DISCOVERY STEP 2 - provides a substantial start in the process. This services has been in place since April 2000 and has assisted over 5000 people through 2002. Organizations that have real opportunities are presented to those that enter a profile of themselves in this STEP. The fit of these organizations are ranked for you by a "percent" fit. Those with a higher percentage generally are indeed a better fit, according to individuals and mission agencies alike. This requires more work and networking on your part than STEP 3 to find a good fit. You will likely find several right answers. Pursue any one of them.
DISCOVERY STEP 3 - provides a definitive assurance of a fit. This includes a personal counselor plus testing to define your skills that transfer to ministry organizations. Here you discover energizing assignments that fit both your aptitudes and passions. You will be able to determine those opportunities that fit best among the full range of options available. There is a fee for STEP 3 paid directly to the professional service, not to the Finishers Project.
DISCOVERY STEP 4 - A free service as a result of completing STEP 3. With a definitive picture of your skills and passions (translated into terms that make sense to ministry as well as marketplace organizations) you will have a high degree of certainty you have a "best fit" for an assignment that you really enjoy — that really energizes you.
