  • A dedicated pastoral care team who ministers to individuals all over the world seeking prayer and guidance after encountering our content
  • An administrative support team to handle logistics, scheduling and social media 
  • Travel and event expenses not covered that allow us to speak and spread the message of heaven at churches, conferences, and outreach events. (John Burke also gives his speaking honorariums directly to Imagine Heaven Ministries.)
