“Nice to meet you, how can you help?”
A dear friend of mine (who raises millions of dollars for his ministry) once said that the key to raising money is seeing everyone you meet as a supporter, prayer warrior or volunteer for your ministry. He rarely left a conversation without somehow directing it to how they could be involved.
Living this way helps us to see everyone as potential supporters and opens us to a much larger group of individuals than we would typically allow ourselves to reach. Don’t limit yourself to the people that you think will give. Allow everyone the opportunity to invest in your ministry. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to see how wrong you were!
