Notes de l'éditeur
- People get really skiddish about talking about money and the Bible.
- Rev. Billy “What would Jesus Buy?”
- Asking for money is one of the most noble opportunities on earth Like putting a plug into a live socket great American tradition--though philanthropy has been around since the beginning people often don't have the privilege of earning an income doing what matters most to them
- Jesus—Observations It seems striking to me that these women would be able to help “out of their own means” (Luke 8:3). In this culture, women were largely seen as property of their husbands or fathers, but they must have been well off to be giving out of their “resources.” This indicates to me that Jesus was truly open to connecting not just with the poor but with the rich as well. (And isn’t it wonderfully ironic that some of Jesus’ provision came from Herod’s household?) Some Fundraising Take Aways I know, this doesn’t show Jesus actually asking for money. But it does show that He and the Twelve received donor support. As a fundraiser, these few verses are extremely comforting to me. I’ve felt awkward raising money that will, in part, pay for my salary. But now I know Jesus received support for his work too.

- Exodus 25:1-9; Exodus 35: 4 – 36:7 It’s interesting that it’s specifically recorded that the offering was made to the Lord, not to the tabernacle. In fact, this story is remarkably God-centered. God is present in every step of the process: God details the need; God tells how to use the supplies; God prompts Moses to ask for the supplies; God prompts certain people to respond; the people give to God; the gifts are used to glorify God by craftsmen God gifted. Some Fundraising Take Aways I think that this story illustrates the importance of asking God to show us our organization’s needs and to then faithfully share them with our constituents. When they’re asked by a leader obeying God—neither understating nor overstating—the people responded by giving more than enough to finish the work. For me, this clearly shows that God is intimately involved with every step in the solicitation.

- David’s prayer shows the lack of pride in his presentation. As with the previous story, God is the source and recipient of all giving. “But who am I and who are my people, that we should be in a position to contribute this much? Indeed, everything comes from you [God], and we have simply given back to you what is yours.” (2 Chron 29:14). He knows he’s dependent on God for all he has. And once again, the leaders don’t give to David or the temple, they gave “delighted with their donations” and “contributed to the Lord with a willing attitude” (2 Chron 29:9). Some Fundraising Take Aways Rather than trying to gain praise, David gives the praise to God and leads the people in praising God. He leveraged his position to influence the giving of the leaders. Moreover, he challenged an older generation to fundraise generously on the behalf of the younger generation (1 Chron 29:1).

- Some Fundraising Take Aways I think this story points to the legitimacy of asking non-Christians and the government to invest in Kingdom work. It is our first example of a solicitor fasting prior to a solicitation. And we see a fundraiser specifically asking God for His favor before and during solicitations. Once again, God is the prime mover in the fundraising process. Our requests are to build up His kingdom. And He’s pleased to give us His favor in the process.
