OUR OBJECTIVES
Our Vital Objectives
Our Vital Objectives are general statements and, although unmeasurable, support one another. Over the next three to five years (2020-2026), as the Lord leads, we will prayerfully implement the following six Vital Objectives:

Our Stop List
- Stop all live courses except local Seminars.
- Eliminate traditional operating costs by using home offices.
- Stop creating new program Internet program pages–recycle what we already have.
- Defer outreach to other Christian Universities and Colleges. Focus on Aidan University.
- Defer recruiting new Ministry Team Leaders. Focus on growing our current Ministry Team Leaders.
- Do not pay for digital or print advertising by creating and posting our own material when possible.
Our Second Mile Service
Going the Second Mile comes from the book of Matthew. Jesus says, “If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.” (Matthew 5:41)
In ministry, as it is in life, people have certain expectations: B Be nice, work hard, be ethical, and say “please” and “thank you.” We should do those things because it is right. It is expected. it is obligatory, and most of the time a compulsion that takes little. It is the First Mile.
Going the Second Mile ups the ante. It is the “above and beyond.” It is under-promising and over-delivering. It is analyzing Ministry Applications to find what people value and to discover their expectations. it is sending personal emails, making personal phone calls, and listening. It is helping Team Members work through a financial crisis. It is sending electronic birthday cards and personally responding to their Blogs, Prayer Requests, and Praise Reports. It is making available to any Ministry Team member any of our published content to use as the Lord directs–all at no charge.
Going the Second Mile means putting others before yourself in a world that is all too often about “me, me, me.”
