A free toolkit for ministry leaders

The Ministry Startup Toolkit

For readers of Changing Clients, Shifting Focus, plus the bonus content the book promised and the What's in the House devotional.

The clients changed. That is not your imagination and it is not a failure of your program. What worked fifteen years ago does not work now, and you noticed before most people did.

Everything the book promised is here. Leave your email and it comes straight to you.

What's inside

  • The Rescue, Rebuild, Restore framework laid out in order, one page per stage
  • The five questions to answer before you launch anything
  • Three fillable planning templates for your team
  • The three things that quietly stall a new program in year one
  • The bonus videos from the book, in a short course you can watch at your own pace: the Board member's guide to trauma in a residential setting, the tactical prayer strategies, and the five client success killers

Free, and it stays free. You will also get What's in the House, seven short readings on what God has already put in your hands. That one is for you, not for your program. After that I send a note about once a month. Not often, and never long.

If you want the full workbook, the one your staff can write in, that is the one paid thing I will point you at: becharitywise.com/ccsf.

If the weight you are carrying is your own, the other half of my books was written for you. Start with Fear to Faith or Done with This Cycle.

At least a tithe of the author royalties from my books goes to Foundation House Ministries, the maternity home I founded and lead. You can see the work at foundationhouseministries.org.
