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.
