Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $65,000 spent. CounselingUsually consulting exposes the nead to devote a significant amount of time to counseling individual leaders, addresssing their marriages work rrelationships, and wounds that are bringing disharmony to the leadership team. This generates a small amount of income from appreciative churches and organizations that is immediately invested back into the gernal fund of our ministry
  2. $53,000 spent. ConsultingOnline through zoom and on-site personal training of leaders and teams, teaching the principles of a high trust culture, and reconciling relationships in a international ministry, a national ministry to pastors, a college in Oregon, a Christian Conference Center in Oregon, and churches in Texas, Arizona, Oregon, and California. This required many cross-country trips, hotel and meal expenses. This involved over 100 hours of mentoring through Zoom. If and when these resources generate income, it is immediately invested back into the general fund of our ministry.
