Why host a
MYSUPPORTRAISING (MSR) BOOTCAMP
1. It Is More Effective
If you host a MySupportRaising Bootcamp, it brings live, in-person training directly to your team. That means greater focus, stronger interaction, real-time practice, and better accountability in the training process than strictly online options.
2. It Is Deeply Biblical
Perhaps the most biblically grounded support-raising training available globally, MySupportRaising is built on partnership, stewardship, calling, and dependence on God’s provision. It is practical, field-tested, and strengthened by ongoing doctoral research focused on the theology and practice of support raising.
3. It Is Led by Experienced Trainers
Our trainers live off support and have served across countries, cultures, and ministry settings. They understand that biblical truths are unchanging, while partnership development applications are not one-size-fits-all. Meanwhile, our founder is widely regarded as a global subject-matter expert in ministry partner development.
4. It Costs Less Than Sending Your Staff Elsewhere
After adding airfare, lodging, ground transportation, meals, and registration, the cost to send just one team member away for training can easily approach $2,000 per person. By contrast, hosting an MSR Bootcamp keeps more of your investment dollars focused on the actual training experience and on equipping your team, often making it a stronger stewardship choice for the organization.
It can also serve as a crescendo moment of focus for your team by gathering them in the same space around the same topic. That says something about the culture and values of your team. Pending host agreement and available space, it may also create an opportunity to serve additional Great Commission workers who would benefit from attending.
“Rather than spending significant funds on travel and hotel accommodations for multiple team members, we have found it far better to host a MySupportRaising Bootcamp
for our team. It’s very effective, even for a small group. We have also found MySupportRaising’s other resources to be game changers for our team and ministry vision.”

Post Bootcamp Options: Coaching and Consulting
The MSR Bootcamp stands well on its own, but MSR can also serve strategically beyond the event through two other but distinct opportunities available at an added cost for those who want to increase momentum and likelihood of success.
1. MSR Coaching lasts for twelve or more weeks and helps individuals apply the training with sustained input while learning they rhythms of tasks necessary for success.
2. MSR Organizational Consulting helps core leaders of ministries think more strategically about long-term effectiveness in areas of culture and policy, which serves as a force multiplier for teams to thrive fully-funded.
