Publisher's summary

As a ministry worker, raising support can be a daunting task. It doesn't have to be intimidating though. It isn't about money or asking people to give. It is about looking to God to provide for you. He has given you a vision for ministry, and now you get to invite others into that vision. Your job is to pray and work hard to discover those whom the Lord has already prepared to invest in you and your ministry. God has done His work. Now it's time for you to do yours.

A case in point: Nehemiah was very nervous about meeting with the wealthiest, most powerful man on the planet. He was asking King Artaxerxes to fund his Jerusalem restoration project. But when it came time to make his appeal, this lowly cupbearer first looked up to the Person who really provides resources. At the moment of truth, Nehemiah lifted his heart and made The God Ask. In Nehemiah 2:4 he describes the exchange: "Then the king said to me, 'What would you request?' So I prayed to the God of heaven."

Instead of going into appointments fearing what your fellow man will say, you can have confidence that God is superintending the whole process. This audiobook will help you embrace the fact that this is not a Man Ask. No. It is a God Ask!

Eye opening

This book truly gave me a new perspective on giving, support raising and ministry budgets. I encourage every missionary to read this. But more than that I think all Christians should read this to understand why and how to give.

Encouraging

Really enjoyed reading this book. Was inspired to go out and pursue Gods calling on my life and to share the vision he has given. Sharing the vision and trusting God for the provision.

3rd time I've read this book just this year.

This book has been a game changer for me and my family. It has encouraged me greatly to really step out on bigger steps of faith.

For pastors - read this it will inspire you to ask for bigger things

For missionaries - read this book twice back to back. Get your spouse to read it and share as you would a great dessert with other missionaries

For young men and women who are just getting into ministry please read this book. It will challenge you in a way your college professors never did. You'll think bigger and see greater potential and find great opportunities that you never saw before.

Biblical truth changes my perspective

Wow! If more people understood what the Bible says about giving like is explained in this book, the Kingdom work would be more than fully funded.

Great book for support raising, very inspiring!

Really prepared my wife and I for going out and raising support for missions. We feel much more prepared now than we did before reading it.
