Ministry Partnership Development (MPD)is often referenced with a negative connotation. And whether consciously or subconsciously, many of us come to this season with lonely, us versus them mentality as we try to find the funding to do what God has actually called us to do. I would like to contend that the MPD season is not lonely and unpreferable, but a faith-strengthening, relationally driven season of transition.

Healthy Kingdom Partnerships can thrive when “the people of God commit to collectively know and do the will of God, to advance the Kingdom of God, through the gospel of the Son of God, in the power of the Holy Spirit of God, for the glory of God among the nations.”
