LEAD ARTICLE: "7 Step Plan to
Increase Giving 10-50% with the
40 Day Booklet"
|
| |
After field testing the 40 Day
booklet in 20 churches and 5000
households, some key lessons
have been learned on how to
successfully use a 40 Day
emphasis to increase giving
10-50%! The importance of
leadership support, giving
testimonies, group questions,
mailing to every household, etc.
can make the difference between
minimal returns or wonderful
increases in giving.

CONTROVERSIAL QUESTION: Should
Pastors Know How Much People
Give?
|
| |
In the non-profit world, every
CEO is kept abreast of people's
giving. But it is a VERY
different story in the church
world. In conducting
training seminars on church
giving for thousands of
pastors and church leaders, I
have discovered that one of the
most controversial questions a
church can try to address is:
"Should the pastor know what
people give?" In this article, I
suggest this is the WRONG
QUESTION for a pastor and church
leaders to ask. Take a look at
what I think the RIGHT QUESTION
is that EVERY church needs to
effectively answer.

E-BOOK: "Guide to Increase
Church Giving for Pastors &

The fall of the year is a
strategic time in the annual
teaching cycle of churches to
encourage generous giving. For
this reason, I am again
including a dowload link to the
e-book "Guide to Increase Church
Giving". This e-book explains
why and how churches can teach
their people to be more
generous. |

Brian's Speaking Ministry for
"Generosity Impact Weekends"
|
| |
As a full-time pastor, I am only
able to accept a limited number
of guest generosity preaching
and seminar invitations each
year. At this point, I am
booking into 2007 and 2008.
Check out
THIS LINK if you are a
larger church or a
denominational group that might
have an interest in inviting me
for a "Generosity
Impact Weekend" in 2007
or 2008.
For national or
regional/state denominational
offices, I am also available
to conduct evening phone
seminars/webinars on "Church
Giving Seminar for Pastors and
Church Leaders". The value
of this type of training is that
there is no travel time or
expenses required for anyone
involved - - so you can more
easily and more affordably reach
a much larger audience of
pastors and church leaders
across a region or across the
country. |

FUNDRAISING Article: 300 Ideas
for Effective Fundraising Appeal
Letters
|
| |
If you are with a non-profit
Christian organization or
ministry, you realize the need
for having to write fundraising
appeal letters. While a church
just has to pass the offering
plate each week, a non-profit
organization has to communicate
their needs in person and in
writing. Mal Warwick, a direct
mail fundraising expert, gives
you some great help on how to be
more effective in writing
fundraising letters.
