SAVE

Ministry Discernment Process

Helping business leaders steward generosity wisely by prayerfully discerning ministries and their leadership.

SAVE exists to serve both Kingdom-minded business leaders and faithful nonprofit leaders by creating clarity, trust, and alignment.

Before financial partnership or public endorsement, SAVE walks ministries through a prayerful discernment process focused on leadership integrity, doctrine, stewardship, and fruit.

This page outlines the two steps in that process and provides the appropriate intake links.

the process

Ministry Inquiry (Initial Alignment)

This short inquiry helps SAVE understand your leadership, mission, and spiritual alignment at a high level.

It should take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete.

Use this form if:

  • You are exploring a relationship with SAVE

  • You want to be considered for future partnership

  • You are open to prayerful discernment and accountability

Submitting this form does not guarantee partnership or funding.

Step 1

Deep Vetting Intake (By Invitation)

The Deep Vetting Intake is the second step in SAVE’s discernment process and is completed by invitation only after review of the initial inquiry.

This intake goes deeper into leadership patterns, governance, stewardship, operational health, and Kingdom fruit. Most leaders spend 1-2 Days completing this form.

You should only complete this intake if:

  • You have been invited by SAVE

  • You are prepared for transparent, prayerful review

  • You are open to conversation and refinement

This intake is reviewed confidentially and prayerfully by the SAVE team.

step 2

After submission, SAVE will:

  • Review responses prayerfully

  • Conduct follow-up conversations and interviews as needed

  • Plan an onsite visit to meet the leadership team

  • Discern alignment and readiness

  • Communicate next steps clearly and respectfully

SAVE may:

  • Invite further partnership

  • Recommend a season of development

  • Or pause the process at this time

Each outcome is handled with honor and clarity.

USA Missionaries Testimonial

Partnering with SAVE has been a gift to our ministry.

From the beginning, SAVE demonstrated that trust is something to be earned, leadership must be healthy, and fruit must be lasting. Their process was never about judgment, but about care, care for leaders, care for donors, and care for the integrity of the mission God has entrusted to us.

Through SAVE, USA Missionaries has been connected with Kingdom-minded business leaders and fellow ministry leaders who share a heart for stewarding resources well and advancing the Gospel with faithfulness and accountability. Those relationships have strengthened our mission and expanded our impact in ways we could not have done alone.

We are grateful for SAVE’s commitment to protecting leaders, protecting donors, strengthening ministries, and ultimately honoring Jesus Christ in every partnership. Walking this road alongside SAVE has been marked by humility, prayer, and a shared desire to see lasting Kingdom fruit.
