David Doyle - Missing Man Ministry

I loved meeting David and learning about this wonderful ministry. If he and his wife lived closer, I just know we'd be friends! I hope you enjoy his story. Thanks for reading, Pam

In 2020, our mission as an organization is to grow………..slowly and methodically, with SOP’s (Standard Operating Procedures) in place. We have strong interest to form or expand into Brentwood. We also have several people interested in forming a group in Walnut Creek.  “the need is great!”.

Fundraiser. We are exploring options for the 2020 venue as we have outgrown our venue of the last three years!  Yea! We hope to find a location in the Livermore area and will definitely keep you apprised of the date and location, once we have that established.

We will continue to grow the internal organization too, as we add case managers, vendor partners, counselors, tools and practices.  All of this to be more efficient and flexible, to meet the need(s).

Community Outreach. With SOP’s and our database in place, we hope to have more community outreach, including partnerships or alliances with other non-profits. Together we can be even stronger and more supportive, to again serve more people.

Again thank you for your support.  Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Also, please contact us via our website (www.missingmanministry.org) if you wish to donate or volunteer your services.

As we near the end of 2019, I wanted to share a few facts and figures about our progress thus far.

In January of this year, I was elected President of Missing Man Ministry (M3). As I’ve said many times, M3 is personal to me. My father died when I was 15 yrs old, so I saw firsthand what that situation was like. My wife, Anita, lost her father when she was 11 yrs. Old.  So again………M3 is personal.

My first two priorities as President were to: 1. Establish the date of the 2019 annual fundraiser; and 2. Start, setup and use a database for M3 clients, supporters and volunteers. Missions accomplished!

1. Fundraiser. Our fundraiser was held on October 6. It was the first time our event was sold out, as we had over 200 people in attendance.  It was quite a night!  And we raised over $50k, including $13.5k for college scholarships, for those young adults who have experienced the loss of their father.  
2. Database. With major assistance from Caleb Davis’(Advisory Board), Donald Hansen (i.t. professional) and Matt Jessick (i.t. professional), we built and used our first-ever database.  It’s not perfect, but it is working very well…………and has nearly 500 names in it!!!!!!!  It is making our communication much more efficient and effective.  
   
   

We have assisted twenty-six (26) widow clients here in the Trivalley so far this year. What a feeling it is to be able to help these women!
