3. What is at the heart of an effective fundraiser?

4. A Spirituality of Fundraising
“If we come back from asking someone for money and we feel exhausted and somehow tainted by unspiritual activity, there is something wrong.
We must not let ourselves be tricked into thinking that fundraising is only a secular activity. As a form of ministry, fundraising is as spiritual as giving a sermon, entering a time of prayer, visiting the sick, or feeding the hungry.
So fundraising has to help us with our conversion too. Are we willing to be converted from our fear of asking? When we have gained the freedom to ask without fear, to love fundraising as a form on ministry, then fundraising will be good for our spiritual life.”
Henri J. M. Nouwen

5. As we fix our eyes on Jesus at the center of our fundraising –
He casts out all fear.
