We often see observation 1 (asking) and 3 (not cutting corners), but without that middle observation, it lacks real meaning and it lacks the personal connection. In church we need to hear more testimonies about changed lives, answered prayers, and the power of the gospel...not more about the programs.

We are asking less money this year than last year. What that says to me is that we're no longer moving forward and reaching new people. We're going to give up cave in and do less. I'm sending this to my Pastor. I hope he finds more faith than what he communicated through our new budget. If they Y can get more money than last year, why can't my church increase our budget?

I had began second guessing myself and what type of "ask" I'm doing for our church. Thank you for the reminder that people are still willing to give to causes that touch their hearts deeply.
