Starting Strong: How to Build Momentum with Your First 200 Contacts
The first 200 names you write are the foundation of your support journey. Think of this phase like building your base camp before climbing the mountain.
Start with your inner circle, family, close friends, mentors, church leaders, classmates, teammates, and coworkers. These are your “Top 25,” the people who already believe in you and your calling. From there, branch out.
How to Build Momentum:
Set a goal: 40 names a day for 5 days.
Use your phone, email, and social media to jog your memory.
Think in categories: family, school, church, work, and community.
Don’t get stuck worrying about who will give. Your goal right now is completeness, not commitment.
Celebrate every new name; it’s evidence of God’s provision already forming around you.
By the time you hit 200, you’ll see patterns emerging, circles of influence, and hidden connections you didn’t even realize were there.
Keep praying, keep listing, and keep trusting that God will fill your net in His time.
