FundraisingFundraising may be the most resisted of all functions of church leadership and the most dreaded responsibility of church leaders, clergy and laity alike.
We are fashioned in the image of the Giver of life, and nothing proves this more dramatically and repeatedly than the glow of fulfillment that accompanies every act of generosity.
