That is our goal with our writing on our various blogs.<br /><br />Regarding .W, it is overly publicized. The best way to start to learn about the strategies that .W helps ministries role out is to visit two websites. Check out:<br />- www.ericfoley.com <br />- www.coachyourchampions.com<br /><br />I would love to hear your input as you check out those resources.<br /><br />In Him,<br /><br />JonJon and Mindy Hirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05285995024127376431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12134648.post-7705753328816932212009-09-01T03:57:33.395-06:002009-09-01T03:57:33.395-06:00Thanks, Jon and Mindy, for such an encouraging pos...Thanks, Jon and Mindy, for such an encouraging post in the GM blog.

It sounds like you have had good opportunities to engage your partners and to build deeper relationships.<br /><br />One of the things that is key to transformational giving is strategic and proactive discipleship. I will share more resources in the coming days that you can use to begin tracking your partner's discipleship process.<br /><br />One great place to start is Eric Foley's blog. He blogs regularly about Transformational Giving at www.ericfoley.com. <br /><br />Blessings in your ministry and look forward to continue connecting via this blog and Innovation in Mission.<br /><br />JonJon and Mindy Hirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05285995024127376431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12134648.post-83280582414773463152009-08-25T06:46:48.428-06:002009-08-25T06:46:48.428-06:00Tim,

I enjoy reading your innovation posts. Yo...Hi Jon,<br /><br />I enjoy reading your innovation posts. Your last FB message led me to this post, and I have to say, as someone who is going through support raising/deputation/support discovery/partner development (or whatever else people call it) headed to Japan as a missionary, I'm very curious about the concept of transformational giving. My wife and I do see our role as one of discipling our donors, and that is exciting for us. However, it hasn't seemed to change the overall process a whole lot for us. I would be interested in hearing a more fleshed out discussion about this perspective and the practical implications.Arthur Kraainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12134648.post-24698326693928519572009-08-24T09:48:00.264-06:002009-08-24T09:48:00.264-06:00Jon, we will greatly miss you at HCJB Global.

You have given me a better understanding that there shouldn't be an artificial separation between the donors and the doers. Thank you and may our Lord and Savior guide you.Tim Masonhttp://www.timothyrmason.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12134648.post-2156664350001969922009-08-24T07:12:46.637-06:002009-08-24T07:12:46.637-06:00Congrats, Jon and Mindy, on these exciting transit...Congrats, Jon and Mindy, on these exciting transitions in life and ministry!Steve K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06006066705570206659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12134648.post-89441543903479087372009-08-24T06:55:54.573-06:002009-08-24T06:55:54.573-06:00Congratulations, Jon and Mindy.

I'm excited to see that you are going to be a part of challenging the missional community to think and move in new directions!

Thank you for the well wishes. <br /><br />Regarding the paradigm shift, I would agree that a transformational outlook is something that Paul and the early church talked about and Jesus lived for us in perfection. The paradigm shift is a transformational perspective in a 21st Century world. There is nothing new under the sun right :) - Blessings!Jon and Mindy Hirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05285995024127376431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12134648.post-13418570629757324532009-08-24T06:15:19.350-06:002009-08-24T06:15:19.350-06:00I'm a friend indirectly, and likewise committe...I'm a friend indirectly, and likewise committed to transforming lives. Whether transformational giving is a new paradigm or new clothing for something whose nobility has been lost, I think it's great that you've found something to invest in for the father's glory and I hope it is a very fulfilling journey!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415029019699069356noreply@blogger.com
