Assistance

Quick assistance

A short phone call is free! Contact us at info@CatalystServices.org and set up an appointment to talk to Catalyst’s director, Ellen Livingood. In just a few minutes we may be able to point you toward some very practical ideas or resources that will get you moving toward better missions engagement.

More extensive consultation

You may decide that you want more extended one-time or ongoing assistance by phone or Zoom. Catalyst can help, or we can connect you to a missions leader with experience in your specific area of interest.

On-site help for churches

There are points in every church’s missions ministry where they would benefit from the guidance of an outside coach or trainer. Catalyst can provide that type of help or connect you to a competent person in your geographic area.
Here are some of the issues where a veteran mission leader’s experience could be highly valuable for your church:

1. Establishing or reviewing your global missions strategy
2. Considering a focused global initiative or focus
3. Developing a realistic missionary-sending model
4. Establishing or reviewing your missions policy, including short-term missions
5. Walking with a prospective worker from point of interest to point of departure for the field
6. Resolving partnership difficulties
7. Objectively evaluating missionary support and involvement
8. Improving missionary care
9. Connecting missions to younger generations in your church
10. Communicating missions with limited exposure in services
