Dear Ministry Leaders:
How does more training, more consulting and more grant opportunities sound to you?
Servant Foundation is excited to announce a strategic relationship with Mission Increase Foundation.
Who is Mission Increase Foundation?
Mission Increase Foundation seeks to transform communities by leveraging the power of training, granting and relationships. Since 1999, Mission Increase has focused on transforming and growing ministries through biblically based training, direct consulting and training-enabled strategic seed grants.
Why is Servant working together with Mission Increase?
We believe that training and consulting to be one of the most helpful services we provide to ministries, but, we want to be even more intentional in this area. We believe the Mission Increase model, built on the principles of Transformational Giving, is the best way for Servant to deliver quality training, consistent consulting, practical materials and resources, as well as create collaborative peer to peer learning environments for ministry leaders.
What does this new relationship mean to me?
As a ministry leader we hope that you will experience a noticeable impact from the relationship – for the good!
Mission Increase Foundation shares our vision for leveraging God’s resources. We believe the training/consulting component is the most valuable piece of this relationship. Beginning in 2011, Servant will be offering semi-monthly workshops and monthly consulting appointments for ministries interested in the Mission Increase program. These workshops and consulting sessions are available at no charge to the ministry!
Additionally, Servant anticipates having grant opportunities, based on the Mission Increase model, available beginning the 4th quarter of 2011. Mission Increase Foundation’s grant model provides strategic seed grants that, when leveraged with training, spur new growth in the organization. Historically, organizations receiving Mission Increase modeled grants, dramatically increase their annual incomes within a few years.
Launch event
We will launch our Mission Increase program with an all-day seminar – Transformational Giving on Thursday, February 3, 2011.
We believe that a giving model based on a transformational giving philosophy has the power to transform both the giver and the recipient. Transformational giving offers more than the typical transactional donation; it provides a powerful tool to enable great giving that transforms the giver's heart. Transformational giving also transforms the hearts of the receiving ministry when they understand the Biblical call to serve and disciple those who give, not just ask them to give.

While most of the workshops and consulting will be offered at no cost to the ministry, there is a nominal charge for the all-day seminar to cover venue/food costs.
