Included is a brief outline of what we feel is needed to set in motion a plan that we have nurtured for many years. Thank you so much for your consideration and time!
The Fed Ministries Project and DINKS (Discount Inks) is already underway, though lacking fundamental income to achieve envisioned success. Our plans call for the centralization of specialized personnel in a training and education facility where the work begins. The mentoring process starts with qualified people leading prospective clients through a process whereby they will ultimately own and operate their own “Turn Key” business.
The Clients will be qualified, yet disenfranchised people who are in need due to lack of funding or loss of jobs to provide and care for their family, a true hand up concept. Clients will be selected based on need, commitment and experience. Our initial project calls for the creation of ten new office equipment and supply businesses in the greater Portland/Vancouver and Salem areas. This will provide the necessary funding to expand our ministry into other fields and professions.
The hired teachers will assist and educate any willing and able person towards owning and operating a successful business of their own. We initially need funding for building the groundwork to establish the core company training center and then individual “franchises” based on an apprenticeship model.
Before each business is established we will need to equip the training facilities and staff. Then the clients will be mentored and set out in their new businesses. They will pay back a small percentage of their gross business sales to generate funds for future projects and further mentoring. They will also be required to assist and develop two more businesses as part of their agreement with DINKS for helping them get started. Each franchise will also be required to contribute 5% of their gross sales back to the general fund; and 5% to the person who helped them establish their business; thus creating an incentive to “Love Their Neighbor” and to tithe a total of 10% from their business.
As you can imagine, we have had much interest in our project from people seeking their own business so they can buy their own housing and provide for their families, however lack of funding has been our biggest barrier to helping others achieve. Once begun and with enough businesses established and contributing back, the need for funding would be supplied through a vast network of businesses all across this nation and even abroad. This model can eventually be applied to any talent or expertise; truly a people-helping-people co-op instead of the dog-eat-dog system of competition. We know from experience that people are more compelled to work and build something for themselves and their families than as workers for someone else. We want to help them to establish a pride-filled business and value-filled life. This system will allow them also to partake in the satisfaction that they are a part of something much bigger than themselves by helping others; eventually tens of thousands of others in their lifetime, God willing. We believe through the grace of God we will be a blessing to literally millions around the world in our lifetime. There will be many people blessed through this model, all becoming blessings themselves through this process of helping each other.
Our model includes keeping the overheads low for the participating businesses and thereby competing at any level with outside sources. We project a 5-year funding start-up window before we are self-reliant. The estimated costs are listed below.
Administrative funds for project managers
Funds for the incorporation of 1 sales manager, whose job will be to train outside sales people to work in each Clients business until they achieve a pre-determined sales volume and can then have their business placed entirely under their control. The sales manager position will be based on a business model as well thus creating a new business franchise who in turn can and will mentor other new businesses in this field.
Funds for the incorporation of 1 marketing manager to build and maintain a advertising presence for each business model. (websites, sales leads and contacts, print media, subscriptions Etc) This position will also be established as a new business model for the marketing manager as well, thus creating a new business franchise who in turn can and will be required to mentor other new businesses in this field.
1 Printing and copying Manager to facilitate in producing literature and advertising materials for new businesses as they grow, thus creating yet another business opportunity and more.
2 secretaries to assist in organization and scheduling.
2 to eventually 10 telemarketers; for advertising and appointment setting for the sales staff and manager. This position will also become a business model for one key person for each business established creating yet more businesses as to their agreement with DINKS.
3 warehouse workers to help facilitate incoming and outgoing inventory. This position will also allow new business owners as well, as we want to create a recycling center for electronics, computers, and surplus items, to provide product and opportunities for yet more people in service as well. 1 project Administrator 1 Service Tech and manager. This position will also provide a new business opportunity and more as they are needed.
Some part-time help will be needed as we get started for organizing and setting up the complex
