The Heart Behind Every Effort.
Most people see a website or a flyer as a digital chore. I see them as tools for stewardship. My name is James St Clair, and I founded Make Every Effort on a simple biblical principle found in 2 Peter 1:5: “Make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge...”
I believe that excellence in our work is a form of worship. Whether I am managing an executive’s calendar, editing a website, or designing a flyer, I am committed to the "Every Effort" standard of diligence.
Business with a Higher Calling.
In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul was a "tentmaker." He used his trade to fund his mission so he could serve others without being a burden. Make Every Effort follows that same blueprint.
We operate as a Social Enterprise. This means that when you hire me for strategic digital support/design or coaching, you aren't just checking a task off your list—you are directly fueling a ministry. The profits from this business allow us to provide free and low cost mentorship and resources to men in our community, helping them grow into the leaders, fathers, and husbands God called them to be.
Professional Service. Personal Mission.
Diligence: We provide a 24–48 hour turnaround on digital tasks because we value your time and your mission.
Order: God is not a God of confusion. We bring systems and clarity to your digital chaos so you can lead with peace.
Discipleship: We don't just build websites; we build men. Our ultimate goal is to see a generation of men making every effort to live for Christ.
Our Three Pillars of Stewardship.
With a diverse background in pastoral ministry, database management, and retail,I’ve spent years seeing how "digital friction" can slow down great leaders. I launched this agency to be the "Armor Bearer" for mission-driven individuals.
When I’m not behind the screen, you’ll find me encouraging men, studying the Word, and other great books, or spending time with friends and supporting my kids in their various passions.
I believe that every man was created with a God-given mission and find great meaning and joy in doing what I can to help their dreams come to life. Whether that is being a sounding board, helping them through a rough patch, or just helping them execute tedious tasks with a high level of quality, I am fueled by helping men discover their calling and identity, starting with their identity as image bearers of Jesus Christ.
