Webinar on Fundraising and Strategy
One of the remarkable things about listener supported Christian radio ministries is continuously seeing the faithfulness of God. Any relationship has to be cultivated intentionally though, both with our donor and with God. We must be effectively communicating God’s love and care through our music and ministry. Engaging listeners where they are on their journey. Seeking the Lord’s guidance and creating a strategic plan.
“May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!” Psalm 20:4 ESV

MEET OUR ROUND TABLE LEADERS
Brian Yeager
President, Barefoot Media Ministries
Brian’s love for fundraising comes from a passion for inspiring people to dream what the future can be and how they can change the world. His philosophy for fundraising is heavily influenced by his coach, Randy Bronkema, who didn’t let Brian focus on the overwhelming budget need but to dream and to focus on what God was calling the ministry to do. Since then, revenue at Barefoot Media Ministries has increased, more people have bought into the vision and the ministry continues to expand. Brian has been married to his amazing wife for 20 years, has 5 girls that call him dad, and enjoys photography, reading, and taking naps!
