Easy FundRaising Ideas: Step One To Business Or Ministry Success

 

This is a five part easy fundraising ideas special report sharing five steps to focus for success online by business and ministry marketing consultant Theresa Croft.

Market plan focus for success in ministry or business is an element that is easy to talk about and less easy to define.

What encompasses the word focus? Are there steps to improve your market plan focus so you can experience more success in your ministry, your business, even in your personal life?I’ve been hearing the word “focus” a lot lately as my husband lovingly teases me that I can get going in five different directions and instantly lose focus. One minute I could be helping with the dishes and the next, I end up on my computer answering a friend on Facebook.

Although the kids tend to laugh at me when I sometimes do funny things because my mind is elsewhere (such as put the milk in the pantry instead of the refrigerator), I know it’s no laughing matter in the end.

So I went on a serious journey to define focus and find sound keys to improve it in my life for ministry or business. From the word of God to great teachers in ministry and business, I found some keys that anyone could use to open the door to a greater potential of improving their focus in their life.

Focus Defined

The word focus is defined as “a central point, as of attraction, attention, or activity.” I’d like to hone in on the part of definition that involves concentration: to focus one’s thoughts.

The mind is an incredible gift from God. As it says in His Word, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”(Proverbs 23:7)

So the beginning key to having market plan focus has to start in the mind.

Well, I love acronyms, so I took the letters in focus and found five central thoughts to improve your market plan focus for success in ministry, business and life!

F-O-C-U-S - Step 1- Fix Your Eyes On The Destination

---

Step one for market plan focus is to simply fix your eyes (your mind) on the final destination.

Your destination in business might be to start a company, to get a raise, to find a way to earn extra money online, or to learn a new skill. You may want to pay off credit cards or pay off your house to be debt free.

What’s your desired destination in your ministry? It might be financial freedom so you can do what God has called you to without stressing over the provision for the vision. Your desired destination might be to see your family or marriage restored.

Fix your eyes on it! Define it. See it. Believe it. Right it down on paper!

Take this as fuel for your mind...In Hebrews Chapter 12, verse 2, we are encouraged:“...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Jesus knew his final destination was to die on a cross to fulfill His purpose to restore the fellowship of mankind to the Father. So amidst the attacks, the slander, and the pain, He pressed forward to be about His Father’s business.

Jesus knew his death on the cross and resurrection would result in eternal fellowship and redemption of His people to the Father. This ultimate result only made Him all the more intent to set His face like flint to go to Jerusalem. He was longing for the fellowship of His Father, and desiring YOU to be right there with Him.

That drive toward that destination was alive in Him like fire from the cradle right to the cross. Jesus is the ultimate example of someone having focus!

You’ll be amazed what you can endure when you make your destination you desire in your life a priority.

Buford Dentist Dr. Bill Williams: Mission To Kenya

- Kenya Mission 2010
by Dr. Bill Williams

A Buford Dentist, Dr. Bill Williams, from Suwanee Dental Care, set out on this mission as recorded by his blog entry here..

Is A Kenya Dental Mission In Your Future?

Can you imagine pulling 645 teeth in a week, especially if you are just a freshman in dental school?

Who would have thought that ten years after our initial landing in Kenya for our first dental mission to the legendary Masai tribe that we would be celebrating Kenya Medical Outreach’s 15th mission trip with a KMO alumni cookout at our home in Suwanee, GA and planning our 16th for the summer of 2011?

Why do we fly eight hours to London, nine hours to Nairobi and drive six hours over tarmac and dirt roads to reach the “Forgotten People” of Olmekenyu?

Why do 23 Americans from all walks of life save, sacrifice, do odd jobs, send out letters for support, fundraise, and do whatever it takes to gather the $4000 it takes to go on the mission trip, some year after year after year?

Why would a young Masai man escort his wife 40 kilometers across the border from Tanzania to the remote village of Morijo in Kenya arriving in the dead of night to see the mission team from America?

Why would 2000 people line up outside out hospital clinic in the heat of the African summer on the equator?

Why would our full time missionaries in Kenya wait with Leonard, our patient from Olmekenyu who had his nose eaten away by tuberculosis, for six days in a dank, dark Nairobi hospital while the boy was examined and the diagnosis confirmed?


Well, the questions could go on and on, but the bottom line is that we offer hope to the tens of thousands who live in the land of the Masai Mara and its surrounding environs. We came to a long forgotten area of Kenya over a decade ago and we never left. Many years have passed; many have traveled to this exotic land with us. Typically, one third of our 20-25 Kenya Medical Outreach mission teams are alumni now, one third are our friends from our area (Atlanta, Georgia) who have never been on our mission, and one third are, amazingly, strangers who found out about our trips from either the Suwaneedental.com or Kenyamo.com web site. They take a leap of faith and sign up with us sight unseen. Our team members have come from California, Florida, Missouri, Boston, Dallas, Mississippi, the Carolinas, Tennessee and beyond.


The makeup of our team is typically this: one dentist (DMD or DDS), maybe two, a few pre-dental students, some high school students, several teachers or housewives, a physician (MD or DO), three nurses (RN or LPN), perhaps a dental hygienist (RDH) and either a nurse practitioner (NP) or a psychian’s assistant (PA). Pastors, businessmen and pharmacists may round out the group in any particular year.

What is a typical day like on the mission field? In Olmekenkyu, we built three bunkhouses and have a kitchen / dining hall for serving our team breakfast. The number of patients for dental and medical services builds as the morning dawns and by 8:00 a.m. fifty are in line.

We finish our toast, boiled or fried eggs, Kenya tea and by nine o’clock when we begin seeing patients, there are three hundred in the line. We divide into medical, dental, optometry, worming stations. Some of our team hike up the hill to the Olmekenyu Primary School to work with the students, teach, lead Bible Study, or meet with the school administrators about projects we support like water tanks, glass window installations for classrooms or concreting floors.


The Buford dental team is six or seven team members strong. We work with a local dentist, Dr. Daniel from Narok, as our coverage on the mission and we have an ample number of surgical instruments donated by Dr. Arun Nayyar and others to perform extractions, although we have my portable Asceptico dental unit for fillings and scaling. Our system is this: we numb ten patients, extract, numb ten patients, extract, numb ten patients, extract. We go for hours like that, doing mostly simple extractions, sometimes surgical extractions and an occasional filling or ultrasonic scaling. Tea time is honored as our team takes a break at 11:00 a.m. and then lunch at one or two in the afternoon. Our team usually has a designated camp cook and the food is generally outstanding, even when local produce and meats such as chicken, lamb and goat are in the offering.

The experience for non­­-dental folks in the dentistry department is memorable. Getting up-close and personal with the how-to and techniques of exodontia is a certainty. Pulling a tooth is common for lay folks on our mission trips. Dental students become fully capable and competent to handle almost any extraction after being on one of our mission teams. The experience is worth a fortune to any dental student ready to graduate into the real world of private practice; just ask Matt Milner from the Medical University of Mississippi School of Dentistry, Hubert Park from Tufts University School of Dentistry or Caroline Norment from the Medical University of South Carolina School of Dentistry.

The opportunity to give back to others who have no ability to receive but by the grace of God those dental services we offer is why we do what we do. In the areas we go to, there is no dentist, no physician to see them; there are no instruments, no supplies, no anesthetics, no clinics where people can seek help for even a simple tooth ache. They are left with primitive options by untrained nurses who have inadequate tools for the job. Where we go, we try to train the nurses and give them a set of proper instruments for tooth removal. We show them the techniques for gaining adequate dental anesthesia so that their extractions are painless.

It’s the least we can do because we’ll be gone in a few days….until next year.

In Kenya, at the equator, the sun sets at six o’clock, so we try to be completed by then each day. More than once we’ve worked by flashlight in the dark. Each day we may see over 100 dental patients and 200 medical patients in our clinics. Its rewarding as well as tiring. The dinner hour is a time of reflection on the day and talking about what transpired in our individual clinics. Man, the stories we hear - the tales that are told! There is never a dull moment on mission in Africa.

My Online Journey To Make Extra Money

I have spent some years looking to find ways to earn extra money for my family as a stay at home mom. I have tried, and I have failed at a good many.

But, I believe you must learn from your failures! But I refuse to let fear keep me from trying again. "You cannot please God by playing it safe". -Jentezen Franklin

I think Mathew 25 with the parable of the talents contains a valuable lesson about what fear can do by paralyzing you and making you bury your talent.

Failure can educate you. Failure can help you discover your true talents and gifts. Failure can make you humble and less judgmental.

With that being said, , I am extremely excited to be working for an international company that helps non-profits and ministries raise money while giving its affiliates real ways to earn extra money online!

The founders of OurGV Inc. represent a combined 30+ years of building successful businesses from the ground up. Frustrated with the lack of integrity, and seeming unwillingness of companies to take care of their most important asset, their people, a decision was made to start a new company. One that would be dedicated to having a positive impact on the world we all live in.

Taking every last ounce of their knowledge and expertise, the long process of research and development began. After several years of painstaking research & testing, OurGV was born.

OurGV stands for Our Global Vision, and that's exactly what the founders have.
