RE: www.relationshipuniversity.org View it online now! (although still in development)
Dear Co-Laborers and Friends, Rick and Yvonne,
If people are perishing from a "lack of knowledge," and they don't know what they don't know. . .
–Where is the intermediary serving the servants Free (or at least for a "fair," cheap price)?
–Who will serve those serving others without gouging or over-promising and under-delivering?
–Who will Faith-Based and Community Organizations turn to for real T&A?
–Who will put servants at the forefront–in an other-orientated, NOT-for-profit-BUT-to-serve-the-servants-way? Especially connecting doers to donors and other resources?
–Who is going to help them know where to go to find what they need to know in order to help others know what THEY need to know?
We are. You and me and any others that join us in utilizing the world wide web 24/7/365 to empower servants to serve. Introducing www.relationshipuniversity.org.
Here's the idea: Quickly develop and build a website where people can come to find hope and practical and affordable help, Free book downloads and other useful things Free (or REALLY CHEAP!), Free redirects to helpful websites that focus their search, and much more. . . A One-Stop Shop for ALL Types of Relationships–The Ultimate Intermediary for leaders who are serving to meet needs in their community. A LOT of it is already shelled in and up. Things such as:
• Books on marriage and parenting that they can download either Free OR very cheap.
• Help to find funding or write grants for Free or very cheap for corporations, foundations, individuals, churches, and even State and Federal sources and connections.
• Leads to find residual income and business opportunities to support themselves.
• Connect to companies for affordable and competitive insurance and housing for nonprofit executives and ministry people.
• Capacity-building, sustainability, and empowerment–helping them to move from dependency on consultants to self-sufficiency through training and coaching.
• Help to do their own resume, sample letters, and help to find a job (as well as help others they are serving to find a job).
• Information on MANY relational topics that are condensed in one location to facilitate access that provide weblinks and other direct help to focus their search.
• Ask a question and receive Free training and assistance to find what they need?
• Watch Free streamed online videos and trainings).
• AND MUCH MORE!
Let me introduce you to this and more. . . Relationship University. Check it out! www.RelationshipUniversity.org
We will utilize the world wide web to post videos, manuscripts, sample documents of all types (resumes, grant proposals, letters, etc) in empowering the servants with what they need to serve–at NO cost or very little cost to be accessed 24/7/365. Isn’t that wonderful! There’s almost NO cost to anyone and we are empowering servants to enhance lives and move themselves from dependency to self-sufficiency. WOW! Do you have something that can be posted? Any ideas to more efficiently and effectively serve the servants through the world wide web? I am wanting to really develop it and launch it about August 15, 2007. BUT I need help in a variety of ways for this to maximize success:
1. Please consider allowing some of your writings (manuscripts, working papers, etc.) on the site. OR if you have ideas of other sites and/or information that need to be posted or linked, please let me know SOON and I’ll get it ready. I want as much as is possible to be available as a Free download BUT also want to direct people to available resources at a "fair" price or to websites for no cost. The launch date is in 3 weeks! Please let me know SOON if you have any ideas about this.
2. Please pray for me and the others developing the site. We need help. Call me if you want to help us!
3.Please refer people to www.relationshipuniversity.org. If you find it helpful, please help us get the word out about it. It will stay accessible and in process with daily updates, changes, and additions from now on BUT will be formally launched and publicized after August 15, 2007. If you know someone who might have a keen interest in helping with the site, please feel free to pass this information along to them.
4. I need to raise a minimum of $5,000 to launch the site (You know me, money is never the problem NOR the solution BUT it does take money!). If you can send a check for any amount, please do. If you REALLY want to help, make a donation through www.artfulaskers.com and PayPal so as to allow immediate access for us. Interested in being a Corporate Sponsor? Advertiser? Donor? Can you help with $100 to $1,000–Nothing is too big NOR too little! We are also incorporating as an independent 501 (c)(3) and will need advisors, Board Members, etc. Let me know if you are interested in serving.
5. I’m scheduling Fall 2007 and Winter 2008 workshops BUT because of medical needs of my family (see brief update below), I will only be traveling an abbreviated schedule. Call me if you are interested!
Please check out www.relationshipuniversity.org and call me. I need help to do this site correctly and have HUGE lasting impact. I need your help. This is a step of obedience for me and a culmination of my life’s work will be included among the many other things on the site as Free downloads. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME. Please help me if you can. AND Please make the decision to be a part of it and help me build an empowering, capacity-building electronic site that will serve the servants in meeting the needs in their communities.
May God richly bless you! Serving the servants together,
Bob Vickers
