- Get Ready: Come to Boot Camp prepared, refreshed, prayed up and on time!
- Accountability
- You must have an accountability partner lined up before you come to the seminar. This person needs to be someone who will boldly and consistently hold you to your weekly fundraising goals until you reach 100%.
- Hint: Recruit the most black and white,
hard core, goal oriented person you can
find. You will never regret it!
- Textbook:
- About the Cost:
- Steve Shadrach, our main trainer, receives no compensation for his services. He has raised his full support.
- We charge to help you understand the importance and value of this training.
- When you raise the funds and/or invest yourself you are more likely to prepare for and apply the training.
- Similar training with other organizations can cost $750 or more.
- We want to produce materials, videos, and web sites that can help Christian workers around the world fully fund their visions.
- Sound harsh? The tone of these requirements and the agenda of the Boot Camp itself might seem rigid and harsh. The intent is not to be legalistic or fleshly, but to impress upon each participant the extreme importance of coming to the seminar fully prepared, staying focused during the long hours of training, and taking what they gain and really using it. We're not interested in just giving seminars. If we can't truly help you fully fund your vision, we don't want to waste your time or ours. To accomplish these objectives with just 24 hours of preparation and 18 hours of "in class training time" will require a work of God and lots of hard work from you.
