Ask the Lord of the harvest,

therefore, to send out workers

into his harvest field.

| THE REALITY

Six things almost every worker runs into:

The vision shrinks to the size of the budget.

Most workers receive a vision from the Lord, but the funding decides how much of it they are able to obey.

Support is raised once and then quietly erodes.

Partnership is treated as a season to be completed rather than a relationship to be kept, so partners lapse without anyone noticing until the deposit falls short.

Support is raised once and then quietly erodes. Partnership is treated as a season to be completed rather than a relationship to be kept, so partners lapse without anyone noticing until the deposit falls short.

Workers are sent without being taught how to ask.

Most are commissioned with prayer and a title, but without a budget, a partner list, an appointment method, and a system to carry the partnership once it begins.

Money is handled informally, and trust thins.

Where gifts are received without receipts, statements, or records, neither the faithful worker nor the sending group can prove anything.

Asking feels like begging, so the ask never really happens.

A worker who believes he is taking from people will hint instead of invite, and will accept partial funding as though it were contentment.

The sending group cannot see the numbers until someone resigns.

Funding information lives in scattered notebooks and personal memory, so no one can say which workers are fully funded, which are at half, and which are close to leaving.

| WHY WE ARE HERE

Xenders exists to see God's workers funded by God's people and kept in the field for as long as the work lasts—through ministry partnership development.

Ministry Partnership Development is inviting God's people to invest in God's vision and mission for His Kingdom—with prayer, money, and advocacy. They invest through a worker the missions group has set apart, trained, and sent. And they are kept as partners for as long as the work lasts.

X E N D E R S

EQUIP

We train workers to raise partners— believers who will invest their prayer, their giving, and their influence in God's mission, through the missions group that sent the worker and through the worker they have come to trust. Every worker is coached, given real practice, and held to a standard, so that his first appointment is not his first attempt.

X E N D E R S

SUSTAIN

The back office of an ordered MPD system—automations, receipting, ministry updates, reporting, and accountability, so that every peso is received, recorded, and answered for. It keeps the partnership cared for long after the yes, which is what makes it last.

Apply as a

Denomination

For national church bodies and large sending organizations that carry many workers under one office and need MPD run as a department, not a project.

Apply as a

Mission Organization

For mid-size mission agencies, networks, and ministry organizations that send workers under their own name and need the same discipline at a smaller scale.

Apply as a

Worker

For the individual pastor, missionary, or church planter raising his own team — and for small groups of workers who come together from one church or from several.

Eating Our Own

by Mark Timothy Brion

Thirty Filipino pastors have spent between two and four decades building small churches and watching their people leave for larger ones. Forty of the fifty megachurch attendees I interviewed came from another congregation. Their reasons deserve a hearing.

| What Xenders Does

One place that carries a worker from an empty list to fully funded.

Foundation

Know exactly how much to raise, then build the list of people to invite, and how much to ask each one.

Communication

Their story, their support letter, their updates—clear, warm, on time, and easy to send from anywhere.

Relationships

Everyone God brings alongside, kept in one place: who they've asked, who's giving, who to thank, who to follow up with. No partner forgotten.

Accountability

Every gift receipted, every partner thanked, every peso accounted for, kept through clean records they can stand behind before God and people.

Training

Run the training in-house with our guidance, or let us train the workers directly.

| WhO IT'S FOR

Two ways in—the same method, sized to you.

organizations & denominations

Send every worker well.

Care for support raising across every worker from one place. See who's fully funded and who's stuck, come alongside the ones who need help, and keep them all moving toward the field.

Individual workers

Raise full support.

No large organization behind you? Get the same proven method and everything needed to raise full support—and keep it—without doing it alone.

Xenders keeps the sent ones funded, so the gospel keeps moving.
