THANK YOU! Marked Men For Christ ministry cannot operate without volunteers like you.
As an all-volunteer men’s ministry, we rely solely on men like you to step-up in service to your
brothers around the world. Your servant leadership to your brothers is a gift (talent) that you
give-away and then, it has the opportunity to be multiplied (Matthew 25). May God continue to
bless you, brother! Since 2002, even though our operating costs have increased during the past
9-years, we have NOT increased our staff fee, nor have we changed our financial policy.
Our current operational cost for a staff man is; per Phase 1 44-hour Experience:
$100.00 (2-nights lodging and 6-meals; range +/- 30%), 15.00 (staff shirt), 1.50 (bottle), 0.50
(pen), 12.00 (est. $700.00 airfare for Co-Leaders, Trailer Transportation, etc. / 60-total men per
P1)
TOTAL: $129.00 cost per Staff Man (average)
Thus, with only an $85.00 requested staff fee, we are in a deficit position with every staff man
on almost every P1. We continue to trust GOD in our daily operation of your MMFC ministry.
HE has been so faithful during the past 9-years and we trust that HE will continue into the fu-
ture. At the same time, we are entrusted to operate as wise stewards of HIS ministry.
The Marked Men For Christ ministry Board of Directors has decided, that after 9-years of
holding the requested staff fee at $85, that effective January 1, 2011, we will increase the Phase
1 Experience STAFF FEE to better reflect today’s economic reality.
a) Staff men will be asked to pay: $120.00 versus $85.00 (41% increase)
b) Co-Leaders, Board members, and any man with 25-staffings or more will be asked to pay
$100.00 versus $50 (50% increase)
We ARE NOT increasing the missioner fee.
We WILL continue to execute our MMFC ministry financial policy for the staff and mission-
ers; “Please pay the requested fee, but if you are not able, what can you afford? That is good
enough and you are considered paid-in-full.”
Not every staff man is able to pay his requested fee. So I humbly ask for you to share a portion
of your tithe with Marked Men For Christ ministry. Since there are NO employees, all monies
go directly to our P1 program and your brothers who need your financial support. Thank you
holy men!

You should be receiv-
ing or have received a
letter with an envelope
to make your gift dona-
tion. Please keep in mind
that for your conven-
ience you can also make
a gift donation online,
using a credit or debit
card. We humbly ask
you to prayerfully con-
sider a sacrificial gift.
As 2010
comes to an end and we embrace
a new year of new challenges,
Marked Men for Christ Ministry is
asking you to consider making a gift
donation. 100% of your donations go to programs;
we have no paid staff. Your generosity makes it pos-
sible for about 40% of God’s men who cannot afford
to attend this healing weekend to find the gift of
peace and healing in Jesus Christ. Additionally, we
are asking for your generous help for the men in
Kenya and the Dominican Republic who have no
means of support. $100 will support one man in need.
Your faith-filled gift can
change and save a life
for this generation and
the next. Please be in
Mission as we share and
bring the Gospel to the
ends of the Earth.
