		<description><![CDATA[For some reason those of us in ministry seem to think that only businesses can be organized.  We believe that doing things our way is much better than setting up a game plan.  If we&#8217;re honest, we know that our way of support-raising is actually adding a lot of stress to our family, our ministry and our own [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=weitips.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1556989&amp;post=25&amp;subd=weitips&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can’t be prepared for every one of them. Sometimes all you wanted to do was just visit a church while on vacation, not do a presentation about your ministry. But presentations, whether 5 minutes or 60, are a part of a missionaries’ job description and nothing is worse than an unprepared, unorganized, and boring [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=weitips.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1556989&amp;post=22&amp;subd=weitips&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though it is sometimes necessary, nobody likes to be put on the spot – especially when it comes to being asked for money. People typically walk away from a situation like that either feeling too stingy, or too generous just because they didn’t know how to handle the awkward conversation. Next time you are campaigning [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=weitips.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1556989&amp;post=21&amp;subd=weitips&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the hardest sentences for a missionary to say is: “We need money to fund this ministry, would you like to support us?” Why is that? What is it that has caused us to find it rude to ask for money for the Kingdom? Instead, we try to protect ourselves. We hint that we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=weitips.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1556989&amp;post=19&amp;subd=weitips&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you lifted up your arms and hands for a few hours, do you think it would have any direct effect on your support account? Probably not. In fact it sounds so ridiculous that you&#8217;d think it was insanity if someone actually told you there was some sort of correlation between the two. Yet in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=weitips.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1556989&amp;post=18&amp;subd=weitips&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

He rarely left a conversation without somehow directing it to how [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=weitips.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1556989&amp;post=17&amp;subd=weitips&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Yet, on the other side, you are not sure if giving them all the details of your herniated disk operation and the family’s trip [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=weitips.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1556989&amp;post=9&amp;subd=weitips&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
