A testimony about Support Raising (MPD) Coaching

If you need to raise support, do at least 2 things:

1) SEEK GREAT TRAINING -
​Support raising is much more than a financial transaction.
Inviting others to invest through both prayer and finances into a ministry vision requires the "support raiser" to engage fully in a process that is spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.   

An SRS Bootcamp is the world's foremost personal support training conference. Built on Scripture, it challenges kingdom workers to be spiritually healthy, vision driven, and fully-funded. Exago Ministries builds on that training, by providing great follow-up coaching that aligns with and helps apply the training to your actual support raising daily and weekly process. 

However, note that great training is different from great coaching: 
  • Though complementary in nature and practice, (CMM) Support Raising Solutions and Exago Ministries are distinctly separate Great Commission-focused organizations.​

2) SEEK GREAT COACHING - 
The extensive process of raising support is often called Ministry Partner Development (MPD). Many ministry leaders can become overwhelmed, confused, and or derailed in the process of becoming fully-funded. It's hard work, and many become disheartened which may lead to giving up too soon. 

However, Exago's great MPD Coaching is a true game changer!  We help you know what to do, and when to do it. ​We help ministry leaders build and maintain support raising momentum, focus, and personal organization in applying biblical and effective principles. Our coaching guide you towards being spiritually healthy while successfully building a real life prayer and financial support team. And not just any team, but a team of people who will likely continue to partner with you for many years to come, as you they passionately serve the Lord in full-time ministry.

Our highly specialized MPD coaching blends weekly interactions with simple reports, 1-1 calls, emails, texts, and video cohort times. Exago's MPD coaching is designed to meet the support raiser's personalized needs, answer specific questions, and to engage with the relevant challenges a ministry leader is likely to face during a season of focused support raising. Note: 
  • Exago requires the SRS Bootcamp as a prerequisite before engaging with our uniquely successful MPD coaching.​
  • Exago MPD Coaches have global cross cultural experience​.
  
10 Reasons Exago's Support Raising (MPD) Coaching WORKS!
  1. Spiritually Healthy and Vision Driven - The priority isn't money-- it's your relationship with God and the ministry dream He has put inside you. This directs all discussions and strategies.
  2. Stacked Learning - This coaching builds on the prep, scripture, and information learned via the SRS Bootcamp. When you fully complete that training, you are immediately ready to begin Exago MPD coaching.
  3. Improved Results - If you want strategic results, note that you are far more likely to become fully-funded when you're being coached by a support raising expert. Unfortunately, many people who don't use a qualified coach quit before reaching their support goals.
  4. Increased Speed - A coach helps you discover disciplines to focus your time, energy, and efforts in building your partnership team - typically far more quickly than what would happen if you were on your own.
  5. Experience -Exago Coaches have credibility as they have raised personal support teams and become fully-funded. 
         Important: If looking for MPD Coaching outside of Exago,  beware of any "support raising coach" who can talk the talk, but hasn't walked the walk.
              Seek credibility!
  6. Camaraderie - Our MPD coaches are readily available to answer your personal questions, and you will be blessed by engaging in a weekly online "Coaching Cohort," along with other ministry leaders who are on the same support raising journey as you. Iron sharpens iron!
  7. Plateaus Are Not Stop Signs - At some point, most support raisers find themselves losing momentum before reaching their goals. Your Exago coach aims to equip you in discovering hidden issues that may be undermining your efforts, and help you to regain the focus, momentum, and results you are prayerfully working towards.
  8. Accountability - Does your spouse, best friend, pastor, new supervisor/boss/etc., not understand the difficulties of support raising? Perhaps they wonder how you are spending all of your time? Exago helps you be organized, including a process that allows you to easily show how focused your time is being spent in faithfully building your partnership team.
  9. Exago Coaching is Affordable - Though it isn't "cheap," our professional coaching is very competitively priced, and additional coaching is available for a discount if you decide to extend your process further beyond the initial agreement. 
  10. True Availability - Talk, text, call, video, email….an Exago MPD Coach is committed to engage with you in your process. You aren't alone in this journey!
