Fundraising in ministry is often seen as a necessary evil. But as John R. Frank says in this training tool, fundraising at its best is "involving God's people in God's work." Plus, it should remind us that we rely on God in all of our ministry.
We need the right perspective for fundraising, but sometimes we could also use a creative spark. The articles in this 20-page resource are designed to give you both—some perspective and a lot of ideas. Use them to involve more of God's people in His work.
NOTE: You have permission to make up to 1,000 copies of this resource to be distributed in a church or educational setting.
