You've Got To Get Over It

When you ask for more funds from an existing donor, there are times when you will be concerned about offending them. Let's have a reality check: What are the likely responses for requesting additional support from an existing donor?

  1. They are probably going to be complimented by the fact that you are challenging them.
  2. They may feel the Lord is really trying to say something here and wants them to respond accordingly.
  3. They can be very gracious and say: "You know we love what you're doing but to be honest with you, I think we're going to have to stay at our current level of giving."

My question to you is: "Can you handle anyone of these three responses?" If yes, what are you waiting for? If not, you and your donor might be missing out on some special blessings from the Lord and letting negative thinking take control. My advice-- you've got to get over it!
