The last three weeks we have been privileged to participate in a webinar course on Biblical fund-raising offered by One Mission Society, and taught by Patty Collins. During the course of the three weeks, we've had to closely examine our attitudes on fund-raising (something that was extremely uncomfortable), learning to replace them with what the Bible says about fund-raising. We've learned how to craft stories to tell during our face-to-face appointments and have had the opportunity to practice these stories with the purpose of gaining confidence in our funding. Today we will also meet our coach who will discuss with us (via internet) each week our progress in making contacts and scheduling meetings. He or she will hold us accountable and answer any questions we have regarding the process. We are very blessed and thankful we've had this opportunity. Our only regret is that it didn't come sooner!
Please pray with us as we begin to prepare a list of individuals to call. We know that the Lord has already provided the needed funds--He's already appointed individuals who will partner with us financially. Help us begin to pray for them now. Thank you so much for lifting us up in prayers--they help us more than you can possibly know!
