Passion-driven Giving: a Six-week Stewardship Campaign Based on the Purposes of the Church Gregory Tyree Phd

Publisher Marketing: Passion-Driven Giving is based on the assumption that God's people will give to God's work. This is a resource that will help pastors and lay leaders move their churches to greater commitment and consistent giving so that God's work- His passions- may be fulfilled. Passion-Driven Giving is a campaign built around the concept of "Stewardship Month." I have used this model in three churches for almost two decades, and it works. Since I deal extensively and meaningfully with stewardship for four or five weeks out of the year, I do not have to constantly deal with "money" from the pulpit all the time. Passion-Driven Giving is a field-tested resource. It actually works! The key to its success, like most programs and campaigns, is its application. Generally, the campaign should be followed verbatim. That is, all of the mail-outs should be done; all of the posters should be posted; all of the sermons should be preached; all of the Sunday School classes should participate, etc. Passion-Driven Giving is also a "reusable" resource. If Stewardship Month is an annual campaign, this resource can be tweaked, revised, and enhanced to work for you for years to come! And by purchasing this resource once, you have the right to copy it as many times as you like. One of the most important factors about Passion-Driven Giving is that it involves everyone! Sunday School teachers, children, lay people, leaders, staff; everyone gets to be in on the action! If the resource is used well, it will work. Remember, people don't plan to fail; they fail to plan. So plan your work and work your plan and God will take care of the rest! Be passion driven. Be purpose-driven. Watch your ministry grow through Passion-Driven Giving!
