Three reasons to love asking people to give
Is your church preparing for your stewardship campaign? Remember this: When you provide leadership in stewardship at church, you do essential work. You help people connect their money and their faith. Both money and faith are part of everyday life, and bringing them together is one of the most vital connections in the spiritual life. It took me a long time to learn this lesson and to embrace this part of ministry.
You don’t need to be anxious or defensive about asking people to give. Nor do you need to dread it. In fact, it is possible to learn to love it.
Stewardship is a spiritual opportunity for you and for your people. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).
