<strong>2013</strong> <strong>Foursquare</strong> Cabinet <strong>Foursquare</strong> Missions International <br />
Field specific reading lists have been established and upgraded and will continue to be <br />
developed into <strong>2013</strong>. <br />
Support Raising Coaches <br />
In November 2012, 18 <strong>Foursquare</strong> pastors were trained as support raising coaches. <strong>The</strong>se <br />
pastors attended training along side of our <strong>Foursquare</strong> missionary candidates. <strong>The</strong>se coaching <br />
pastors will be assigned to a new missionary candidate(s) that has been approved to raise <br />
support. <strong>The</strong>y will provide weekly encouragement and accountability during the time that they <br />
are raising support to go to the field. Our professional support-‐raising trainer, Henri Moreau, <br />
has provided both training and coaching materials written specifically for <strong>Foursquare</strong> Missions <br />
International. This training focuses on raising funds from individuals rather than focusing on <br />
churches as a support base. This new coaching role is being beta tested this spring. <br />
Grant Approval <br />
<strong>Foursquare</strong> Missions International, <strong>Foursquare</strong> Media and <strong>Foursquare</strong> Missions Press partnered <br />
together in 2012 and were approved for a $40,000 <strong>Foursquare</strong> Foundation Leadership <br />
Development Grant. <strong>The</strong>se funds as well as matching funds will provide the starting monies <br />
needed to provide translation and distribution of <strong>Foursquare</strong> resources for <strong>Foursquare</strong> leaders <br />
and pastors around the world. A second grant is being submitted in hopes of providing a wider <br />
scope of translation and distribution possibilities in the immediate future. <strong>The</strong> ultimate goal is <br />
to provide every pastor and leader with a package of doctrinally correct materials in a language <br />
that can easily be read and understood. <strong>The</strong>se materials include but are not limited to: <br />
• Foundations of Pentecostal <strong>The</strong>ology <br />
<strong>The</strong> ICFG Board of Directors has approved the translation of the new edition of this book <br />
in three chapter segments as they are completed and approved. <br />
• <strong>The</strong> <strong>Foursquare</strong> <strong>Church</strong> <br />
• Women in Leadership Ministry <br />
• Disciples of All Nations <br />
FMI Communications <strong>Report</strong> <br />
Rod Light <br />
rlight@foursquare.org <br />
<strong>Foursquare</strong> Missions has a rich heritage of effective global ministry but often has lacked the <br />
same finesse and relational equity with our U.S. pastors, leaders and church members. This is <br />
especially true in the area of FMI Communications. <br />
Identifying the Roadmap in 2012 <br />
Our threefold goal during 2012 was to identify successes and failures of past communication <br />
efforts, determine what currently works well, and develop a roadmap for success in a new <br />
paradigm and with a new communications philosophy. <br />
FMI contracted with Mark Dreistadt and his team from Infinity Concepts to consult and help <br />
steer our processes and personnel leading to a sustainable and self-‐sufficient communications <br />
