Here are the top ten things you should avoid saying at a Christian fundraiser for Christian Leaders:

  1. "You must donate to save your soul."
  2. Avoid using language that creates a sense of fear or manipulates donors' faith for fundraising purposes.
  3. "Only Christians can make a difference."
  4. Avoid excluding or dismissing individuals of different faith backgrounds or beliefs. Emphasize the universal impact and value of supporting free ministry training.
  5. "You should feel guilty if you can't donate."
  6. Avoid guilt-tripping or pressuring potential donors to contribute financially. Focus on the positive impact they can make rather than instilling negative emotions.
  7. "God will bless you more if you donate more."
  8. Avoid making promises of material blessings or spiritual rewards based on the amount of the donation. Fundraising should not be linked to prosperity theology.
  9. '"This is the only ministry worth supporting."
  10. Avoid diminishing or disregarding other worthy causes or ministries. Respect the diversity of donors' philanthropic interests and encourage them to support causes they feel passionate about.
  11. "Donating is the only way to show your faith."
  12. Avoid implying that financial contributions are the sole indicator of someone's commitment to their faith. Emphasize that support can come in various forms, such as prayers, volunteering, or spreading awareness.
  13. "You should donate even if it puts you in financial hardship."
  14. Avoid pressuring donors to make donations that exceed their financial capacity. Encourage responsible stewardship and the importance of giving within one's means.
  15. "We have a goal, and if we don't reach it, we fail."
  16. Avoid creating a sense of failure or disappointment if the fundraising goal is not met. Focus on the positive impact already achieved and the ongoing progress toward the mission.
  17. We only need large donations; small amounts won't make a difference."

  18. Avoid undervaluing small contributions. Emphasize that every donation, regardless of size, makes a meaningful impact and collectively supports the mission.

  19. "Your donation is tax-deductible, so you should give more."

  • Avoid using tax benefits as the primary motivation for donating. Instead, focus on the significance of the cause itself and the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

By avoiding these statements, your Mission Multipliers can maintain a respectful, inclusive, and person-centered approach that focuses on building genuine relationships and inspiring support for free ministry training at Christian Leaders Institute
