The first time we asked for financial partners
we were so embarrassed that we sort of just
mumbled something apologetically at the end
of our presentation! It felt really awkward and so
scary to ask strangers to invest their money in us.
We avoided the topic and just hoped people would
realise that we needed support. We soon came to
realise that there is blessing for both the giver and
the receiver; who were we to deny that opportunity?
When we simply invite people to partner with us
in cross-cultural mission we feel confident, but not
pushy, as we believe that since God had called us, He
would raise the funds in His timing. While we were
on Home Assignment we had to raise quite a bit
more money because of the drop in the Aussie dollar
during the time we were overseas. Many people
increased their giving because the rationale made
sense to people, which was wonderful.
There is so much joy for us when people tell us they
want to support us. We feel like people understand
