Dear Partner in the work of the Lord:
Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord Jesus. I have
attached here for you the description and application form for this
year’s Mission to Reality – Grant Writing and Resource Development
Training. In the words of a pastor, “With all the challenges we face
in the work of the Lord, there’s never been a better time for Mission
to Reality training than now.”
Perhaps
your ministry, like many others, is confronted with the challenge of
securing enough resources to fulfill the mission the Lord has given
you. And you’d like to know the current fundraising techniques,
recruit quality Board of Directors and learn how to get them to be
active in raising resources for your ministry, attract and keep
volunteers that would keep you connected, plan strategically for the
future of your ministry, and learn about successful ministry models
that bring in money. If so, Mission to Reality (MTR) is for you. MTR
is a sound and well-rounded training with the knowledge you can apply
immediately.
The
training is designed to empower you to secure the future for your
ministry and restore hope in the community the Lord has called you to
serve. About one hundred and fifty groups that have completed this
training so far are growing in their operations and abilities to
secure resources and actively engage the issues of their communities.
I would
like to encourage your enrollment and participation. The training
commences with an orientation session on March 16, 2004 followed by
six evening seasons on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 6pm to 9:30pm
through April 22, 2004.
If you
have attended this training in the past I would ask that you pass on
the information to other churches and ministries in your network. Or
you may want others in your organization to attend so that they can
be better equipped to serve the Lord. Many churches and ministries
have had their entire staff trained and do send new staff members
every year to the training. The training is also available to
previous graduates as refresher training.
The
market rate for this training is between $750 and $1,000 per person
but we have greatly subsidized the cost through other means to make
it financially convenient for you. For you, the fee is only $210
for the entire training. There are ten 25% scholarships available
for current ACCD members attending the training.
The
application forms for the training and partial scholarship are at the
back of this booklet. Please enroll promptly.
May the
Lord be with you today.
In
Christ,
Jolly A. Beyioku
Rev. Jolly A. Beyioku, PhD.

implement, and manage fundraising and resource development plans.

WHAT
PREVIOUS GRADUATES ARE SAYING
z z z z
“MTR has equipped us tremendously
with tools needed to go out and empower our community. We were taught
Strategic planning, Finance and Budgeting, Proposal writing,
Volunteer evaluation and many more. We can now go out and network
with other ministries and prepare proposals for funding. We are very
grateful to Dr. Jolly for making our ministry what it is today.”
Carolyn Hall
Lighthouse Christian Fellowship
“I have found that it is very easy to
serve people, but it requires more extensive tools to empower people.
Much of this MTR information is being implemented in my home church,
in the organizing of a new service plan and the revamping of our 70
year old mission statement.”
Debra Larry
Testimonial Community Love Center
“MTR has provided great resources and
a beginning database of network ministries. I have now been given a
hands on approach of how to plan and strategize for a viable
future.”
Rev. Harrie Trotman
Exposition Park Church of the Nazarene
“MTR has helped me to be more
effective in my ministry. I have been given the tools to be able to
do a greater work. When I first heard of the training, I was very
intimidated. I thought that I was not going to be able to keep up,
and the other students were a lot smarter and better prepared than I
was. But I found out that we were all basically the same. We all had
a heart for God and His people. We have all been called to do his
work in different fields and ministries. Our common bound was not who
was smarter, but that we wanted to be the best we can for God. Thanks
a lot, I really appreciate being a part of MTR.”
Rev. Alex
Bernard
Teen Challenge
“Mission to Reality has been a true
blessing and an answer to prayer for me. I am sure that this course
will be yielding benefits and blessings far into the future. I would
like to think that having had such instruction and teaching during
seminary would have equipped me to be a better pastor. The reality is
that much of this course’s effectiveness is that it uses the raw
material of personal experience and passion that grows out of
recognized need to teach us how to move from Mission to Reality. I
thank God for Dr. Jolly Beyioku and his staff.”
Rev. Albert Starr
Jr.
Ascension Lutheran Church
“We have truly been blessed with a
wealth of information that, without a doubt, will be the catalyst to
bring the vision we have for our ministry into fruition this year.
The lessons we have learned will continue to be beneficial to us, the
friends we have made and bonded with, will certainly be lasting.
Praised the Lord for “Mission to Reality”
