Your Next Step Ministries

Ephesians 3:20-21 ESV
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Your Next Step is all about training leaders to do ministry. Here is a note from a Church Planter who recently graduated from our program. He is raising support and hopes to be in France by the fall.

“In a very real way, my last few months have been fraught with challenges that all seemed to demand that I become discouraged. I realized I only had the courage to face these trials because God in His mercy and grace directed my steps towards Your Next Step Ministries. More to the point, Doug, had it not been for your mentoring, and pouring into me as a leader and friend, I would have been a casualty of these trials. You and Joan really sharpened my hunger for God and taught me better how to connect to God in prayer. I love Him more and I think I understand His will better. I realize mostly that God is even bigger than I imagined and Has planned more carefully than I could with 1000 lifetimes, a big-rig full of coffee and no need for sleep. Thank you. 75% support and climbing!”

Notes like these fuel the fire in me to continue doing what we started almost a decade ago. Equipping leaders who are starting churches, ministering in orphanages, caring for widows, leading their businesses in Christ honoring ways, discipling their kids, leading small groups, and reaching mission fields with the love of Christ, makes the difficulties seem a little less difficult.

Our base budget is $75,000.00. That is the annualized total of what we receive in monthly support. However, our operational budget requires that we raise the additional funds. For example, last year the total amount of budget expenditures was $97,213.92. This year, we would like to expand the ministry to include more “Ricardo’s”, but doing so means increasing our budgeted expenditures to $150,000.00. This means that we are seeking additional monthly ministry partners who believe in the value of what we are doing through our classes, writing, teaching, preaching, and mission efforts. If you’d like to join us in the adventure, you can do so in four ways.

1. Praying regularly for Your Next Step.
2. Joining a class or booking us to come to your church.
3. Giving a special gift.
4. Pledging monthly an amount of your choosing.

Thank you for supporting Your Next Step Ministries. Your efforts have empowered us to invest in men like Ricardo who are taking the gospel to the ends of the earth.
