• Do I have a God-given vision? Am I called to this work?
• Does God promise to provide what is needed for the
work He gives me to do?
• What is truly holding me back or causing me to delay in
leading people to give significantly?
Boldly moving forward requires you to ask yourself a few
simple questions:
R
perspective. From both a spiritual and financial perspective,
there is not a lack of resources available for the work of your
ministry! Instead, what you may indeed lack is the clarity
of purpose, drive, skills, discipline, and story to help gener-
ous givers understand that they will see a greater return on
their investment by giving these dollars to impact the lives
of young people who are developing a biblical worldview.
Another perspective we would share is that more than
half of all money donated to anything in 2018 came from
individuals for religious or educational causes. Individuals
are giving generously, but they are overwhelmed with choic-
es. This leads to limited awareness of what impactful minis-
tries, like yours, can accomplish with their help and gifts.
It is vital for you to take action now. Even though we
are feeling the current benefits of a long term boom, like
all things that rise, a downturn will inevitably come. I can
promise you, with total certainty, it’s coming. The challenge
is that no one ever knows when.
It might be helpful for you to ask yourself this painful
question: “Do I want to figure out how to allocate a 30%
increase in revenue due to a growth in giving in the next
year, or do I want to wait until the next downturn and prob-
lem solve how to absorb a 30% loss of giving, enrollment, or
other revenues?”
Imagine a 30% loss of giving, involvement, volunteerism,
staff, and your total budget! How would you react? How
would you use your time in that sort of crisis? Who would
you meet with? Who would you ask for help from? Who
would you need to get involved? Why not apply that level
of diligence, focus, and energy now while the resources are
available and at work in our world?
God knows the plans He has for you, and they are plans
for good! So, it’s time to stop being overwhelmed with the
busyness of today and the emotions of scarce resources and
to move forward with boldness.

RENEWANATION DONOR
DEVELOPMENT BOOT CAMP
FEBRUARY 27-29, 2020
MANDERLEY CHRISTIAN CAMP – PIKEVILLE, TN
“I give the highest recommendation for the Manderley Donor
Development Boot Camp. We attended September 20-22, 2018.
The partnership and presentations between Jeff Keaton and
Zach Clark were inspirational, practical, and aligned with best
practices. Jeff and Zach identified the challenges, zeroed in on
the work we do, and helped us clarify the mission and vision of
our ministries. Both speakers were on point. As to the develop-
ment, Zach’s concepts of the development message, planning,
and strategies were a fresh new look. The donor calendar was
especially helpful. The group exercises of writing a development
plan for our individual ministries were the perfect conclusion. I
encourage all to bring their senior leadership and development
personnel to this outstanding event.” Dr. Sonny Sherrill
If your school or ministry is God-ordained, then God has
prepared the hearts of many people in your community
to join your team and expand your impact. You just need
to know how to clearly present your work and how to
build meaningful relationships with those who have the
capacity to give and an affinity for your cause.
Our three-day donor development boot camp with Zach
Clark is a powerful first step in helping you reach your do-
nor development potential. Whether you need a refresher,
total overhaul, or are starting from scratch, this camp will
be a tremendous help to you and your organization.
