How to Be Happy Giving Your Money Away
Author: E.M. Clark

The writer of Proverbs counseled, Get wisdom! In the following pages, Dr. E. M. Clark shares timeless wisdom on faith and fundraising. From firsthand experience, I know that it is wisdom that works whether your church has a congregation of 80 or 800. On three separate occasions, Dr. Clark has used these biblical principles to help us experience ... more »miracles and accomplish our goals as a church. We first saw these principles put to work when we needed to purchase ground for our young congregation. While the purchase price of $37,000 was very reasonable, our small congregation did not have the money for that kind of purchase. Through Dr. Clark s willingness to set an example in his giving and by encouraging others to do the same, the necessary funds were raised within two months. In fact, we were able to purchase the land debt free. Shortly afterward, our congregation, which was meeting in leased office space, decided to build a permanent building. We called on Dr. Clark to help us direct and plan our fundraising effort. That weekend was truly one of the outstanding weekends in the history of our church. At the close of the service, as the pledges were totaled, the pledged amount grew higher and higher. As the pledges came in, the people were applauding and cheering. Our congregation of 150 people raised $120,000 in one year commitments! I must add that until that time, I had never been a part of a fundraiser where people were so excited and happy about giving their money. Within two years, our church again needed to raise funds for a new building and asked Dr. Clark to help us with the project. Privately our goal was to raise $400,000. With just one month of preparation and by following Dr. Clark s instruction, we were able to raise an amount that exceeded our annual tithes and offerings. On that weekend in January 1994, Dr. Clark helped our congregation raise - not $400,000 - but almost $700,000 in one year commitments! Following this last capital fund weekend, it has been such a delight to see God working financial miracles in the lives of those who stepped out in faith. The result has been twofold: there is an excitement that pervades our services; and within the first five weeks, we have seen over $107,000 given toward the building. This book could change your ministry. The principles we have learned from Dr. Clark have not only helped our church raise money to purchase land and construct the building, but they have resulted in a dramatic increase in our regular giving. Proverbs 11:24 says, One man gives freely, yet gains even more . . . (NIV). As you read this book you will see how that can be true in your life and in your church. If you apply these principles, you will never be the same. John Lindell, Senior Pastor James River Assembly of God, Springfield, Missouri .
