A faith-based framework for fundraising emphasizing reliance on God's provision.
In "The God Ask," Steve Shadrach presents a paradigm shift for those involved in raising personal support for ministry. The book reframes fundraising as a spiritual act, where the primary focus is on trusting God to provide for His mission through the generosity of His people. Shadrach draws on biblical examples, such as Nehemiah’s appeal to King Artaxerxes, to illustrate that support raising is not about human persuasion but about inviting others to join God's work. This perspective helps alleviate the anxiety often associated with asking for financial support and encourages a posture of faith and dependence on God.
The book is divided into several sections that cover a range of topics essential for effective support raising. It begins with addressing common obstacles and fears, then moves into developing a vision-driven approach to fundraising. Shadrach provides practical tools and strategies, such as creating a detailed plan, using scripts and templates, and maintaining a focus on building genuine relationships with potential supporters. These practical insights are grounded in a deep Biblical foundation, making the book a comprehensive guide for anyone involved in ministry fundraising.
