The Gift of Fund Development

I have officially begun the process of finding and inviting a team of people to support the ministry here at UCLA.

How's it gone so far? I've pretty much been schooled by Jesus just about every day.

A few snapshots of all I've been learning:
  • People are generous...especially those who have little money to give.
  • God provides...usually in the most unexpected ways.
  • Jesus wants to make me into a generous and bold person.
  • Potential donors have SO much to teach me from their life experiences.
  • Money is only about 10% of what this is all about. Much of it is about partnership...praying for and encouraging each other. But all of it is about being discipled by Jesus.
  • I must simultaneously put to death all desires to please people, but also continually think of ways to serve them well by being relevant and articulate.
  • I love campus ministry and God is breaking my heart for college students more and more.
  • The chance to fundraise is a gift. And I must praise God for it every day.
