Strategy of KingdomCome Mission
KingdomCome will accomplish its mission through strategic funding and involvement in . . .

Private Funding
KingdomCome will avoid devoting time and energy into the cultivation and management of donor-based funding resources. While outside funding for Kingdom initiatives will be accepted when offered, our funding model primarily relies on resources provided from family business and investment activities. As the beneficiary of these private financial resources, we will have the freedom to be responsibly creative and innovative in the deployment of these assets for the Kingdom of God.
Ambassador Development
Rather than just providing funding to various Kingdom ministries "directly from headquarters," whenever possible we will seek to channel this funding through the hands of selected individuals who will be personally involved in project selection, planning and funding. We will also train and recognize selected candidates that will be engaged in the management of KingdomCome-approved funding initiatives. After being tested and proven in our philanthropy laboratory program, these individuals will be empowered with financial resources and encouraged to function independently as Kingdom philanthropists for the advancement of God's kingdom here on earth.
Education
KingdomCome will develop and assemble curriculum content that can be used to instruct current and potential Kingdom Ambassadors with a greater understanding of the "good news of the Kingdom" and how that message can be most effectively communicated to a world that desperately needs to hear it. Our educational effort will target children, youth and adults and be conducted via:

Mountains of Cultural Influence
KingdomCome deploys available resources in support of ministries engaged in fighting evil forces, in the heavenly realm and here on earth. We recognize that both the Redeemer and the Enemy are interested in more than just citizenship in their respective kingdoms—that dominion of the earthly realm is strategically important to each. Therefore, we will engage in this cosmic struggle: with Christ for the redemption of people God loves, and against the Enemy for the redemption of the world the Enemy wants to dominate. For the glory of God, we will disciple nations by engaging on battlefields within the following seven mountains of cultural influence:
Religion Mountain
Religion is the belief in and worship of a higher power, either God or some other supernatural force. The belief of any group of people provides the cultural framework for their society. It is on the religion mountain where people choose to worship God in spirit and in truth or settle for religious ritual. Family Mountain The family is the fundamental place where individuals begin to learn, establish their identities, learn to love and develop to maturity. It is on the family mountain where either blessings or curses are passed on to successive generations. Education Mountain Education encompasses all structured education, both public and private, and involves acquiring and passing on knowledge, skills and values from generation to generation. It is on the education mountain where truth or lies are taught about God, his creation, man and everything else. Government Mountain Government includes all structures that govern or rule bodies of people. It attempts to establish conformity through rules, laws and regulations for the benefit of the community. It is on the government mountain where evil is either restrained or endorsed. Media Mountain Media encompasses mass communication of news, opinion, information and advertising messages through many mediums such as print, radio, television, internet and mobile devises. It is on the media mountain where information is interpreted through the lens of good or evil. Arts & Entertainment Mountain This cultural sphere includes all arts, entertainment, sports, movies, theater, music, fashion, games and all matters that entertain or amuse us. It is on the arts and entertainment mountain where values and virtues are either celebrated or distorted. Business Mountain Economy involves businesses created to manage production, distribution and consumption of community resources, goods and services and to trade those commodities. It is on the business mountain where people build for the glory of God or for the glory of man. Credit to Bronwyn O'Brien and to Stephanie Luck
