After much prayer and deliberation, we have created this ministry to provide churches and nonprofit organizations with the resources and technical assistance needed to achieve their goals. Having worked with schools, churches, government organizations and service providers for over thirty years, I have seen the amount of time, effort and money these organizations have been required to devote to administrative and technical duties. This has often hampered the organization in achieving its spiritual and service goals. We will save your organization time, money and worries by providing tools and expertise to allow you to focus your assets and energies to meeting the needs of your clients, your congregation and funding organizations. We want your organization to achieve its mission and vision. We also want you to receive full credit for your efforts. For this reason, we work with you as a "silent partner" to seamlessly integrate our efforts and resources into your organization and its projects. You will receive full credit for your organization's accomplishments. We are happy knowing that we have provided valuable service to our community and our Father.

Financial Services We have several years of experience in accounting, administration of government programs and income tax. We can assist you with documentation and reporting requirements for public and private funding entities. We can also serve as a resource for those who wish to outsource their financial functions. And we can assist your organization and clients in securing funding for your organizational needs.

Planning Services A successful project requires careful planning. This is especially true if you are trying to submit a proposal for start-up funding. Funders are willing to provide "seed money" for worthy projects but they want to see evidence that the project has been well thought out and has a good chance to sustain itself on a long-term basis. In addition, they want to know that you have plans to educate the public about the merits of your organization and your project. We will help you develop these presentations to secure funding and support for both your organization and its projects.

Project Management We will help you monitor activities and assets to assure your project meets time and budgetary requirements. We will also help you locate needed resources to assure your project achieves its desired results. And we will submit regular reports to keep you informed about the progress of your project and to alert you to any needed changes or potential difficulties.

Web Site Development Every day, more organizations are taking advantage of the internet to communicate with their clients and the community. Unfortunately, many nonprofits lack the finances, tools and technical knowledge to effectively use this valuable resource. We will help your organization develop an internet presence quickly and inexpensively. If you wish, we will also administer your web site and make any changes needed to reflect changes within your organization.

Music Ministry We can create musical accompaniment for your church service using any instrumentation from a single piano or organ to a full symphony. We can also coordinate your service by finding music which refers to the theme or scriptural reference of your service. We can also produce sheet music for
