  What are the Benefits for people who give financially? Think Big.

  WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS THAT FINANCIAL SUPPORTERS COULD EXPECT FROM BRIDGE LEADERS?

  About half of our Bridge Leaders are committed to ministering not only to people outside the church but also to those who give financially for the work to be done. (What about the other half? They fund their own ministry out of their own pocket.)

  If you are giving to BridgesUS and to one or more of the Leaders, Thank you! You are part of the team! It takes all of us working together to see lives change! Have you thought about what benefits you could be receiving from your involvement and relationship with a Bridge Leader?

  Many of us Bridge Leaders do not initially cherish the task of raising funds for the ministry to which God has called us. We love the people we meet in our ministry. We don’t initially love having to raise the funds.

  One of my roles is to provide the training to help Bridge Leaders claim a whole new perspective in relating to people who have the privilege to invest in their work. I love watching our Leaders’ eyes light up when they realize how meaningful a role they can have in people’s lives who invest financially in the work of God through their ministry.

  IN WHAT WAYS CAN A PERSON BENEFIT FROM GIVING AND BEING IN RELATIONSHIP WITH BRIDGE LEADERS?

  And I love hearing from our Leaders when they succeed. I received this email from Julie Scott, who presented at a home event this past Sunday night:
