Join Mary Valloni and Mike Kim just 15 minutes after Fully Funded Live ended! One idea people kept coming back to: confidence is tied to results, but your worth is not.

Mary and Mike talk through the difference between self-confidence and self-worth, the lies missionaries have been told about money, why it's necessary to borrow belief from the people sitting next to you, and why support raising was never meant to be a solo sport.

Most missionary fundraising advice tells you to be everywhere. Mary Valloni makes the case for one platform instead, and it is probably not the one you would guess.

This is for missionaries and ministry leaders raising support who are tired of posting into the void. Mary walks through why a private Facebook group outperforms a public page, where it sits next to your email list, and exactly how to build one. She also covers who this strategy is not for, including anyone serving in a closed nation.

1:24 - Why Facebook, and why pages stopped working
5:56 - Who this is not for, and why email comes first
7:47 - Where the private group fits
12:03 - Setting up your group, step by step
16:48 - How to get the right people in
19:39 - Recap

Missionary fundraising gets harder when the words get in the way. Mary Valloni walks through seven phrases missionaries say without thinking twice, and the small swap that turns each one from a request into an invitation.

None of these phrases are wrong, exactly. They just put the donor in the wrong seat. If asking for support has ever felt awkward to you, that awkwardness is not a character flaw. It's a skill nobody ever taught you.

2:09 - Swap 1: "Need" becomes "our goal"
4:29 - Swaps 2 and 3: Give a range, not a number
9:26 - Swap 4: Ask for advice, not money
12:06 - Swap 5: "The next time you give, would you consider us?"
15:28 - Swaps 6 and 7: Get specific, then make the invitation
20:28 - All seven, back to back
