so much to learn when it comes to connecting their God-sized missions with people/donor's passions.

These guys got it right. The Bucket Ministry

The pulpit isn't the only place to preach.

As we all spend more and more time online, churches are well behind the curve to train, teach, preach, and encourage online.

I am not sure of the balance between healthy in person and virtual disciple making... especially between various sized and resourced churches.

But I am sure of one thing... A "give button" in the top navigation is NOT the tool to promote generosity online.

"What are you doing for others?" - Martin Luther K

"What are you doing for others?" - Martin Luther King, Jr.

On a day Americans celebrate the civil rights leader, MLK, remember his call to challenge people to live a sacrificial life.

Those of us who live in organizations that constantly serve sometimes forget that those in our pews or donor databases don't "Live a life of full time ministry." They should be challenged to give of themselves.... time, prayer, resources, etc.

Tell your Ministry stories in a way that INVITES people to join and/or lets them feel it is THEIR ministry.

Christian organizations are often self sabotaging.

Christian organizations are often self sabotaging.

Small to Mid-Sized Christian non profits have a big problem. Many are stuck in the catch 22 of: We can't afford help. We are stuck and can't grow therefore we can't afford someone who can help us change that. We will just creep along and HOPE that changes.

But there are so many great Christian Vendors capable to partner with organizations and help them over hurdles and to achieve goals... and many Christian Leaders and Pastors stiff arm and justify (in their minds) why.

I have heard and truth be told, have made so many of the same excuses. But today, we look at the reasons Christian Non Profits may or may not want to hire and partner with various digital vendors who want to help with their ministry reach.

Don't go silent in January.

Many organizations are quiet at the first of the year, thinking their database has donor fatigue. DON'T!

Ride the wave and watch tour 2022 go next level. Keep telling your story. Telling your needs. Reminding your donors of the wonderful things happening.

Want to Fund Your God-Sized Mission? Stop trusting

Want to Fund Your God-Sized Mission? Stop trusting your playbook!!!

Executive Directors and Pastors overseeing their Web Ministries make a lot of assumptions about their online potential.

Broken Playbook Examples: ⬇️

🚫 - Social Media posts don't get more donors/givers.
🔝 - Social Media Funnels brings in new names.

🚫 - Boring Donation/Giving Pages don't work
🔝 - High Converting Donation Pages have structure

🚫 - Best Practices your Webmaster learned won't work
🔝 - Finding and running your organization's online ministry is essential to gaining more and consistent online gifts.

So, remember...

Christian Organizations run on tight budgets and every dollar and resource matters.

Help your team know how to focus on the plays that matter. Learn how successful Christian organizations gain and keep more online donors fund their God-Sized missions.

If the non-profit you gave to in 2021 didn't "Thank You," let me.

Your gifts to the organizations God is using as His Hands and Feet can't do it without YOU.

Thank you for investing into Kingdom Work.

Good Habits Compound Over Time. Keep up the consistent digital ministry at your organization. Online Ministry and donor relationships are worthy of the efforts.

If you’re a pastor of any sized church, my guess

If you’re a pastor of any sized church, my guess is your church went “online” with your service and maybe even more virtual ministry, but your church is still filled with non-givers sitting in your pews and watching online.

See what easy steps your church can take to break this cycle.

What is ONE GOOD IDEA worth? When you read a book

What is ONE GOOD IDEA worth?

When you read a book, take a Masterclass, attend a conference... how many benefits do you need to justify the effort?

What if your take-a-way changes everything for you as an individual or for your organization?

Non profit leaders are busy wearing a lot of extra hats. Sometimes, getting too busy to invest in themselves. Here are a few tips I learned from some smart people who went before me.

👉 - Read to understand. Read to relax.
👉 - Take some off-weekends and mental-vacations. Study during work time.
👉 - Encourage staff to learn. Model life-long-learning.
👉 - Take a "course" WITH your staff.
👉 - Take notes. Download ideas you've learned with others.

What is a good idea that brings in new donors? New business? Increased opportunities? Organization efficiencies? Cost savings?

A LOT!

Leaders of Christian Nonprofits wear plenty of hat

Leaders of Christian Nonprofits wear plenty of hats... I don't think many people expect them to be masters of all of them. When it comes to Digital Strategies and online fundraising, Executive Directors, founders, and CEOs sometimes punt the responsibilities to the "technical staff" or vendors. Or they govern progress to campaigns, ideas, or anything leadership can "understand and manage."

The Non Technical Christian Leader or Pastor is my target client. I help them learn to manage what is important, stop activity that is not, and teach them how to read the dashboard of digital efforts.

Join in to today's discussion built especially for Christian leaders who don't feel "technical" and would rather focus their time to their strength.

Churches don't know the first things about "Online Generosity."

Even after covid, where 99% of all churches dove head first into "Online Ministry," most churches still have a simple "give" button somewhere in their navigation and a plain giving page.

And yet, pastors frequently voice they are frustrated with a large part of their flock who "don't give."

I know why...

Coming from a "tech guy," this may sound strange.

Coming from a "tech guy," this may sound strange.

I've walked into plenty of non profit ministries who got side tracked chasing technology and fads and let "online" drift from their mission.

There are PLENTY of cool and shiny toys, software, widgets, webpages, apps, technology out there.. and maybe your employees or vendors talked you into chasing after a few.

My advice... if it isn't in direct alignment with mission, collecting new names, or increasing generosity of your house file... punt the project.

"Our donors will think this is cool" and "Look what this other ministry does online" are not good selling points.

Stay on mission and stay balanced.

Let the December DRIP begin.

Giving Tuesday is over... so start telling your house file why their passions to help others will be realized through your organization's mission.

🎚 - A New Masterclass Project: Churches don't know the first things about online generosity.

I am finishing up a labor of love project. Stay tuned for the details, but the premise of the course is:

💡 - Churches spend more effort to pass the plate than they do building out their online giving moment page(s).

Giving is a moment of worship and should give great JOY and literally 90% of churches use the most basic mundane giving pages and software and make the giving moment transactional.

I want to teach pastors and churches so much more about the online world they are trying to enter.

Online Ministry is so much more than streaming the service and upgrading camera and sound equipment and hip social media posts.

I have spend two and a half decades learning about online giving and purchasing. In various languages and cultures. I have been recording what I believe to be an essential online course for every church in America.

🙏 - If you know me, would you pray for me as I wrap up this project?

I am having some friends/peers/theologians audit the class and make sure everything is PERFECT before I release. I can't wait to release it to the church world. They desperately need it.
