The Fear That Stops Most Missionaries (And How To Beat It)

You know you need to build your support team. But every time you think about reaching out, your stomach tightens.

"What if they think I'm begging?"

"What if I'm bothering them?"

"What if they forgot about me?"

Here's what you need to know: The fear is lying to you.

The Lies Fear Tells

"You're bothering them." Actually, you're offering them a chance to invest in Kingdom work. Most people want this opportunity—they just don't know how.

"They won't remember you." If they wouldn't remember you, they wouldn't be on your list. The Three Cs filter ensures you're only reaching out to people who actually know you.

"You're begging." Begging asks someone to solve your problem. Inviting offers someone the privilege of joining God's mission. Massive difference.

What NetCasting Actually Is

NetCasting is faithfully identifying people God has already placed in your life and inviting them into what He's doing.

Remember what God told Paul in Corinth?

"Do not be afraid... for I have many people in this city." — Acts 18:9-10

God has many people in your network too. Already prepared. Your job is to find them.

The Obedience Shift

Stop viewing support raising as fundraising. Start viewing it as obedience.

God called you to ministry. Part of that calling includes inviting others to partner. When you reach out, you're not begging—you're being obedient.

Their response? That's between them and God.

Your job: Cast the net.
God's job: Provide the fish.

You Can Do This

The fear feels bigger than it is. The task feels harder than it is.

But here's the truth: God called you. God will provide. NetCasting is simply the faithful process of finding the supporters He already prepared.

You don't need to be fearless. You just need to be obedient.
