One of the roles of a development director is to make sure that a ministry is communicating regularly and effectively to its donors and potential donors. The web has so many tools to help accomplish this task very inexpensively. With the rise of the social networking sites, we are working on developing an online community that will help support the churches in India. Since a mission field is 20 pastors and a facilitator, why not find key volunteers in the states that will rally 20 donors to come together to support a mission field? $950 per month would be divided among the group and they would be able to log onto a password-protected web page that would be exclusive to their group and focus on their specific area where their mission field is. The effect can be in several areas:
#1 Greater missions awareness
#2 Connecting the donors to their specific mission field
#3 Creating community with the donors
#4 Greater prayer focus for the pastors
#5 Greater accountability to support the mission field
#6 Creating a viral effect that will encourage members to create their own group
As you can see, the possibilities are enormous, and if we build this web site properly, it should bring in the bulk of our new sponsors for the next 10 or 15 years.
