“When I returned from ministering overseas, John took me from having zero understanding of development/fundraising and taught me, corrected me, walked with me and guided me to become one of the most successful in our organization. John is first a listener, and then a strategist, a coach and (most importantly) a friend. But I’ve never met anyone in the development/fundraising world who can cut to the heart of a development-related situation more quickly than John does.”

“The coaching we receive from Lind & Associates allows us to grow the ministry far beyond what we planned for. We received a strategic plan that focused on the impact the ministry was making nationally and to be able to track progress, communicate it, and grow our donor base. John has not only been a coach to our ministry, but we have built a relationship that has connected us in bearing fruit for the kingdom together.”

“John models servant leadership and sees the big picture and most importantly seeks God’s heart and wisdom for challenges and opportunities set before him and his team. After working nearly 17 years in ministry and 15 years in for profit business I can say without any hesitation that John’s leadership style stands heads and shoulders above the tide of the status quo. His professionalism, character and desire to pursue excellence for our Lord has been a welcome pattern to follow.”

“Of all the leaders I’ve been privileged to work under in my career, no other has impacted me like John Lind. My abilities to lead my team of professionals with Adam Colwell’s WriteWorks were developed and nurtured under John’s mentorship. John also allowed me to utilize and grow my skill set at both Presidential Prayer Team and as a contract worker with Frontiers. If you make the wise decision to work with John or have him serve you or your organization, you will quickly discover John to be a priceless asset to you, your employees, and your constituents.”

“John is a gifted leader, truly understanding all that it takes to connect the mission and purpose of the organization with the hearts of those who have been called to provide the necessary financial support.

From an organizational perspective, John is adept at working collaboratively within, envisioning and implementing the processes and programs that increase the connectedness, and giving, of the ministry’s major supporters. He understands the big picture of major gift fund raising, and is skilled at tirelessly weaving the component pieces together for the benefit of both the giver and the ministry which he represents. He commonly raises the tide of the development team and contributes to their collective success through the fund raising tools and resources he puts in place.

From a personal perspective, John brings a contagious passion to his work. He is an effective communicator, inspiring those with whom he connects. John possesses a strong sense of calling and purpose for the work which he is privileged to do.”

“John is a strategic thinker, quick to learn, and dedicated to providing value for his clients. I’ve worked with John and have been impressed by his team work and desire for excellence.”

“I would recommend John Lind as an outstanding executive development consultant for any organization. John carries over 38 years of experience bringing senior leadership tools and insight on complex problems with sustainable solutions. What makes John unique is his ability to mentor and coach leaders in any setting, coming alongside them, and providing an alternative future for success.”
