Partners in Ministry

Paul J. Scharf

Read Part 1 and Part 2.

One of the biggest takeaways from my study of The God Ask by Steve Shadrach (Fayetteville, AR: Via Nations, 2023) and my participation in Via Generosity’s Support Raising Bootcamp was the importance of developing partners in ministry.

‘The God Ask’

Paul J. Scharf

Read Part 1.

In this short series, I am sharing some of the things that I learned at Via Generosity’s Support Raising Bootcamp, which I attended earlier this month near Austin, TX. The training is centered around the book called The God Ask by Steve Shadrach (Fayetteville, AR: Via Nations, 2023).

Discussion

Back From Bootcamp

Paul J. Scharf

I just returned from bootcamp—Support Raising Bootcamp, that is. I attended Via Generosity’s Support Raising Bootcamp in Austin, Texas, on Feb. 12 and 13.

Discussion

Should I as an individual support a missionary?

SI Filings

“While I cannot Biblically prohibit the practice of individual supporters, I have encouraged anyone who asks to channel their financial support for missions through the church instead of apart from it….Our approach of emphasizing that missionary financial support should come through the local church has several advantages” - Matt Postiff
