BRINGING ALMOST 50 YEARS OF FINANCIAL WISDOM TO CHUCHES AROUND THE WORLD

In 2012, Ron founded the Ron Blue Institute to expand biblical financial wisdom into universities, through professional leaders, and across the church. Today, he continues to serve as Founder and Ambassador, helping equip the next generation to steward God’s resources with contentment, clarity, and confidence.

Ron’s vision for Financial Wisdom Ministry is brilliant and every church around the world needs it.

– Rick Warren

“This vision is the culmination of everything I have learned over the past fifty years of teaching biblical financial wisdom; however, there is still one dream that burns within me … and that is to see the local church become the center of financial wisdom because if it does, it could help fuel and fund the Great Commission.

OUR FOUR CORE COMMITMENTS

The reach of Ron Blue Institute is significant. For over a decade, Ron Blue Institute has partnered with 15 colleges and universities, the Association of Christian Schools International, and Christian financial professionals with student curricula, programs, and resources.

1. EDUCATION: 2. EQUIPPING: 3. EMPOWERMENT: 4. ENGAGEMENT:

Developing and delivering comprehensive courses on biblical financial stewardship. Providing practical tools and resources such as budgeting tools and financial discipleship curriculum. Offering coaching, mentoring, and consulting services to support individuals and organizations.

This span of impact is intentional to walk alongside and equip Christ followers with biblical financial wisdom, from their early adult years throughout their lifespan. Because discipleship is a journey and not a destination, we know an increasing variety of resources and partnerships will be needed along the way.

Building a community of learners and practitioners committed to biblical financial stewardship through events, discussions, and networks.

OURREACHANDIMPACT

In 2023, Ron Blue Institute launched a pilot initiative with 10 flagship churches, numerous stewardship ministry subject matter experts, three different denominational groups, and select stewardship and generosity partners to collaboratively create, develop, and test biblical financial wisdom resources and prototype strategies for a comprehensive financial wisdom ministry in a local church.

From the pilot initiative churches and denominations alone, the current potential influence is to 2,700 churches.

While the vision is large, the need is greater. If we don’t step into the gap of financial discipleship, leading people with biblical principles, the world will continue to fill that gap.

OURSOLUTION

One organization or church cannot bridge the cultural gap between God and finances alone. That’s why, with your partnership, we believe we are uniquely positioned to create and innovate resources that can equip church partners, around the country and the globe, to change the financial discipleship conversation from transactional to transformational.

ACOMPREHENSIVEMINISTRYFOREVERY STAGEOFLIFE

While there are a few Christian organizations that have worked to bring some resources to help disciple individuals and various groups of people in their stewardship journeys. Ron Blue Institute envisions creating a comprehensive ministry that engages Christians with biblical financial wisdom across the lifespan, at any level of financial health and strength, and through key life events. (To view the full comprehensive ministry concept map, see Appendix A & B).

ANECOSYSTEMOFSTRATEGICPARTNERS

In addition, we are working to build an ecosystem of premier stewardship, generosity, and financial planning partners to augment and amplify this ministry in local churches, so that Christians across the United States would look to their church as a center of financial wisdom. Each of these partners would provide additional financial wisdom and expertise for key elements of a thriving holistic financial wisdom ministry.

WiHopefully, you can see how God has given us a Kingdom-sized vision beyond what any one of us could do alone. We are currently praying for God to open the hearts of a few faithful friends who have benefited from the ministry over the years.

And while you may not be in a position to help us at this time, we appreciate any introductions to a family or business who might share the vision of bringing biblical financial discipleship to the local church.

As you could see, the timing is critical to bring all the pieces and partners together. We are in a very heavy season of production, publishing, and product release. Your prayerful consideration alone would be a gift.

Either way, your continued prayers and support for this final frontier in Ron’ personal ministry and the Ron Blue Institute is deeply appreciated.
