We recently have been researching moving into a new market. So, I reached out to another faith at work ministry in that community to discuss collaborating rather than competing.
One of their leaders began offering ideas on how they might partner with us. The true sign of his heart, however, was when he offered to introduce us to their biggest donor and encourage them to support our efforts as well!
Proverbs 25:21 teaches, “If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.”
It may be unconventional, but instead of having a scarcity mindset with your competitors, consider ways you might help them.
