The God Ask: A Fresh, Biblical Approach to Personal Support Raising

By: Steve Shadrach

Narrated by: Paul Michael

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 audiobook will help you embrace the fact that this is not a Man Ask. No. It is a God Ask!

A Must Read

This book is a must read for all Christian workers who need to raise their own support.

Game changer

This book gave a fresh perspective on faith and utilizing it when fundraising for starting a church and planting churches. I recommend this for anyone that is planting churches starting a church for the first time or just needs a refresher in their faith.

Fundraising Genius

Some of the best fundraising advice I’ve ever received. Support raising is an important part of ministry. This book demystifies the process.

Eye opening

This book truly gave me a new perspective on giving, support raising and ministry budgets. I encourage every missionary to read this. But more than that I think all Christians should read this to understand why and how to give.

Encouraging

Really enjoyed reading this book. Was inspired to go out and pursue Gods calling on my life and to share the vision he has given. Sharing the vision and trusting God for the provision.
