We invite marketplace servants with business expertise to partner with ministries for at least one year as MINISTRY SERVANTS. They serve as mentors and help to assess a ministry's capacity and implement capacity-building initiatives.

The title MINISTRY SERVANT reinforces the attitude of service that we consider key to a successful relationship and clarifies the fact that the ministry will retain primary decision making authority.

The Partnertship Relationship

Phase One: ASSESSMENT

The ministry leader and MINISTRY SERVANT will conduct a joint evaluation of the ministry to identify needs and priorities. Leaders will then develop a one-year strategic plan to increase the ministry's organizational capacity. In some cases, this plan will be developed in cooperation with the ministry's board chairperson.

Phase Two: MENTORING

Ministry leaders and staff will receive training and operational accountability, setting achievable goals and defining clear outcomes. MINISTRY SERVANTS will expand their understanding of critical community concerns, engage diverse cultures, and grow in their compassion for those in need.

Phase Three: IMPLEMENTATION

This relationship is expected to produce pools of resources and technical assistance. These will include help from the network of professional volunteers of both the MINISTRY SERVANT and Kingdom Oil as well as training opportunities offered by a variety of capacity building organizations.

No financial resources will be exchanged between the business partner and ministry leader. However, in some instances Kingdom Oil will provide seed money to launch capacity-building projects.
