You Are Free To

Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format.

Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, with the conditions below.

The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.

Under the Following Terms

Attribution

You must give appropriate credit to Flame of Provision Ministries as the original author of the curriculum, provide a link back to this site (or the underlying repository), and indicate if changes were made to the material. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests Flame of Provision Ministries endorses you or your use.

Suggested attribution text:

"Service Preparation Workshop" curriculum © Flame of Provision Ministries — used under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Original at [the curriculum site URL]. [Adapted from the original / Used unchanged].

NonCommercial

You may not use the material for primarily commercial purposes. This means: you may not sell the curriculum, charge a fee for accessing it as a standalone product, or include it in a commercial training program that bundles it for profit.

Honoraria, voluntary donations to support a church or ministry that runs the workshop, and modest material-cost reimbursement (printing, room rental, snacks) are not considered commercial use. Charging tuition for a workshop where this curriculum is the primary deliverable would be.

ShareAlike

If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).

No Additional Restrictions

You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

Notices

You do not have to comply with the license for elements of the material in the public domain or where your use is permitted by an applicable exception or limitation.

No warranties are given. The license may not give you all of the permissions necessary for your intended use. For example, other rights such as publicity, privacy, or moral rights may limit how you use the material.

Why This License?

The Flame of Provision team chose CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 because it reflects three values:

  1. The curriculum should be freely accessible to any church, ministry, or believer — not behind a paywall, not gatekept by denominational affiliation, not restricted by cost.

  2. Attribution honors the work that went into it — including the prayer, study, and ministry experience that shaped the curriculum's content. Other leaders who pick it up should know its origin so they can engage with the source ministry if they wish.

  3. Adaptations should remain free for the next user — if a leader in Ghana, Brazil, or Korea translates and adapts the curriculum, the next leader who finds that adaptation should be able to use and adapt it on the same terms. The ShareAlike clause keeps the work in the commons.

Questions About Use

If your intended use does not fit cleanly into the license terms — for example, if you are a denominational publishing house considering whether to include this material in a paid resource, or a parachurch ministry considering whether your use crosses the commercial line — please reach out at the email on the About page. We are happy to discuss specific cases.
