Rick spent time in higher ed and business in HR/training before joining the staff of a multi-site church Faith Church in the suburbs of Chicago.
Highlights of our talk:
He came in with guns blazing (4:19)
Recruiting and found five but had no budget!
How it got funded: It’s critical to tell a compelling story (7:06)
The donors had seen the failures of other networks
Expect people to not understand (9:50) because we are behind.
Every church has people of means, position your message accordingly.
Find partners not just funders (11:55) this could be a host home and other things that are not necessarily financial.
