Ministry Plan Part VI: Ownership Information

Ownership Information

Christian Life Academy will fall under the ownership of Global Outreach Mission, a not-for-profit organization based in Buffalo, NY and Ontario, Canada.  Although Global Outreach Mission will have ownership of the school, the pastors of Christian Life Church will act as proprietors, with the Rector having full responsibility for the administration of the school.  The pastors will have the ultimate authority in any hiring decisions, or decisions that affect the mission and vision of the school.  Their overall involvement, though, will be minimal in the day-to-day operations of the school.  The school will be funded through donations that will be managed by an accountant and administered by both the principal and the rector.  Donating money, goods, or time to the school in no way will be considered ownership in the school.  While donors’ comments and suggestions are welcome, they will have no authority in the decision-making of the school, nor should they consider themselves entitled to a say in administrative decisions.  Donors and sponsors are asked to trust the pastors, school administration, and board of directors to seek the Lord when making decisions they feel are in the best interest for the students, staff, and church body. All donors and sponsors are encouraged to pray regularly for the pastors, the school administration, and the entire staff, thus making the most important contribution to the functioning of the school.


The next section of the ministry plan describes the positions needed at the school including a complete description of each position along with the primary duties, responsibilities, and authority, as well as the education requirements, and any unique experiences and special skills needed to fill the position.  They also include the compensation basis and levels according to the labor laws of Honduras.  I will not include those pages in this blog, but if anyone is interested in those sections, let me know and I will send them to you privately.  The positions at the school will not be filled until a property has been identified, and funds have been raised for the first phase of the school.  All positions must be filled and submitted to the Department of Education no less than 6 months prior to the opening of the school.
