MERRILLVILLE, Ind., Feb. 21, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Dr. Janell Harvey is an associate professor of business, author and founder of VOICE Ink (Visionaries Operating to Improve Christian Entrepreneurship), a tax-exempt consulting firm. Dr. Harvey recently published Historicity, Incorporation and Fund Development: A Broad Look at the Christian Faith-Based Sector. This book examines both the historical and current impact that Christian faith-based organizations have on society. Included in the book are the steps that individuals interested in establishing an NGO (non-governmental organization) must take in order to build the organization and garner funds. While there are numerous worthwhile faith-based organization's Dr. Harvey's book focuses specifically on the Christian faith.
Faith-based organizations address a myriad of needs in communities both domestic and abroad. Leaders, new to the field, often lack the strategies needed to successfully secure funds, file form 1023, audit their annual programmatic goals and hold their board of directors accountable. Through a process of understanding the historicity of the faith-based sector, establishing plans and learning the fundamentals of non-profit development, new leaders can position themselves to lead the charge towards establishing bona fide faith based organizations. This book is composed of those fundamental areas. In addition to such processes, the author also looks at the mission of Apostle Paul as he led a purpose driven life to establish churches in the Roman Empire and his commitment to the benevolent offering. Clearly, those working the field of Christian philanthropy can use Paul as a model figure as they seek to establish worthwhile causes that meet the needs of people universally.
Dr. Harvey is a graduate of Stephens College (bachelor of arts in marketing), Purdue University (master of arts in English) and Argosy University Chicago (doctor of business administration).
