What is a Development Plan?

  • As I have written to you in past months, I often refer to our “Development Plan.” I have our development plan taped on my wall in front of my desk. The development plan is the outline of all of the planned activities for the next 18 months to help grow Serve India Ministries to fund our work in Asia. We hope to grow from 450 pastor-missionaries that we partner with to 800 by the end of the year so it will take many new donors to accomplish this goal. Our development plan consists of items such as:


    Key Initiatives:
  • milestones, goals
  • Home school conference booths
  • Mission conference booths
  • speaking engagements at churches and home
    meetings
  • special mailings, newspaper articles
  • video projects, web projects,
    brochures, radio interviews, annual reports
  • online giving projects, volunteer
    recruitment goals, sponsorship goals
  • database growth, organizational goals and
    social networking to name a few

    The bottom line for all of this activity is that it must enable Serve India Ministries to complete its mission of partnering with 20,000 pastor-missionaries, which in turn will fulfill the vision to plant 100,000 churches. Our “Vision” is our compass, letting us know where we are going, and our “Mission” is our road map telling us how we are going to get there.
