20 Apr The Mission Minute Issue #2
| During this time of staying at home, Zoom calls, and reading overwhelming amounts of information — Mission Triangle is excited to pass along a weekly “Mission Minute” full of simple nuggets of encouragement, key learnings, and announcements. We find them helpful and hope you do as well! |
Biblical Truth
- Giving is a gift. For those of us who can give right now, let us rejoice in that opportunity… and do something with it. Two trending hashtags you may be seeing, #StimulusTithe and #GivingTuesdayNow (May 5th) should get us all thinking. This is great way to support nonprofits as they serve.

- But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you and we have given only what comes from your hand. – 1 Chronicles 29:14

Sound Business Principle
- Mission Statement: 20 words or less that sets the course of your organization and does not change regardless of the circumstance, unless approved by the Board. It answers the question, “what am I doing, for whom, to what end?” As we pivot, are we staying true to our mission?
