Four-Phase Roadmap
Phase 1 funds the pilot, validates engagement, and gives Phase 2 donors clear evidence for a national launch.
Phase 1
Produce the pilot video, distribute it to 12+ CT and TN departments, gather structured feedback, and return a donor validation package.
Phase 2
Put the full conference online, launch the public platform, promote nationally, and begin engagement tracking.
Phase 3
Expand four-pillar content, build national partnerships, and add chaplaincy training videos.
Phase 4
Use the documentary, national TV campaign, and global English expansion to accelerate adoption.
