How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
How do you raise support? One dollar at a time.
Would God want something to happen, but then not provide for it?
Fundraising has a rotten reputation of being a necessary evil when the truth is that it is a very vital part of a missions ministry.
There are great multitudes of people that want to reach out to the lost but are not able to go so we must be their hands and feet; all part of the same body.
When something is worthwhile, is it worth investing in?
Is the Great Commission something that's worth investing in?
Why not raise money for something like that?
We are giving people an opportunity to invest in something that God is doing and He has called us to involve others in a partnership. It is the greatest thing that a person could ever give to.
God already knows who will provide the funds.
He has called them to their place just as He has called us. When you ask for support and the answer is no, you are not being rejected.
This is not about if you are worthy.
God has not called everyone to provide support. And don't be fooled by the cover of the book! Everyone deserves the opportunity to be a part of God's awesome plan and be blessed as you will be blessed.
Embrace fundraising for your mission trip with all the delight and vigor that a peewee team has when they raise money for their trip to the World Series.
And be creative!
God is, just look at the platypus!
