IMG_0962Churches that see giving increases understand how the lack of planning leads to planning to fail.  Do you understand that?  I am amazed at how many churches have plans for all kinds of things yet never think to have a giving plan.  Right now scores of churches are coming out of the summer months lagging behind in their giving.  What are they planning to do to reverse this decline?  NOTHING!

If you always do what you have always done you will not get what you always got.  That might be poor grammar but it a truth.  Our times have changed and how people view things have changed.  A lack of giving planning will lead to a decline in giving.  You cannot assume that giving will continue on forever.  We live in a different time and how we connect with our donors has to change.

Church giving has been on a steady decline and by 2050 Americans will give only 1% of their incomes to the church!  Do you have a plan to make sure your churches giving stays strong?  I do!

Churches that see giving increases have a plan and they work their plan!  Do you have a giving plan?  Are you even thinking about your churches giving?

One reason churches lack a giving plan is the Senior Pastor simply does not have it on his radar.  The tyranny of the urgent presses in upon them and Sunday is coming and that sermon still needs work.  With all that surrounding you who has time to think about giving.  I think about giving all day long every day!

My passion, my life’s mission is this, to reverse the decline in giving one church at a time!

I have helped churches from those running 30,000 on a weekend to those running 100.  Every one of them from Joel Osteen to you have one thing in common.  That one thing is you need people to give you money to help fuel the dreams you have.  Joel Osteen’s dream was the Compaq Center so he could reach more people.  Your dream might be to provide spiritual support for your town of 250.  In God’s eyes both dreams are equally important.  Yet, if you don’t have the financial resources to fuel your dream seeing it become a reality is much more difficult.

Stop thinking about planning and start planning right now!  You reaction to that question, indeed your reaction to this post might be one of the following…

  • We don’t know what to do?  I do!  I have a plan for you.  Go to https://thestewardshipcoach.org/join-now/
  • We don’t have the time to invest in planning.  I do!  Get the work done for you at https://thestewardshipcoach.org/join-now/
  • We can’t afford help.  You can’t afford NOT to get help!  If spending less than $100 increased your giving by 30% would it be worth it?  That is what many of my members are seeing in giving increases.
  • I am not sure what you offer meets my needs.  Try my plan for 14 days for only $1!  Find out by only spending $1 by clicking this link https://thestewardshipcoach.org/join-now/

Stop making excuses.  Stop doing nothing and start getting the help you need.  I promise you that if you follow my advice you will see an increase in your giving.  Join with me and let’s make sure that you are fully funded!
