In Episode 55, we stress tailoring presentations to a church’s focus, and using the 5 Ws and H to share a ministry’s vision. Prepare well, secure slots early, and use stories and visuals. Keep financial asks clear, seeking larger support from home churches. Engage post-presentation with a table and follow-ups. Churches may give love offerings, regular gifts, or non-financial support like space. Gratitude and consistent updates foster lasting partnerships, emphasizing preparation and authentic relationships.

[1:00-3:00] Tailoring Communication: Corrie stresses customizing presentations to a church’s schedule and mission focus, whether a brief pitch or longer talk, to resonate with the congregation and highlight the ministry’s alignment with their goals.

[4:00-9:00] Vision vs. Financial Ask: The hosts distinguish between informing congregations about the ministry’s impact and making financial asks, emphasizing vision casting. Corrie suggests securing presentation slots via the pastor or missions committee, ideally a quarter in advance.

[11:00-15:00] Visuals and Storytelling: The hosts highlight the power of visuals (e.g., Bible translation examples) and storytelling to engage audiences, noting that stories increase retention significantly and should be paired with context for impact.

[23:00-30:00] 5 Ws and H Framework: Corrie explains using Who (people served/team), What (activities), When (timeline), Where (location), Why (purpose), and How (methods) to structure clear, compelling presentations, ensuring context before specific stories.

[34:00-39:00] Post-Presentation Engagement: Corrie shares tips for lobby engagement, like setting up a table with ministry materials and signup sheets, using body language to manage conversations, and following up to build relationships.
