Our fervent prayer is that this book will encourage you and give you practical tools for building a financially healthy church.
God bless,
Ben Harder and Michelle Harder

This book is for staff, lay leaders, volunteers and anyone who is interested or involved with resource development in a faith-based organization. It takes the principles of fundraising and applies them to faith-based organizations and churches in a holistic, proactive and biblically-appropriate way.

Probably the most cited challenge in churches these days is DECLINE. Decline in attendance, in volunteers, in involvement, and in finances. They’re all related, not just to each other, but at a deeper level, most often to a lack of vision. This theme is at the root of much of the content in this book.

Much of what has been learned in mainstream fundraising can be incorporated alongside your existing stewardship strategies in a meaningful and biblical way. Do it right and you will increase involvement, engagement, and additional revenue for ministry.
