Increase the results of your end-of-year/start-of-year appeal letter by up to 30% with a short 120-word e-mail reminder. What to say?

After studying missionary income reports from many countries over many years, I notice that missionary support is highest in December and January.

Many mission-workers wait until December 15 to send a hurried appeal letter that is more need-driven than vision-driven. Take time now to draft your letter.

The 8 weeks between November 15 and January 15 (No-Cem-Uary!) offer a wonderful opportunity to increase your support. 

We all feel it. Prices are up. Why mail a paper newsletter (i.e. $$$) when email is free?

 As a “donor,” what has been your experience in receiving thank-you’s?

My friend hit the 80% glass ceiling! At 80% you can pay your bills—you can “get-by!” But 80% is not the same as full funding.

If you are emotionally drained, fundraising is overwhelming! Phoning a potential donor feels like climbing Mt Everest all alone. Your heart is right, but you are out of gas. The ducks are winning!

Though most believers are not joyless givers, they’re not joyful givers either. Their giving brings them the same joy as paying a parking fine.
