Book excerpt: Money does not have to be the hardest thing you do at church. There is an alternative to nonstop fundraising, convincing people to give more--or simply cutting the budget. This approach lets you discover what you bring to church finances that you already have, rather than simply teaching you the latest fundraising technique. Learn how you can: become more thoughtful about the financial challenges you and your church face; see money--and your own leadership strategies-- from a different perspective; bring more calm and creativity to recurring and unexpected problems in funding ministry; concentrate on long-term ministry goals and strategic persistence to get financial support for those goals; focus on yourself and what you can impact directly rather than trying harder to convince others to give more or make different financial decisions; enjoy the stewardship process rather than dreading it each year; reduce your overall stress about church finance,

It's not that we don't realize that tithing and giving are biblical issues: God's Word is full of strong statements about the stewardship of money. But how does a pastor convey God's heart for stewardship? Literally, what's the best way to raise the money your church needs to survive? Obviously, God is the one who builds the church-He is the ultimate provider. But what's the best process of shepherding the funds He has for your church? This step-by-step guide will give you tools you need to raise funds in your church-scripturally and successfully-without compromising biblical integrity. After all, it's God's church and His money-but our responsibility to manage it.
Book Synopsis Church Giving Matters by : Ben Stroup
Download or read book Church Giving Matters written by Ben Stroup and published by CrossBooks. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a wide gap between how pastors are trained and what churches expect of them. Pastors are trained to preach, while congregations expect them to manage a complex, non-profit organization, measuring their success by the people in the pews and the dollars in the plate. On top of that, the ever-increasing complexity of local church ministry is demanding more money while the rules of funding ministry are changing, leaving many pastors feeling uncomfortable, unprepared, and overwhelmed. Ben Stroup understands this dilemma well. While serving as pastor of a small, rural congregation that grappled with a changing community and the need to build a more sustainable funding model, he sought in vain for a resource to help manage the tension between balancing money and ministry. Building on his church staff and business experience, Ben has effectually translated non-profit development strategies and techniques into the language and practice of the local church. With practical tools and effective leadership principles that can be immediately implemented, he assists churches in changing the conversation from What do we have to cut to survive? to What does God want us to do next? If you desire to gain a better understanding of how to lead your church through tough and prosperous economic times, and if you believe God will provide all you need to accomplish the ministry he has placed on your heart, this book will be an invaluable resource to help you fund your God-inspired vision. Praise for Church Giving Matters We owe Ben a debt of gratitude for his courageous and helpful approach to a topic that has virtually been a four letter word to the church--"cash." We often pretend that we can effectively advance the kingdom through a great commission strategy without talking about money. Ben strips away all the pretense and tells us that more money translates into more ministry. You will love the emphasis on sustainability. Dr. Ken Hemphill, National Strategist for Empowering Kingdom Growth and author of Making Change: A Transformational Guide to Christian Money Management In a day when budgets are tight and giving is incredibly challenging, this book is worth its weight in gold...if not diamonds. For every pastor, staff member, and committed lay leader, this volume is invaluable. Dr. Jerry Sutton, former President of the Southern Baptist Convention's Pastor's Conference and Professor at the Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary Every decade a stewardship resource comes along that influences positive change in giving. Masterfully crafted advice lies within the pages of this book which if followed, will positively impact what you ll have for what you want to do. Give one to every deacon and elder in your church. I did! Dr. Scott Preissler, Eklund Professor of Steward Leadership, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary This book hits at the heart of what pastors and lay leaders need to know about giving. Ben has thoughtfully and carefully provided practical applications that will help church leaders increase the base of res

Book Synopsis Raising More Than Money by : Doug Carter

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "People do not enter ministry because they like to ask for money, but most discover quickly that raising funds is essential if ministry is going to succeed. In raising more than money, Doug M. Carter, Senior Vice President of EQUIP, shows that stewardship, raising money, raising Christian communities and lifting up the cause of Christ doesn't just aid ministry; it is ministry. Using examples he has collected in his more than forty years in the ministry of development, Doug explains how to build relationships into stewardship, and then create powerful partnerships for ministry." --Inside cover.
Book Synopsis Financial Stewardship by : Andrew Wommack
Download or read book Financial Stewardship written by Andrew Wommack and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best-selling author Andrew Wommack shares his personal story of when he was young and strapped financially. God taught him how to have abundance in the area of finances. Andrew discusses the influence of money in our lives and how it is very real. He teaches that Jesus taught more about managing resources than He did on prayer or even faith. He exposes the manipulation that sometimes goes on with Christian ministers and how you can be immune from it. Andrew Wommack's message is clear that even though there are abuses in the body of Christ regarding money, that you can still benefit from the truths in God s Word about finances. He believes that by fixing your heart that you deal with the root cause of financial situations and then money will take care of itself. Once your heart is right, using wisdom in how you spend your money comes naturally.
Book Synopsis Funding Ministry with Five Loaves and Two Fishes by : Rosario Picardo
Download or read book Funding Ministry with Five Loaves and Two Fishes written by Rosario Picardo and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clergy are trained to preach, teach, and lead a congregation in spiritual matters. However, there is very little training for clergy when it comes to the “business” matters of the church-finances, debt reduction, fundraising, and building maintenance. The added and sometimes unexpected load for clergy can become cumbersome and extremely stressful. In addition, the decline of the church and the passing of key funders of churches leave many pastors with dying churches and few resources to do anything about it. Author Rosario Picardo has been in this very position. As a pastor, Picardo launched a church in a movie theater with no people and very little financial support. He also revitalized a dying congregation in a deteriorating physical structure. Through trials and failures, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking, God provided, and Picardo learned new ways for reaching the least and lost, and for growing disciples. In Funding Ministry with Five Loaves and Two Fish, Picardo shares the lessons he’s learned with confidence that other leaders can do the same. He demonstrates how, step by faithful step.
Book Synopsis More Money Than God by : Sebastian Mallaby
Download or read book More Money Than God written by Sebastian Mallaby and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wealthy, powerful, and potentially dangerous, hedge-find managers have emerged as the stars of twenty-first century capitalism. Based on unprecedented access to the industry, More Money Than God provides the first authoritative history of hedge funds. This is the inside story of their origins in the 1960s and 1970s, their explosive battles with central banks in the 1980s and 1990s, and finally their role in the financial crisis of 2007-9. Hedge funds reward risk takers, so they tend to attract larger-than-life personalities. Jim Simons began life as a code-breaker and mathematician, co-authoring a paper on theoretical geometry that led to breakthroughs in string theory. Ken Griffin started out trading convertible bonds from his Harvard dorm room. Paul Tudor Jones happily declared that a 1929-style crash would be 'total rock-and-roll' for him. Michael Steinhardt was capable of reducing underlings to sobs. 'All I want to do is kill myself,' one said. 'Can I watch?' Steinhardt responded. A saga of riches and rich egos, this is also a history of discovery. Drawing on insights from mathematics, economics and psychology to crack the mysteries of the market, hedge funds have transformed the world, spawning new markets in exotic financial instruments and rewriting the rules of capitalism. And while major banks, brokers, home lenders, insurers and money market funds failed or were bailed out during the crisis of 2007-9, the hedge-fund industry survived the test, proving that money can be successfully managed without taxpayer safety nets. Anybody pondering fixes to the financial system could usefully start here: the future of finance lies in the history of hedge funds.

Book Synopsis Money, Possessions, and Eternity by : Randy Alcorn

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who wants to settle for fleeting treasures on earth . . . when God offers everlasting treasures in heaven? It’s time to rethink our perspectives on money and possessions. In this thoroughly researched classic, Randy Alcorn shows us how to view these things accurately—as God’s provision for our good, the good of others, and his glory. Alcorn presents a biblical and comprehensive view of money and possessions, including the following: Why is money so important to God? Is prosperity theology right or wrong? How can we be liberated from materialism? What should we do about debt? How much does God want us to give? How can we best help the poor and reach the lost? What about gambling? Investing? Insurance? Saving? Retirement? Inheritance? How can we leave our children a true heritage? How can we use money in ways that God rewards? This practical and refreshing theology of money contains topical and Scripture indexes, a study guide, and five helpful appendices.

Book excerpt: In our challenging economic times, it is no surprise that churches must get creative with their resources. But the authors of The More-with-Less Church believe pastors, leadership teams, and planning committees should look on times such as these not as hurdles to overcome but as opportunities to reconsider entrenched but inefficient ministry practices that are siphoning time, money, and energy from their churches. Drawn from time- and field-tested strategies, this practical resource helps church leaders avoid costly mistakes and maximize the return on their investment in four areas of church life--ministries, staffing, facilities, and finances.
