To create the most financially successful ministry ever led by man, the apostle Peter followed five development steps revealed in Acts 3-4 of the Bible. While the first cast Peter’s faithful vision for success, the second turned his faith into action.
Peter’s Principle No. 2: Perform miracles at a bargain.
Upon offering the crippled beggar the healing power of the name of Jesus Christ, the Bible says Peter took the man’s hand and “helped him up.” The combination of spiritual healing and physical support transformed the beggar who had been crippled since birth from dependency to self-sufficiency.
Peter had performed a miracle at a bargain. At no charge, his ministry produced a man who, after 40 years of living off others, could now work and contribute to self and society. This act created a value people could truly appreciate and would soon overwhelmingly support.
Ministries today must likewise provide both spiritual healing and physical support, to transform lives from dependency to self-sufficiency. To do so at a bargain, partnerships are required. While your ministry excels at spiritual healing, partners can help you satisfy the many physical needs of your “crippled” community. Partnerships also can strengthen your program’s funding appeal, as they indicate the broader community support for your work donors and grant makers value.
The website, www.fundingmyministry.com, hosts complete training on Peter's Principles for sufficiency funding, including tips on how to build and leverage partnerships for holistic service delivery and greater funding support.
Can you guess Peter’s Principle #3?
