Thanks Jack! There is often a tight connection between churches and traditional charity models which can be hard to crack. Some of the big NGOs they are often closely connected have a christian heritage, like World Vision, Tear Fund and Feed the Hungry. Unfortnately in my opinion these are some of the lowest value, inefficient NGOs around.
Often churches also have their own giving systems through their church which might make them hesitant to invite others in, especially when the others aren’t religious. Conferences and meetings would be the forum for it, not services I would think. Still I think it could be doable. No point in whispering about organisation of pastors. Often they are actually very stretched and get a LOT of e-mails though.
I’m afraid I’m not in a great position to help you. I’ve lived in Uganda for 10 years managing healthcare running a social enterprise, so am completely useless for helping with Western Churches.
