How’s your fundraising working for you right now? Do you feel stuck? Are the methods you're using just not connecting with supporters anymore? In this episode, fundraising expert Mary Valloni and branding strategist Mike Kim share modern, proven strategies missionaries can use to fully fund their ministry without awkward sales pitches or burnout.

Learn how to keep donors through big transitions, build a small but powerful advocacy team, brand yourself in a God-honoring way, and tell the three essential stories every missionary needs. If you’re ready for fresh ideas that work in today’s world, this episode is for you.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• What’s really working now in missionary fundraising—and how to spot tactics that are wasting your time.
• Ways to approach donors so conversations feel natural, not like a sales pitch.
• How to identify and recruit three to five key advocates who will open doors you can’t open alone.
• A simple mindset shift that makes branding yourself feel God-honoring instead of self-promoting.
