Thanksgiving Campaign Kicks Off!

As our Thanksgiving fund raising campaign is kicking off, I thought it might be fitting to post part of some notes from my City Vision College days: a document on Prison Fellowship fund raising policies. Now, this is from 1999 so I can't say they are current policies, but this brief section of notes as a training tool are very good, and reflect my feelings about this amazing inner city work that we do at Souls Harbour RESCUE Mission.

We are compelled to be passionate, persuasive, and urgent about our fundraising efforts because:

The task is urgent.
The task is great.
Our product has integrity.
Our programs change lives and make a difference. Our programs are worthy of support - we need not be shy about urging people to help fund them.
Giving is an act of biblical obedience.
(Heb 13:16; Prov 3:9; 2 Cor. 9:7)
Therefore, we may boldly encourage people to give.
