We began Monday evening with worship in the Amistad Chapel (pictured here).
For three days we have been discussing fund-raising principles and best practices for financial development.
I have to admit, this stuff is fascinating. I never thought I would say that, but it is. It has been very helpful.
The good news? I am really learning a lot about how to raise significant money to fund the ministry and mission we have spent a good deal of my early days dreaming about.
The bad news? I'm coming to get you.
Well, that sounded harsh. And that's not bad news, really. Let me rephrase that: I am happy to be part of a concerted effort to increase your joy by inviting you to participate in mission through giving.
There we go.
We have a lot of work to do before we begin any major campaign, but it is a vision and a goal towards which I and the leaders of this Conference will soon be working with zeal and passion. And all of you - all of you - will be an integral part of making this mission and ministry come alive.
I can't wait!
