How will the Hope Center provide synergy between the ministries?
• Working in such close proximity will foster opportunities for increased cooperation, drawing on each other’s areas of expertise rather than “reinventing the wheel.” • Those from different ministries who have similar job responsibilities will meet to brainstorm, problem solve, and share common practices. • Managers of finance, fund-raising, and technology will be able to meet together—frequently and inexpensively—with the goal of enhancing their areas of specialty even more than before. • Ministry team members who discuss their ideas and projects with like-minded people can accomplish more together than any one ministry could achieve alone. • We will inevitably experience the “bump factor”—bumping into those we normally wouldn’t encounter. As a result, the principle of Proverbs 27:17 (NIV), “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” will flourish.
