Description: Whose Offering Plate Is It? by J. Cliff Christopher If you want people to give, offer them a compelling vision of how their giving is going to build Gods kingdom. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In Not Your Parents Offering Plate, Clif Christopher challenged churches and pastors to take a lesson from the leaders of not-for-profit organizations: if you want people to give to your church, first offer them a compelling vision of the good that their giving will accomplish. The book encouraged an entire culture change for many in the Christian community in how they viewed the offering plate.

"How do I explain a meeting with just those who are strong givers without alienating those who are not?" "How can we advocate online giving without encouraging some to abuse their credit cards?" "What should letters to different giving constituencies look like?" Author Biography Christopher founded the Horizons Stewardship Company in 1992 following a challenging career in pastoral ministry.
