infuseinfuse leadership mentoring service.

Dear Children’s Ministry Leader,

            In early 2007 I got new marching orders for my life. The Lord gave me a fresh desire to take what I’ve learned about children’s ministry and leadership and pass it on to the next generation of leaders. I began to look for ways to do this in addition to my monthly audio leadership resource “the Club.” I added blogs, began to host forums and discussion groups online and began to write for several ministry publications; yet I knew there was still something missing. It seemed like the more I did to mentor others the more people wanted me to come up with a way to personally coach and mentor them. For years I’ve been looking for a way to offer a mentoring service that’s intensive yet affordable for any size church. I think I have come up with a program to accomplish what I’ve wanted to accomplish for the cost of a four-day conference.
             I am pleased to announce a brand new one-year mentoring experience I’m calling Infuse. Mr. Webster defines infuse as: to instill a quality or skill in someone or something; to soak or pour into. This is what I’ve been looking for, a way to pour into others what it’s taken me years to learn so they can be better leaders and accomplish more in less time. Infuse will be limited to 20 selected candidates. I’m excited at this place in my life and ministry to be able to make this service available.
Look over all the information and ask the Lord if infuse is right for you. I’d love for you to prayerfully consider this investment in yourself, in your dreams and in your ministry, I want to help you become the leader you want to be and pour into you the qualities and skills to make your dreams reality. I believe this is my chance to take what the years have given me so I can pass it on to the next generation. Take a moment to review the information about this unique opportunity. I’m looking forward to this with all my heart!

Wanting to make a difference in others,

Jim

What’s infuse?
Infuse is a 12 month mentoring experience available to 20 selected children’s pastors and leaders. This program which runs from September through August of each year is open to any leader with a desire to learn and a willingness to commit themselves to whatever it takes to go to your desired level. Candidates will be chosen from the application process regardless of size of your present church or years of experience.

Infuse is more than a program or curriculum. It’s a 12 month mentoring experience with Jim that includes the following:
Personality testing and comparisons for you, your spouse and your pastor or supervisor. Once you’ve been accepted you will be sent a link for you, your spouse and your supervisor to take the Path Element Profile (PEP®) personality assessment by Laurie Beth Jones. You’ll also get a personal phone appointment with Jim to go over the results and comparisons to help you excel in these two important relationships. And to help Jim understand your giftings and your uniqueness so he can more effectively coach you during your year of Infuse. (This alone is a $500 value)

Powerful interactive conference calls. Once every month Jim hosts a conference call with the members of Infuse. This is a special time where you can hear and receive from Jim’s heart and experience. Because these calls are interactive you’ll be able to ask questions and learn from Jim and the other members of infuse. From time to time Jim will ask some of his children’s ministry friends to join these calls and you’ll be able to learn from other trusted children’s ministry experts and veterans.

Two intense “get-a-way” retreats at Jim’s house in Murfreesboro,  (Nashville) Tennessee. Twice a year you’ll be invited to Jim’s home for two very full days of intense mentoring and coaching with Jim and the other leaders chosen to take part in Infuse. The dates of these events will be determined by the availability of all those taking place in Infuse and will be announced before the experience begins.

Unlimited mentoring by Jim via his personal email. Each member of infuse will be given Jim’s personal email address where they can ask questions about children’s ministry and leadership directly to Jim throughout the year. This is like having your own personal children’s ministry veteran on your team.

Small group one-on-one support and encouragement. Each person taking part in infuse will be teamed with several other children’s pastors assigned by Jim for the sake of developing a close “friend and care group.”
These groups are for the purpose of accountability, prayer support and creating ongoing “iron sharpening iron” relationships.

A free registration of your choice to a regional training event featuring Jim as well as an opportunity to share a meal with him.  During your year of Infuse you’ll be able to be Jim’s guest at any Kidz Blitz regional seminar where Jim is speaking.  You’ll also be able to share a meal with him for the purpose of mentoring and personal coaching.

An optional second year will be made available for those who want to continue.  Jim believes that the benefits of this type of experience will be so dynamic that the members of Infuse will not want to stop having this type of Elijah-Elisha resource at their disposal.

 

How much will this cost me?
For less than the price of a four-day conference you can have a unique mentoring and coaching experience for a whole year. The entire Infuse membership is $1,500 but it is not all due at one time. Upon acceptance into the program a non-refundable deposit of $300 is due to hold your spot. Then on the 1st day of the month for each month of the Infuse program $100 is due until the remaining balance of $1,200 is paid in full. You can pay the entire $1,500 at one time if you like and receive a free MP3 membership to the Club (monthly audio leadership resource.)
Each Infuse member will be responsible for their own travel expenses to and from the retreats and the regional event as well as lodging. JWM will negotiate a reduced rate at a near by hotel and will also be glad to help accommodate those who desire to save money by sharing a room.  All meals during the retreats will be included in your Infuse membership fee. When you look at what you get comparing apples to apples Infuse is a real steal and is truly affordable. Here are some ideas on where the money can come from:

What’s next?
Complete an application. These twenty spots will fill up fast. The quicker you apply the quicker you can be accepted. There is no application fee but once you are accepted your $300 non-refundable deposit is due to hold your space.
