#114 - 🇺🇸 How to Increase Giving in your Church? (For Pastors and Church Leaders).

Notas do episódio

This podcast, aimed to reach pastors and church leaders, starts with a pertinent question: why to increase giving in the local church? just to have more money available for the church's budget? Would it be the right motivation? What could be a better motivation for increasing giving in the church? The presentation suggests that regular and systematic giving (Promise) should be considered as a spiritual discipline, instead of simply as donation. If giving should generate spiritual growth, spiritual financial givers in the church should be considered as "worshipers", and not as "donors". For this reason, that presentation suggests that when offerings are promoted, there should be given more emphasis on the motivation (for giving) than on the destination (of what will be given).
