Free The God Ask: A Fresh, Biblical Approach To Personal Support Raising Ebooks Online
As a ministry worker, raising support can be a daunting task. It doesn't have to be intimidating though. It isn't about money or asking people to give. It is about looking to God to provide for you. He has given you a vision for ministry, and now you get to invite others into that vision. Your job is to pray and work hard to discover those whom the Lord has already prepared to invest in you and your ministry. God has done His work. Now it's time for you to do yours. A case in point: Nehemiah was very nervous about meeting with the wealthiest, most powerful man on the planet. He was asking King Artaxerxes to fund his Jerusalem restoration project. But when it came time to make his appeal, this lowly cupbearer first looked up to the Person who really provides resources. At the moment of truth, Nehemiah lifted his heart and made The God Ask. In Nehemiah 2:4 he describes the exchange: "Then the king said to me, 'What would you request?' So I prayed to the God of heaven." Instead of going into appointments fearing what your fellow man will say, you can have confidence that God is superintending the whole process. This book will help you embrace the fact that this is not a Man Ask. No. It is a God Ask!

This was a great book.I have been living abroad since 2009, and have struggled sometimes with raising and maintaining monthly support. I first read "Funding Your Ministry" by Scott Morton when I left for the mission field, and started implementing some of the things that author outlined in that book. I've even lent my copy to others.Recently for my birthday I shared my Kindle Wishlist on Facebook and one of my supporters bought me a copy of this book as I had hoped to get it.As I started to read it, I noticed that in the beginning the author drives home the concept of praying about who to ask, so as to not waste all your time asking and asking and asking potential supporters. In fact, after our latest newsletter prior to starting this book, my wife and I had prayed and asked God for names to put on a list of people we were going to start asking, and immediately the first four approached us before we could ask and tell us they felt led to support us. This helped confirm for us that if we commit this to the Lord, he's probably speaking to the hearts of those we feel compelled to ask. Reading this book lit a fire of boldness in us to start contacting others ASAP.So, with that in mind, here's some thoughts:First, the positive:--I felt VERY encouraged, and a gentle slap on the butt to get going and do a better job maintaining *relationship* with my supporters. I found the tips and suggestions in this book to be invaluable.--The 11 appendices at the end of the book are what truly make this book worth the money.
