Fundraising, like parenting or disciple-making, is best not done in a rush. This session seeks to take a long-term view of building a network of friends to support a ministry. It will look at a wide range of relevant biblical texts, highlighting their contrast with both secular values and with secularised Christian fundraising. Fundraising can have both positive and negative spiritual aspects, and there are both temptations and blessings for those who seek to do it.
