A ministry leader was exasperated with fundraising and said humbly (but sadly), “I guess we will have to do more with less.” A friend, Lauren Libby, President of Transworld Radio, heard the comment and said, “How about doing more with more?”

When January 1 rolls around, I sometimes find myself demotivated in funding. I moan, “My budget has increased. How will I ever find enough money for the next 12 months?” I call it the January Funding Blues. 

Sadly, many missionary newsletters today are filled with descriptions of activities, conferences attended or projects worked on—okay, but can you also answer the two questions?

In the male-dominated Jewish culture, what caused these women to show up at a post-resurrection prayer meeting with Jesus’ male disciples? Who were they? We find them a few days earlier at Jesus’ crucifixion.

Most giving partners do not automatically increase their support every couple years. Asking giving partners to upgrade is just as time-consuming as going after new donors.

I have a giving partner who gave faithfully every month, but I have not received a gift in six months.

Do you have a standard letter I could send asking him to re-start?

On the way to my office this morning I got a phone call from a medical missionary headed to Asia. He asked a great question…

Jesus spoke about tithing, but only twice. Does He teach tithing as the standard? Let’s look at the two passages.

Many believers feel guilty about their giving. They assume the tithe (ten percent) is the gold standard, and they try to work themselves up to that, but they often fail. Research concludes American churchgoers give 3-5 percent of their income.
