God: Either You Trust Him Or You Don’t.
So I’m still working out the details, but the plan is to allow those who are interested to invest in Mills Creative Minds, with a ratio of 1% per $1,000 given. (Or .5% for $500, .1 / $100, etc.) This would be for the life of the company. As in, for every dollar that’s paid to me, 50 cents will go toward churches & charities, with another 20 cents set aside for discretionary giving. The other 30 cents is what I would profit myself, and it’s off of this 30% that investors would be paid.
I’ll be working out the details in the few weeks, but if anyone’s interested or feels called to do this, just drop me an e-mail (kevin @ millscreativeminds .com – no spaces). The only requirement that I know I’ll have from the outset is that you’re willing to pray. Not only for the company and for specific licensing deals & partnerships, but also for Ray & Laura Pittman. They’re the primary reason I started down this road, and having extra prayer support is vital to their accomplishing what God’s called them to do.
To be honest, the idea of investors made me quite uncomfortable at first. Not that I don’t want to share the money. I LOVE sharing, as most of you know. But just working through the logistics of it all, going about it wisely, etc. So last month I was praying one night, basically looking for an out. “God,” I said, “If You REALLY want me to open Mills Creative Minds up to investors, then You’re going to have to make it absolutely, positively clear. Give me a sign this next week, an irrefutable sign, so I’ll know this is straight from YOU and not just my mind playing tricks on me.”
The next day someone sent me $1,000.
Unsolicited. Before I even opened it up for investors.
So, yeah. God can be pretty clear when He wants you to do something. And He is absolutely trustworthy when you know He’s called you to do something. There’s no need to freak out anymore. Just pursue Him, listen to His whispers, and obey what He calls you to do.
And then make the choice to TRUST HIM. It’s not a feeling or wishful thinking: it’s a choice. No matter how things look or what it seems is going to happen (or NOT happen), make a decision today to have a stubborn faith and Trust Him.
Because God’s worthy of your trust.

Habakkuk 3:17-19
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.
