How Does it Feel to be a Donor?

As fund raisers we talk to our prospects and donors about the biblical mandate of giving. We challenge them and encourage them to personally invest in our ministry. But I'm assuming that you as a fund raiser also play another role: the role of a donor.

How does it feel to be a donor?

I think we need to reflect on that from time to time. I love to take the opportunity to give to the Lord's work. There is a real personal satisfaction I have as I give. I am reminded when scripture tells us that it is more blessed to given than to ask. (Acts 20:35)

Now if we have that satisfaction as we personally give, how do you think your donors feel? I would conclude that they have the same feelings we do.

Knowing that, we should never be hesitant to give people an opportunity for people to give to our ministry as we represent the Lord.
