Episode 7: The Most Effective Strategy For Building Your Team

The Sweet Life of Missionary Partnership from YWAM Kona

In this episode, we share hard data on the most effective ways to build a partnership team. You may be surprised! We tackle the most common problems with asking people to join us and discuss how to structure meetings with potential partners. Special guest trainer Terry Sherman of Relational Fundraising from YWAM Heidebeek shares how she escaped the trap of poverty, debt, and solely depending on the “manna” of random financial gifts. Terry tells how she learned how to enter the “promised land”. Now she travels all over the world training other missionaries to do the same. Special guest missionary JiHye Cho from South Korea shares the amazing story of how she overcame shame concerning fundraising to build a monthly team of 95 partners using innovative methods!
