Thursday - May 17th, 2012
This is a much needed post about what's next. I first want to start off with thanking all of you for believing in me. Your continual prayers are so appreciated.
In February of this year as you know I had the kick off for Mallery Schaffer Ministries. I am so thankful God has placed this on my heart to use fitness as a platform to share the gospel. I've seen women change right in front of my eyes. God is so good.
My goal was to raise just enough to start the process of being a non-profit that can receive tax deductible gifts. Hallelujah - God always makes a way and we raised every penny needed and a little bit more. The paper work should be filed with in the next few weeks. I will make sure to post the documentation with a picture of the proof.
As of right now I will be setting up a separate (make a difference) account at the bank and getting idea's, suggestions and support from people like you. If you know someone that has a printing business and would like to donate their services to help my ministry with the print of gospel tracks and donation envelopes, please contact me immediately or pass my information along to them. This will not only help people get to know Christ, I will have the opportunity to give each person something tangible to read.
When the paper work is filed, I will be setting up a meeting with all board directors and treasurer.
The topics: If you have any suggestions, please feel free to email me Inspiremefitness@gmail.com
#1. How to fundraise for the non-profit (events, donations, races, charities, speaking engagements, monthly ministry support)
#2. Expanding the sermon/fitness class that will start back up Wednesday evenings. How to start approaching churches to start small faith/fitness women's groups. How many days a week? What topics/visuals to use in class.
#3. How much funding will we need before we start sharing the gospel in drug rehab centers (my heart) nursing homes, schools, hospitals and churches. What's the goals?
Thanks again for your continual love, support and prayer with out you all this ministry would not be standing.
Have a blessed day. Much love!
Mallery
