Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The stories you will hear on our website are real and honest. We believe that the telling of those stories is healing. Healing for the storyteller and healing for many listeners, as well. A God Story is about how our Father intervened, interrupted, interceded, or simply changed our story. An Altered Story.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Altered Stories Ministry founder, Mischelle Saunders Gottsch, is the host of each podcast. She has a unique talent for helping women tell their stories. This is mostly due to her own experiences and her own altered story. Mischelle has a strong background in leadership and marketing. She uses those talents to gain trust and promote the episodes, Altered Stories has a strong board that also supports and promotes the ministry as well.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The professional backgrounds of the Founder and Board members provide different talents and bring high levels of expertise in key areas that will enable Altered Stories to accomplish its mission. Altered Stories has also contracted with very capable producers and editors so each podcast gives the listener a great experience and allows the storyteller to have confidence her story will be presented in the best way possible.
With a growing audience, and continued marketing and exposure, ASM is confident the financial resources will also become available so more listeners can hear the stories and more lives are changed, altered.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
