Are your congregation and its officers tired of doing the same old things to raise funds for the churchas ministries and getting the same old results? What you need is a whole new way of thinking and talking about how the church funds ministry. The author rejects the old approach of fund-raising with its focus on the need of the church to receive and, instead, details a new paradigm that focuses on the Christianas need to give. Learn a new language of giving based on different assumptions. A atheology of abundancea is contrasted with a atheology of scarcity.a A chapter tells how to help church members grow in their giving. Useful tools such as a funding ministry audit and a sermon on funding ministry are included. Discussion questions follow each chapter.
