How to resource your vision course

“I introduce this ‘new approach’ and walk you through the contents and organization of this video course, ‘How to Resource Your Vision’. It includes a definition of ‘stewardship’ and an analogy that allows you to visualize what this ‘new approach’ looks like.”

I discuss various ‘WHAT?’ scenarios, including questions like ‘What do you desire?’ ‘What are God’s intentions?’ ‘What characterizes a biblically generous church?’ ‘What does this ‘new approach’ entail?’ What are the essential components and insights related to this ‘new approach?’

This lecture delves into the ‘WHY?’ behind long-term strategic church ministry, inspiring you to take initiative and stay committed. Before you begin this video, please ensure you read my booklet, ‘Why Have a Church Stewardship/Generosity Ministry.’ I provide a quiz that you can apply to your church, which will uncover the giving ‘health’ of your congregation. The lecture concludes with a list of compelling reasons for establishing this vital church ministry.

“We will now get into the specifics of 'HOW?' to design, implement, and sustain a church stewardship and generosity education ministry. What topics do you pray over? How do you assemble your leadership team? How do you establish your agenda? What content do you teach? Where do you conduct the sessions? How do you assess the outcomes?”

Lecture Five guides you through my "Supplementary Resources" and various content sources that offer instructional material for your diverse platforms. Additionally, I present a facet of stewardship and generosity education you might not yet know, featured in an additional 14-minute video accompanied by two downloadable documents designed to introduce your congregation to advanced giving strategies. This segment is titled "Win-Win Estate/Gift Planning Strategies."

Your donors may have giving capabilities that they are not aware of, and our full 15-minute video, “Win-Win Estate/Gift Planning Strategies”, along with its “Donor Handout”, can help them discover how to possibly increase their giving to your ministry. Having worked over 25 years in ministry development, I observed that many churches & ministries did not have a marketing tool to help instruct and motivate their donors into discovering these giving capabilities. My pleasure is being able to give it to you at no cost or expected engagement with your ministry. In fact, I have designed it so that you can offer it to your donors with your “brand” on it from your website.

The purpose of this video is to introduce you to giving capabilities that you may not be aware of. In fact, some of them are Win-Win because they can benefit you personally as well as the ministries you support. Be prepared to go beyond basic wills and living trusts. Check with the ministry who referred you to this video. They may be able to recommend a local professional to answer questions and help you with planning and documentation.
