China Institute Funding Opportunities
Updated on November 9, 2008
- Ongoing operational expenses for the rest of 2008: $6,000
- Administrative Assistance in 2008: $300
- Web site development and maintenance in 2008: $1,200
Our Webmaster designed and built the China Institute site (www.chinainst.org) for free. But he has limited time and ongoing financial needs as a new father and full-time Mandarin Chinese language student in Taiwan. If we could pay him $100 a month for site maintenance and growth, it would enable him to spend more time on this important ministry. - Travel for Executive Director: $1,200
G. Wright Doyle, our Executive Director, must travel to meetings and conferences in order to fulfill his responsibilities. These trips entail transportation, lodging, and meal costs.
- Promotion of a book on Jesus: The Complete Man: $1,200
This book is meant to address the urgent need in the Chinese church for more mature men.One of our supporting churches has paid for the initial publication of this book but do not have funds for the marketing that will be necessary for its wide distribution.
We have discovered that without advertisement, it is hard to let people know of the existence of a book which they might really find useful. The Ideal Man According to Christ and Confucius, already published and well received in Chinese, is scheduled to come out in English by early 2008. It would have a much greater impact upon Chinese who read English (who number in the millions), and upon non-Chinese readers, if there was a suitable marketing program available upon publication.
- Promotion of The Lord’s Healing Words: $1,200
This volume was published in the summer of 2006 (www.authorhouse.com), but has not sold well because of lack of funds for marketing. A Chinese version is scheduled to be published in the middle of 2008.Our Chinese publishers have told us that it is much better for a book to be well known in its English form before being published in Chinese, because Chinese readers tend to respect the reading tastes of English readers.If this book – which has received very enthusiastic comments from those who have read it – could be more widely distributed in English before the Chinese edition appears, it would probably have a very positive impact on potential Chinese readers.
- Capital expenses: $1,500
Our main computer and our fax machine are showing signs of age and must be replaced in 2007. (The monitor screen went black as I typed this sentence.)
Please feel free to write or call us for further information about any of these projects and needs.
