Start the New Year Right - with MIF! |
Jan 7, 2010 |
As your 2009 is now over, I trust that you're looking back to the many ways that God blessed your ministry, and that you’re looking ahead with great anticipation as a new year of Kingdom-building awaits. God is good!
For me, the end of the year (yes, I know it's January 7th already!) seems like the perfect time to give you an update on all the wonderful things that God is graciously doing through Mission Increase Foundation (MIF) Arizona. A few quick highlights…
- In 2009, there were 500+ attendees for our FREE monthly workshops, labs, seminars and roundtable discussions.
- In 2009, MIF awarded 10 grants to AZ ministries totaling $167,500.
- In 2009, MIF helped AZ grantees raise over $350,000 (above and beyond grant funds) for the purpose of growing their ministries.
And that's not all.
Countless ministries received FREE coaching and consulting; ministry leaders connected for the purpose of networking; an all-day seminar on the topic of Transformational Giving was held at the Desert Willow Conference Center with over 130 in attendance; and MIF’s first-ever on-line training webinar was held earlier this month – all in 2009! As I mentioned earlier, God is good!
Always know, we’re here for you! MIF AZ is called to come alongside Christ-centered ministries through teaching, training, consulting and granting to help you realize your God-given potential in meeting needs and reaching people for Christ.
Plan now to join us in 2010!
Also, even if you’ve been away from MIF for a while, the new year is the perfect time to come back. Starting in January, ALL ministries will be eligible to attend training, with or without a completed profile. (Of course, we hope you’ll take the time to update your profile; we’re offering in-depth consulting in 2010 to those ministries that are serious about transforming their ministry.)
Now is truly a great time to make a fresh commitment to spend one half-day per month learning about Biblical development! I believe with all my heart that God will honor and bless your commitment in wonderful ways!
And please understand... although I'm writing to you from sunny MIF Arizona, the above is happening in all of our locations across the country! Check everything out at www.MissionIncrease.org. I need to say it again - God is good!
Blessings on your 2010 and we hope to see you real soon!
