We are launching a Coaching Cohort for 2018 and we invite you to consider being involved. The Barnabas Group is committed to “connecting marketplace leaders with ministry opportunities.”
We have a coaching opportunity that we need help with!
4 times this year: March 8th, May 3rd, September 6th and November 1st we will gather a group of local Non-Profit Leaders together and match them with a group of Barnabas Partners to create a Coaching Cohort. The goal of this time is to surround these leaders with TRAINING, RESOURCES, COACHING and COMMUNITY, and the end result is greater effectiveness in their leadership and in their organization. A community provides opportunities for relationship, for help, for collaboration. We are asking our Barnabas Coaches to bring with you not only your experience in leadership, but to be willing to share your lives as you engage in this coaching relationship. Our first Coaching Cohort has space for 12 Non-Profit Leaders and 12 Barnabas Partners that are committed to engage together through this year. Each session will include conversations around the HEART of leadership, QUALITIES of leadership, the ROLE of a leader and the LEGACY of a leader. •Barnabas Partners will be introduced to some incredible local non-profit organizations and you’ll be able to help them in their growth and sustainability. •If you know of a non-profit leader that might benefit from this Coaching Cohort, please introduce them to us.
The cost to engage in this Cohort is included in your Barnabas Membership!

STANDING STONE MINISTRY UPDATE! We are pleased to report that Standing Stone Ministry, a ministry dedicated to caring for pastors and their spouses, trained 31 new Field Shepherds during 2017 to bring our total number of shepherds to 55. All of our Field Shepherds are gifted leaders with decades of pastoral experience. We desire to care for pastors around the country at risk of leaving the ministry prematurely. The best statistics available reveal that 1,700 to 1,800 pastors are leaving the ministry every month – the top two reasons are ministry burnout and marital issues. Our shepherds know the pressure and challenges facing these men and women and offer a safe environment for them to vent and process their issues with individuals that have walked in their shoes. At this point in time we are actively caring for close to 800 pastors, 300 ministry wives, and two dozen international church leaders. Please lift this vitally important ministry up in prayer. Also, please help us connect with qualified men and women who have proven character and a passion to invest in other pastoral leaders. Call me directly at (949)701-7353. Remember, healthy pastors lead healthy churches and healthy churches build healthy communities!

Time is an interesting investment because you must invest 24 hours every day. You don’t have a choice. You can choose not to invest money but you can’t choose to not invest time. When you set goals you provide a framework for making better decisions with your time. Time spent on tasks to advance your goals will give you better results. If you don’t have a framework for making decisions you’ll get?? Exactly. Set goals and invest your time wisely.

NORTHRISE UNIVERSITY UPDATE! Northrise University continues to lead the way in private higher education in Zambia by being excellent at what is good. In a country where over 80% live in abject poverty, living on less than two dollars per day, Northrise University stands as a beacon of hope and transformation. Centered on Christ, Northrise is developing the next generation of leaders through academic excellence, spiritual formation, and economic empowerment. Currently, 314 Northrise alumni serve throughout Zambia in business, ministry, education, and government. In addition to degree programs in business, information technology, theology, and law, new programs are under development including nursing, engineering, agriculture and education. Set to launch in February 2018, the new Bachelor of Nursing program is built on a foundation of excellence in academic and clinical preparation. Schools of engineering, agriculture and education are planned to open in January 2020. Partnerships with U.S. universities continue to expand with four Northrise students currently attending Dordt College to complete degrees in agriculture and engineering. These students are preparing to eventually return to Zambia to join the faculty of Northrise. With the strong support and prayers of God’s people, Northrise continues to empower the people of Zambia, one student at a time. WAREHOUSE SPACE NEEDED – NORTH SAN DIEGO Marty and Lori Lauber, San Diego TBG Partners, are expanding a non-profit called Born Again Furnishings.

D. OUR “ELEVATOR SPEECH” (external)Brand Promise (slogan or tagline)
The MEND Project seeks to Educate, Equip, and Restore those impacted by Primary and Double Abuse.
What do you do? We provide clarity to victims by naming overt and covert abusive behaviors. Clarity is the first step to healing. We develop and teach curriculum to front line responders (church leaders, therapists, NGO and community leaders) so they are better able to identify abuse and respond to victims of abuse without causing further harm. We name further harm for what it is, Double Abuse. We teach about the high physical and emotional costs to victims, why it is imperative to follow the highest protocols to prevent Double Abuse.

E. THE FIVE DRUCKER QUESTIONS (internal) From: The Peter F. Drucker Foundation Self-Assessment Tool: The Five Most Important Questions Every Nonprofit Organization Must Ask (leadertoleader.org)
1. What is our mission?
To bring the Gospel to those who have never heard, fulfilling Jesus’ call to go everywhere.
2. Who is our customer?
• Our PRIMARY customer is: Those who are unengaged with the Gospel • Our SUPPORTING customers are: Gospel Patrons who invest in people
groups. 3. What does the (PRIMARY) customer value?
Knowing Jesus, then support for replication and discipleship.
4. What have been our results?
15 UUPGs engaged with 3000+ new followers of Christ in just over 3 years (5700 have professed Christ).
5. What is our plan?
To support those groups to replicate and to engage more groups at a rate of 5 new ones each year.
F. S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES • Bias for action in sharing the gospel • Proven process and results • Innovative approach to getting results in missions • Priority Living administrative support
• Single threaded leadership needing further scale. • Repeatable process for funnel closing of agreements on
partnerships is not tried and true.
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS • Come alongside existing teams looking for breakthroughs in
hard to reach people groups. • Evangelical Churches looking for opportunities where they
have no mission board or staff. • Create and strengthen partnerships • Find other senior leaders who can think like entrepreneurs to
help us reach more people groups.
• Security and Access to locations • Inability to scale discipleship model • Finding and sustaining Apostolic leadership in each people
group. • Funding channels may not materialize as planned. • Financial constraints could be a timing issue while scaling.

How it Works
Strategy in Brief NCF allows you to give interests in appreciated real estate (raw land, residential,and/or commercial real estate) to NCF prior to sale. This strategy avoids capital gains taxes on the gifted portion, and you will likely receive an income tax deduction for the appraised value of the gift, freeing up additional cash flow for more giving.
GIVINGFUND
Property or interests gifted prior to sale (give all or some)
You receive an income tax deduction
BUYER
Gifted portion sold tax free Sale proceeds to NCF
Recommend more grants from proceeds to your favorite charities
As a result of giving assets vs giving cash, nearly $300,000 MORE would go to your favorite ministries while increasing net cash flow by $158,541 for more giving or other options!
