SUMMARY:Church Engagement Conversation Cohort
DESCRIPTION:Is your role in your organization in part\, or in whole\, church engagement? If so\, this is for you. \nJoin us for a short\, informal “conversation cohort” opportunity where church engagement leaders gather\, connect\, ask questions and share ideas. While there is no formal teaching or presentation\, we do gather around an idea or topic each month to help spur the conversation along and generate ideas and action steps. \nWe meet on Zoom for no longer than 45 minutes\, and space is limited – no more than 12 people at a time. These are first come\, first served opportunities. There are multiple options each month on different days and at different times to create space for different schedules. \nIf the date no longer shows on the calendar\, that means the cohort is full. Email me and we can see about squeezing you in! \nThis virtual experience is free\, but space is limited. We ask you only register for a spot if you have every intention of joining. We understand the unexpected can come up last minute\, but to the degree that you can\, please protect this time on your calendar. \nWHO CAN REGISTER? Please only register if you are currently and actively working with/for an organization\, agency or ministry that is actively engaging churches to partner with you in your work. \nVIDEO ON REQUIRED. Please do not register unless you will be able to have your video on during the call. The face-to-face connection and interaction is extremely important. \nIf you’d like to be added to the list to receive future communications about cohorts and other opportunities\, fill out the form HERE. \nContact alyssa.dunahoo@cafo.org if you have any questions!

SUMMARY:Stewarding God's Provision: Your Champion-Centered Fundraising Plan
DESCRIPTION:Taught by Kevin Whitman\, Senior Director of Mission Increase Curriculum Development \nA comprehensive fundraising plan does more than project income\, it creates a roadmap for growing champions in your cause and aligning every activity with God’s calling for your ministry. This workshop helps you create or strengthen a fundraising plan that honors God as the owner of all resources while stewarding your ministry’s calling with wisdom and intentionality. You’ll learn to assess your current realities\, set goals rooted in both champion growth and financial need and establish regular review rhythms that keep your plan responsive rather than static. \nWhether you’re building your first plan or returning to sharpen one you’ve used for years\, you’ll leave with practical tools\, and a fresh eye on your own data\, to write or refine a plan that infuses your entire organization with a biblical approach to fundraising. \nRegister separately for the follow-up Debrief to maximize your learning and experience.

SUMMARY:Global Roundtable: Three Roles of a Network Leader // Mesa redonda de Global Network: Tres funciones de un líder de redes
DESCRIPTION:Across the globe\, Christian leaders are answering the call to work together for vulnerable children and families. But leading a network well takes more than passion — it takes clarity about how you’re wired to lead. Join CAFO’s Global Network team for a Roundtable exploring the Three Roles of a Network Leader\, a framework that identifies the distinct roles network leaders play and the unique strengths each one requires. You’ll come away understanding your own leadership tendencies\, learning how to focus your time on what you do best\, and discovering how to invite other leaders with complementary gifts to serve alongside you. *Seating is limited to Global Network members only \nEn todo el mundo\, líderes cristianos están respondiendo al llamado de trabajar juntos por los niños y las familias en situación de vulnerabilidad. Pero liderar una red de manera efectiva requiere más que pasión; requiere claridad sobre la manera en que Dios le ha capacitado para liderar.

Descubrirá cuáles son sus propias tendencias de liderazgo\, aprenderá a enfocar su tiempo en aquello que mejor hace y verá cómo invitar a otros líderes con dones complementarios a servir junto a usted. *Los cupos son limitados y están disponibles únicamente para los miembros de Global Network
