Identifying prospective donors including individuals, churches, foundations and affiliated organisations and cultivate positive relationships. Achieving agreed income targets for the region. Working with the OCA national office staff on promotional events and with our existing group of volunteers. As the ministry grows it may involve supervising staff.
