From the perspective of the gospel, fundraising is not a response to a
crisis. Fundraising is, first and foremost, a form of ministry. It is a way
of announcing our vision and inviting other people into our mission. Vision
and mission are so central to the life of God's people that without vision
we perish and without mission we lose our way. Vision brings together needs
and resources to meet those needs. Vision also shows us new directions and
opportunities for our mission. Vision gives us courage to speak when we
might want to remain silent.
