Has God ever given you a BIG
job to do but then you try to convince yourself that God changed His mind?
Maybe you tell yourself it was your own mind talking and not God speaking to
you… when you know it was the Lord telling you it is time to move.
I know this has happened to
me. Has it ever happened to you?
Those of us working with ministries,
nonprofits, and churches I think sometimes face a somewhat similar situation.
You're getting ready to meet a donor to ask for a gift. Then you talk yourself
out of asking. Why? You come up with seemingly solid reasons why you should
hold off on asking, but should you? For Christians, I think it is important
during these times to listen for what God would have us do in these moments.
In addition to prayer, there
are some practical techniques we can use. I just watched a video I thought you
might like that deals with this very issue. Marc Pitman (aka the Fundraising
Coach) talks about preparing to ask a donor for a gift.
He has some great examples of
how to prepare for a donor meeting so it goes much smoother. Check it out: http://www.501videos.com/cmd.php?Clk=4849219
