Both! Whether you're raising your first dollar or you've been at it for years and feel stuck, the system meets you where you are. We've had brand new missionaries and 20-year veterans attend and both walk away with breakthroughs.

We understand, and we don't take the investment lightly. Many attendees have asked their sending organization to cover the cost as a professional development investment. Others have asked a donor to fund their ticket as an investment in the sustainability of their ministry — and many have received support this way!

To help you, here is a free email template you can adjust to your own needs:

Many of our attendees have used this to great effect. Also, here is a free video where we walk you through the template.

Ask your supporters to support you!

Absolutely. The principles we teach apply to any missionary who needs to raise support, regardless of where you serve. We've worked with missionaries in sensitive regions around the world and the framework adapts to your unique situation.

We hear this a lot. Most trainings give you theory: concepts you write in a notebook and never implement. Fully Funded LIVE is designed so you do the work in the room. You'll write your support letter during the conference. You'll build your communication plan before you leave. You'll map out your 90-day action plan with coaching. This isn't another notebook-on-the-shelf experience.

We highly encourage it! Support raising is a team effort, and having your spouse or ministry partner in the room means you're both aligned on strategy and messaging from the start. If you're coming with an organization, check out our Team ticket pricing for group discounts.

Every ticket includes full access to both days, all conference materials and workbook, done-for-you templates and scripts, group coaching with Mary and Mike, and meals (lunch, coffee, and snacks both days). Platinum and Team tickets include additional perks — see the pricing section for details.

If you can't make it, let us know at least 30 days before the event for a full refund. Within 30 days, we'll apply your ticket as a credit toward a future Fully Funded event or Academy enrollment. Contact [email protected] with any questions.

The Hope Center is located at 2001 W Plano Parkway, Plano, TX 75075. It's easily accessible from both DFW International Airport (approximately 25–40 minutes) and Dallas Love Field (approximately 30–45 minutes), depending on traffic. We'll send detailed directions and parking information after you register.

Yes. The full conference will be recorded and made available to all registered attendees after the event. That said, the real value is being in the room — the live coaching, group feedback, and hands-on work sessions can't be replicated on a screen.

Fully Funded LIVE covers the core framework in a live, hands-on setting with personalized coaching — but it's not a replacement for the Academy. Think of it as an accelerator. Many of our Academy members attend LIVE to fast-track their progress and get direct feedback on their strategy. If you're not yet a member, this is a great place to start.

This is a workshop, not a rah-rah rally. The energy is warm, focused, and practical. You'll work at your own pace on your own materials with coaching support. There's no cold-calling practice or forced networking. Just a room full of people who understand your world, doing meaningful work alongside you.

Some of our best outcomes have been with missionaries who were close but stuck. The last 10–20% is often the hardest because the urgency fades and the strategy gets fuzzy. This conference will give you the plan — and the push — to cross the finish line and build the systems to stay fully funded. Also, it's not a bad thing to be overfunded!
