Setting God as the source of you fund raising project the following are ideas to help you raise money for projects in your ministry. Have fund raising banquets. While money is raised from the meal focus on building community in your church or ministry family. Community is what the first century church thrived from. The relationships that are built during times like this are evident during prayer vigils where there is a unity of heart and when individuals need prayer ministry time. Teach on the Biblical principles of tithing. Share how tithing brings about a deeper relationship with God and how the blessing of God follows those who tithe. While this will increase giving in your church in a long term fashion it will help your members grow in the Lord. You will watch the blessing of God increase on your ministry when the congregation tithes. When teaching on finances have the focus being the relationship the Lord has to offer in a deeper, more intimate way. Have the Holy Spirit set the budget for your ministry. Use prayer to seek the face of God for vision and direction and Godly planning to delegate your resources --- both finances and people. |
