These people who have been called and anointed to do God's work, usually start out with little or no understanding of the Bible and work hard at trying to protect what little they have been given. With Bible and leadership training, they catch fire and vision to get out of this "defensive" mode and take an aggressive posture that comes only through confidence in understanding the impact God's church can have on not only their small territory but also in their city, nation, and the world. This can happen regardless of their economical, cultural, location, or physical situation. One such situation was in a prison in one of the most dangerous cities in the world, San Pedro Sula, Honduras. We have held classes in this prison for over a year and I was privileged to graduate 13 students inside of the prison last week. Without actually being there, one cannot imagine the darkness in this prison. There are 2,500 inmates in a prison with a maximum capacity of 800! Except for emergencies, the guards do not enter beyond the outer gates and leave the inmates to survive on their own. One of the inmates is Pastor Angel, who has lived inside the prison for over 10 years.

Obviously, nonprofits and businesses are different in governance. For-profit businesses are owned by its shareholders. Although there are no financial shareholders with nonprofits, the organization is “owned” by those who believe in its mission and give financially towards it. As we saw in part 2, the board governs the organization and makes sure that it operates under the guise of the original purpose. In part 3, the staff that works under the executive director, who is hired by the board, is responsible to daily carry out the mission within the boundaries set forth by the board. The real stakeholders, who include both of the entities above, are the financial supporters of the organization. Although there is no official stakeholder voting, they vote with their money, their time, and their prayers. Without this group of people, there is no organization. We have been blessed through the years with a great group of people that have been generous with their resources and have helped accomplish incredible things through GA. I have had the opportunity to speak with or visit many of these wonderful people from all walks of life. I wish that I had time to highlight them all!.
