**** About Fundraising for Missionaries (I030-M010-V001)
Hi, my name is Glynis.
I want to tell you what the “Fundraising for Missionaries” course is about,
and how you will benefit from doing it.
When missionaries first start out in ministry,
they face big challenges.
One of them is raising the funds they’ll
need on the field.
I presume you’re probably facing this challenge too, because you’re watching this video!
Perhaps you’ve thought things like “I
don’t want to beg for money!”,
or “In my culture you can’t just ask people for money!”,
or perhaps even “Won’t God supply my needs if I just have faith?”
Leaving such questions unanswered might make
the challenges seem so huge
that it could even stop you from going into ministry!
This course addresses many such questions, which could alleviate your concerns.
Another possible challenge is HOW to go about
raising support in a God-honouring way.
The course gives practical steps you can follow
to raise all the funds you will need for your ministry,
and honour God by the way you do it.
We realise that the approach to fundraising
can differ from culture to culture,
and there is therefore no single approach which could be appropriate in all situations.
Our online discussion forums are therefore useful
in sharing unique challenges and solutions found.
In this way we learn from each other.
Our hope here at Didasko Academy is that you
will be a well-funded missionary
who will bring glory to God among the nations!
