Creating A Climate For Giving. Donald Joiner. Giving through the church is about more than money. It is about lives changed. It is about helping others. Giving grows because of what church leader do, and not do, to help people learn what it means to give. 112 pages.
Church leaders are often heard to say that old ways aren't working any longer. Creating a Climate for Giving brings a vision for a fresh way of creating a climate for giving in local churches. Joiner explores the subsystems through which a church leads its members to give or not to give. We must refine ""fund-raising"" to ""funding ministry."" In the interim between being a ""fund-raising church"" and becoming a ""funding ministry church,"" finance leaders will continue to need models demonstrating how to operate the short-term finance ministries of their church. This is where Joiner can help. A financial campaign for developing Christian philanthropists is included.
