Have you ever raised funds for your church, another organization, or a mission trip? Maybe you felt uncomfortable about asking people to donate money. It’s time to change the way you view this important task.

‘Fundraising is, first and foremost, a ministry, ‘ renowned author and teacher Henri Nouwen writes in the introduction.’It’s a way of announcing our vision and inviting other people into our mission.’

Nouwen approaches fundraising from a position of strength rather than weakness, seeing it as spiritual work. ‘Fundraising is precisely the opposite of begging, ‘ he points out.

Unlike most business/leadership books, A Spirituality of Fundraising is brief and can easily be read in one sitting. Sections of this booklet include:

• Fundraising as Ministry


• Helping the Kingdom Come About


• Our Security Base


• People Who Are Rich


• Asking


• A New Communion


• Prayer and Gratitude


• Your Kingdom Come

Nouwen’s insights will shift your thinking about fundraising. You’ll never feel as though you are begging for money but will instead view your work as true ministry. A must-read for leaders in churches, nonprofits, ministries, and businesses!
