The “Who” Behind Dep-U
Before diving into the tactical lists and scheduling strategies, it’s critical to understand why we developed this system. In this intro video, I share my personal background on deputation—how we experienced rapid early progress, identified the exact process that got us to the field, and built a repeatable framework for other missionaries to follow.

You’re Probably Not Using IFBMT Correctly
Many missionaries fail on deputation not from a lack of support, but from a complete collapse of organization. In this lesson, we address the critical mistake of misusing platform management systems like IFBMT and demonstrate how to turn your software into an active scheduling engine rather than a passive address book.

Why Bulk Emailing is Not the Right Strategy
Many missionaries rely on bulk emails as a primary scheduling strategy, but mass mailers often hurt deliverability, damage sender reputation, and generate lower quality booked meetings. In this lesson, we break down why bulk email fails as a deputation tool and why switching to high-touch, direct contact is essential for building real pastoral relationships.

Your Biggest Problem on Deputation
Most missionaries operate completely in the dark without tracking their basic operational metrics. We cover the essential numbers every missionary must know—from call-to-answer ratios to booked-meeting conversion rates—so you can project your timeline accurately, identify weak spots in your strategy, and maintain full control of your path to the field.

The System (double feature)
Most missionaries stall out six months into deputation because they run out of personal contacts. In this lesson, we break down the A-through-E List System—a simple, systematic framework designed to turn a short list of personal connections into a sustainable engine of ongoing pastoral referrals.

Scheduling Anchors and Strategy
Crisscrossing the country for single meetings wastes valuable time and financial resources. This video explains how to establish a strategic geographic home base and lock in regional "anchor meetings" to build efficient, continuous travel loops.

Do’s and Don’t When Contacting Churches
Successfully booking meetings requires knowing both what to do and what to avoid when making initial contact with churches. In this lesson, we break down the practical do’s and don’ts of direct outreach, focusing on phone etiquette, momentum management, and proper follow-up protocols that turn initial contacts into confirmed calendar dates.
