What do we do if ministers, Board members, and congregants have fears about conducting a fundraising or growth program?
Tell them to have faith. “. . . For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 To grow or raise money, your congregation will need to take action. When everyone is actively involved in growing your church and begins to experience the results of their actions, fear is replaced with faith. The amount of action each member takes is not important. What is important is that everyone takes at least one action. The action may only take one hour in a year, or it may be a weekly role. Just as the smallest mustard seed of faith will move mountains, so a mustard seed of action will make nothing impossible for your church.
