Jim Hamilton brings over 40 years of experience as a church planter, missionary, pastor, and leadership mentor.
He’s walked the very path this program prepares you for—raising support, building partnerships, and trusting God deeply along the way.
Jim is known for his down-to-earth teaching style and genuine investment in the people he serves. He creates a learning space that’s both honest and encouraging—where strategy meets soul, and principles become practice.
Over the years, he’s helped hundreds of leaders move from uncertainty to full funding. His coaching is backed by certifications in Ministry Partner Development, Executive Coaching, and Team Coaching through globally recognized organizations like the International Coaching Federation and Support Raising Solutions (SRS).
This unique combination of ministry experience and professional coaching expertise makes Jim especially effective in guiding leaders toward sustainable, Spirit-led ministry partnership.

Pastoral Care Missionary & Support Raising Coach
“Jim is a visionary. He doesn’t focus on limitations — he sees what’s possible and helps you believe in it too. He’s a natural motivator, a gifted communicator, and one of the most encouraging leaders I’ve met. His stories will make you laugh, his words will challenge you, and his heart for people is undeniable. Exactly the kind of coach you want guiding a program like this.”
"My favorite part of MPD session 1 was hearing families share their perspectives on support raising in ministry. Many expressed unease about asking potential partners for financial support, which resonated with me. Thankfully, Jim's PRAY*SHARE*GIVE*GO approach outlines simple Biblical steps for building relational partnerships. His tender leadership and the families' honesty inspire me to move forward with confidence, believing my story can transform as I seek the Lord for my next steps. By God's grace, I will focus on reciprocal member care, emphasizing mutual support in ministry partnerships. Thank you for the great content!"

Yes - absolutely. The program is intentionally simple and user-friendly, even if you’re not comfortable with technology.
Everything happens in two familiar spaces: a private Facebook group (where we share materials and updates) and Zoom (for live sessions). If you already use Facebook, you’re 90% of the way there.
And you’re never on your own - our Program Manager is available for quick, friendly support if you ever run into a tech issue or need help finding something. We’re here to make the experience smooth and stress-free so you can focus on what matters: your ministry growth.
This MPD Coaching Program is a great fit if you:
This may not be the right fit if you:
See partner development as just a task
If you treat support-raising like a box to check instead of a ministry opportunity, this program likely won't connect.
Aren't ready to put in consistent effort
The program requires steady weekly commitment - it's not passive learning.
Aren't fully committed to your calling
This journey is designed for people who are clear about stepping into ministry and ready to move forward.
Want a quick fix instead of a lasting foundation
MPD is about long-term, Spirit-led partnership - not fast fundraising tactics.
No worries - we understand that life happens. All live sessions are recorded and shared in the Facebook community, so you can watch the replay at your convenience. While we encourage live participation for the best experience, you won't miss out on the content if you can't attend.
All of the above! Many participants join as couples, but individuals are welcome and supported just as fully. The content, exercises, and community are designed to work whether you're navigating this journey alone or with a partner.
The program begins with our live kickoff session on Thursday, September 4 at 10:00 AM MDT (Mountain Time), and runs through mid-January. It includes monthly live sessions, weekly resources, and ongoing community support across a 4-month span.
Yes! As long as you have reliable internet and a good grasp of English, you can participate fully from anywhere in the world. We've had participants from multiple countries, and we do our best to make the content accessible and culturally sensitive.
The private Facebook group is your space to connect with fellow participants, ask questions, share updates, and access all program materials. You can engage as much or as little as you like - the more you contribute, the more you'll get out of it, but there's no pressure. It's a flexible, encouraging space for real support.
The tools, coaching, and structure are all designed to move you toward full funding - but the results depend on your commitment to applying what you learn. We'll provide the framework, accountability, and support. You'll provide the follow-through, prayer, and personal outreach.
Both - and more than that. We'll equip you with practical tools, yes - but we'll also help you develop the mindset, spiritual grounding, and relational skills needed for long-term, sustainable ministry. MPD isn't just about funding a moment - it's about building a foundation for a lifetime of Kingdom impact.
Life happens, and we understand that sometimes your availability changes after you've joined.
If you've started the program and realize you can't continue due to schedule conflicts - but you're still interested in completing it - we'll offer you a full credit to join the next cohort instead. The dates for the upcoming cohort will be announced later, and we'll make sure you're notified in advance so you can plan ahead.
This way, you won't lose your investment, and you can still walk through the full experience when the timing is right.
