A Practical Guide to Raising Support, c1993, Moody Press
In this breakthrough manual/workbook William Dillon helps you get beyond developing a donor list, to sharing a vision and drawing others into a vital ministry team. It's a highly practical guide that provides the well-honed tools you need to finance the ministry to which God has called you.
"I believe this is one of the most important and practical books in the history of world missions. I hope that those who believe God's word will read it and distribute it widely. It's not optional."
George Verwer, Founder, Operation Mobilization |
