Help Janey Join our Ministry Team!



Help Janey Join our Ministry Team!

Thank you for your love and friendship.  Thank you also for reading our letter.    We are excited to tell you about the past and future growth of Serve India Ministries and how you can help us grow much faster to reach 1000s of unreached villages in India.    

 

Currently we are serving more than 2000 pastors who are being trained in 52 locations in India.  These pastors are reaching out to over 5000 unreached villages with the Gospel.  

Our Ministry History

Janey and I have served together in ministry since 1989.   We began as youth ministers in Harrison AR where we went on7 mission trips in 6 years and then we joined Gospel for Asia in 1997.  At Gospel for Asia Janey served very effectively as the Gift Entry Coordinator and brought a great work ethic and much joy to the department.  When Benjamin was born she was able to care for him at home.  When we joined Serve India in 2009 she began working at Costco in order to provide the extra income we needed along with health insurance.  Now we plan on moving back to Arkansas to be near our parents. 


The Past Four Years

Going to Mexico with our Youth Group Via YWAM Elm Springs AR

One of the main reasons that I have been able to serve these past four years with Serve India Ministries is because my wife Jane has worked at Costco to provide us health insurance and supplement our income.  I remember when we served at Gospel for Asia, Janey worked in the Gift Entry department and was a major asset to the department because of her work ethic and the joy she brought with her every day.

 

What is the biggest Roadblocks? (Lack of USA Staff!)

 

One of the greatest hindrances for Serve India Ministries is the lack of staff to help with the US operations.  When we work to try to recruit someone who is able to help us, I realize that my wife is one of the most talented admin professionals I know!   Janey and I have been involved in India missions since 1997 and we want to see this nation won to Christ to his glory.  We also want to bring as many of our friends along that journey with us.  When our family traveled to India in February of last year, we were able to meet many of the pastors that we serve as well as their leaders who train and equip them.  God has given Serve India some very courageous pastors as well as the best of leaders of any India ministry. 


Janey’s Ministry Responsibilities as a Development Specialist Will Be:

      

 
  • Assist Development Department to execute Serve India’s development plan.

  • Serve ministry donors with written as well as verbal messaging. 

  • Help Serve India with donor development, recruitment, and retention through the website, social media, electronic newsletters and print media.

  • Support major donor program.

  • Researching and analyzing major gifts prospects, foundation grants and coordinating India vision tours.

  • Helping to schedule church meetings, and any related tasks.

  • Provide administrative support for donation acknowledgment and thank you.

  • Design and implement donor appreciation and cultivation events and activities.

  • Serve new donors to grow in their involvement with Serve India Ministries.

With only “36” more partners we can reach this important goal 

In order for Janey to join our team, we will have three primary objectives:

#1 Decrease our monthly expenses

#2 Purchase health insurance

#3 Raise $2000 per month of additional support

To accomplish the task of raising additional support we are able to do it with around 36 donors who are giving at these various levels:


·         1 donor at                   $200                                                   

·         10 donors at                $100                                                   

·         10 donors at               $50                                                     

·         15 donors at               $20                                       

Total           36 Partner

Would you consider increasing or beginning your partnership at one of these levels?

Thank you for reading our letter, I pray that God gives you grace and wisdom for each ministry support request you receive.  We understand that there are many worthy causes to support, we are excited to see how God works in our ministry and how he provides.  “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Php 4:19 “
