Will the economy impact church giving?
I have good news. The NYT reported today that giving to charities in 2007 increased in spite of all the rumors of a recession and economic downturn.
It's easy to blame the economy for downward trends in church giving. But this evaluation reminds us that people are continuing to give to charitable causes in the midst of a housing and mortgage debacle, increase in unemployment, etc. Further, we know that most charitable giving in any given year goes to churches and religious organizations.
What are you doing to make sure you're inspiring others to give so that you can have the money you need to accomplish the ministry God has placed on your heart?
Are you making your case? If not, someone already is.
We've got a lot of work to do.
