FUNDRAISING AT-A-GLANCE

Welcome to Fundraising with Ambassadors Ministries!

You are about to embark on an incredible journey. My prayer for you is that your trust in the Lord and your vision for His kingdom will grow through this process. 

Right now, your support goal may feel like a looming mountain standing between you and the ‘real work’ of your ministry. But let me encourage you, fundraising is ministry, fundraising is a blessing and many brothers and sisters in Christ have walked this path through the ages. Even the Apostle Paul raised support to fund his missionary journeys (more on this here). 

We are trusting God for His provision through His people giving of His resources to accomplish His mission. In this process, both the giver and the receiver are richly blessed. We have the incredible honor of helping people become treasure transplanters (Matthew 6:19-21). And we have the incredible honor of seeing God provide for our daily bread through the generosity of others.

Your primary goal in this season is not to raise X amount of money. How quickly your support comes in, how much people give, how quickly people respond, etc. is not in your control. Your primary goal in this season is to invite as many people as possible to be a part of God's Kingdom work through your ministry. Faithfully asking and following up with people is in your control. So let's focus on being faithful, full of faith, and Spirit-filled with the part that is entrusted to you.

As you take steps of faith, there will be challenges. But there will also be wonderful surprises. I am eager to see what the Lord has in store. Know that the Ambassadors team and I are here for you along the way. 

In Christ,

Desyré MacMillan
