For partners and potential partners in this endeavor to transform grad students, faculty and the structures of American education, we understand that one means of effecting ministry and those called to steward the vision and work is through financial resources.
Congregations, as well as thoughtful donors, find it helpful to see the financial picture in concert with the more visible aspects of ministry elsewhere in this material: included here is both an operations budget overview (traditional line item perspective) and a narrative budget overview (a money-as-mission perspective). Finally, a strategic partnership plan gives a sense of how the financial means might be met–trusting in God’s abundance and the movement of God’s Spirit to fill this new work to overflowing in this aspect as well as with prayer, opportunity, and testimony.
We look forward to partnering with you and planting an exciting new work to transform lives, renew the campuses, and develop world-changers!
