The Dorean Principle of Ministry
We Serve Freely. HGSI follows the Biblical principle: “Freely you have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:8).
We do not charge churches or ministries for:
- Training
- Advisory services
- Fundraising support
Serving the Church Through Biblical Stewardship
At the Higher Good Stewardship Institute (HGSI), we believe that the work of God should never be limited by the ability to pay.
That is why we operate under the Biblical principle:
“Freely you have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:8)
We Do Not Charge for Ministry Services
All our services—including training, advisory, and fundraising support—are provided freely to churches and Christian ministries.
We do not impose:
- Professional fees
- Consultancy charges
- Service-based pricing
Because our mission is not to sell services, but to strengthen the Church.
We Invite You to Partner With Us
While our services are free, we welcome churches and ministries to support the work voluntarily. Such support is not payment. It is partnership in advancing the Kingdom.
God's Provision Through His People's Generosity
Your generosity helps:
- Train more Christian fundraisers
- Equip more churches
- Sustain this ministry for future generations
Shared Responsibility in Implementation
To ensure effective delivery, partner ministries are requested to cover actual program costs such as:
- Venue and facilities
- Training materials
- Meals and logistics
Where necessary, partners may also provide:
- Basic transportation
- Simple, safe accommodation (up to 3-star standard)
Our Professional Services
We do have a team of professionals who have been in the development sector, business and IT industry - experts in their own fields - who have committed their time and resources to this ministry for the sake of the Gospel.
Advisory Support with Integrity
Our advisory services are delivered by experienced professionals, yet remain ministry-based.
If a local church or ministry chooses to give financial support:
- It is voluntary
- It should not exceed 10% of funds raised
- It supports operations—not services
Campaign Costs
All fundraising-related operational costs—such as payment processing fees and bank charges—are handled within the campaign or by the ministry partner.
No Advance Fees
We do not require or accept advance payments. The only exception is when a ministry chooses to cover:
- Travel
- Accommodation
- Pre-approved logistical costs
More Than a Service—A Partnership
We do not engage as vendors. We walk alongside churches as partners in mission, committed to:
- Biblical stewardship
- Donor trust
- Long-term sustainability
Our Commitment
We exist to help the Church move:
From survival… To sustainability… To Kingdom impact.
