It will take a comprehensiveVISION

• It will take a business plan• It will take a serious

commitment on the part of the Board of Directors to see it through with the CEO

• It will take volunteers• It will take hard work• It will take tenacity

• It will take a lot of prayer

• It will take a leader that knows what, why, how and…

• It will take God bringing someone to you that He prepared to help you go to the position that He is calling you to be atIT WILL TAKE A DEVELOPMENT!

What is Development?

• Is it just about asking for money for your organization?

• Is it just about reaching financial benchmarks?• If it is not just that, what else is it?• What is the perception of this by your Board of

Directors?• What is the perception of this by the Lead

Pastor/CEO and employees/volunteers/church members/constituents?

TRUE IT DOES TAKE MONEY

• But, IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY!• The Development person works throughout the

organization ensuring the entire organization is fully functioning at its Best Practice position

• Why? No one wants to give money to a broken down sinking ship! So, internal capacity building is key to successful development

• Develop the Board, develop the organization, fix all the frames within it, develop communications, and develop the constituencies.

HOW?

• Training• Celebrating and building on the strengths and hard

work of the past we need to take the organization to the point of full health!

• LEADERSHIP INFUSION– Who? The person God has called, equipped and “prepared

for such a time as this.”– If that is true, and valued then will this be someone that only

knows fundraising development? Or, will it be someone that is also a minister and also a manager/leader that has worked at all levels of nonprofits?

What has God already prepared for your ministry organization?

• Resources of knowledge regarding fundraising are not readily taught at bible colleges in the USA, so will you then settle for the poorly trained or untrained (on the job learner) that just loves Jesus and people?

• Can you afford to wait while they learn on your dollar?• Most minister’s don’t know this industry, so unless God

specifically called someone into this, you either settle for a person that only knows development or you pray that a miracle took place about 3-5 years ago and someone was fully obedient to that call to prepare…

• However it will NOT be a slam dunk to receive everything God has prepared…– There is a cost to having someone with the skill because it cost to

learn the skill.– Whenever someone new is brought into the team CHANGE

HAPPENS.

God has prepared someone…

What did it cost to learn the skills?

• Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Exposition$7,500 per year X 4+ years = $30,000 (estimating low)

• Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministries$7,500 per year X 4+ years = $30,000 (estimating low)

• Master of Arts in Philanthropy and Development$10,000 per year X 3+ years = 30,000

TOTAL: $90,000plus 11+ years of adult life

“Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain,” and “The worker deserves his wages.”

1 Timothy 5:18

“A laboreris worthy

of his hire”- Jesus (Luke 10:7)

Let’s look at the benefits that God wants to provide in order that His ministry here with

you can grow and succeed:

• A Development Director with Ministry skills• A Development Department that is functioning• What will that look like?– Proper Stewardship of Donors– Prayerful Strategic Relationships for the Good of

Your Ministry Organization and Your Constituents.– Your Ministry Team will be able to afford to grow!

• A Ministry Team Support System…

Joplin, Missouri



Somewhere in the midst of praying regularly, seeking God’s face intentionally, working really hard obediently, studying diligently, and loving people as God said we should, God would meet us and give us His anointing. He would bring revival and souls were saved and added to the Kingdom of God. Believers were nurtured and discipling was happening.

GOD WAS FAITHFUL

in every way!

These two stacks of money represented here was from one fundraising site. There was over $43,000 given in $100.00 bills anonymously between just the two Salvation Army Red Kettles at that site in one day. This brought us over the annual fundraising goal by $20,000.00 and was the second year in a row that someone did this. God bless them!

God pricks the hearts of the people in the kingdoms of this world to pour into His ministries a bountiful provision. Everything that is needed to do what God calls His people to do is available.

“Ask and you shall receive.” - Jesus

See also: Isaiah 60:5



Over 3.4 Million Dollars wasraised in just two years while

I was The Salvation ArmyCorps Officer in Joplin, MO.

That is besides what I helped to raise

in all the other appointments.
