Asking for Campaign Support

"Asking for Campaign Support" guides church volunteers to visit members to ask them to support their church's capital campaign. 80% of a church campaign is planning and preparing. Then comes the time to ask for support. This how-to booklet provides guidance for preparing for visits, arranging to meet, and conducting a conversation that leads to inviting members to "join me" in participating in the campaign. Visitors are guided to envision their task as not only raising resources for the church's physical needs but as contributing to a healthy, vital, serving institution that meets the needs of the whole person better than just about any other human organization. The booklet is designed to be reviewed quickly to serve visitors prior to phoning a church family to request a visit. Also included are sections to guide visitors in role playing case studies as they practice and prepare for their visits, as well as a treasury of scriptures and quotations about giving - to help visitors frame their service spiritually and to guide them in their work on behalf of God and God's church.
