Partnership vs. Fundraising
February 6th, 2007
One day at language school, while on a break, I overheard two missionaries discussing their dissatisfaction with visiting churches in the United States. They hated fundraising. They didn’t want to visit churches and ask people for money. After several minutes of overhearing their complaints I walked away shaking my head thinking they were missing the whole point.
Of course missionaries need to raise funds. We can’t serve as missionaries without raising funds. But if this becomes the focus of our relationship with our senders our ministries will, in the end, not succeed.
What we seek is partnership. We are seeking people who are passionate about seeking and saving the lost. We are searching people who want to invest time, money and energy into reaching the unsaved in Southeast Asia. We are looking for people who’s hearts break for the people of Thailand.
If you are already partners - Thank you! If you want to know more about how you can partner with us, please write to me.
