The Lausanne Ministry Fundraising Network (MFN) is inviting Christian leaders and fundraisers from different parts of the world to our upcoming three-day event, ‘Global Roots, Local Fruits: Navigating Polycentric Fundraising for Christian Mission’.
At this gathering we will explore the dynamic and diverse world of fundraising within the Christian context, focusing on the cultural, economic, and spiritual landscapes that shape our global community.
At the heart of our discussions will be the polycentric approach to fundraising. This approach acknowledges that Christians living in different parts of the world have unique values, practices, and preferences when it comes to supporting their churches and mission work.
Through short presentations, small group discussions, and brainstorming sessions, we will delve into the intricacies of this approach, addressing questions like:
- What are some of the cultural perceptions and sensitivities about money and fundraising in different parts of the world?
- What do effective fundraising models and strategies look like in different parts of the world?
- What are the key steps Christian leaders and fundraisers in different economic environments and cultural traditions have taken to grow giving locally?
- What are the essential ingredients and practices for building trust, accountability, and credibility that can pave the way for the involvement of local churches and believers in mission?
- How can we craft fundraising messages that resonate with the cultural and faith values of diverse church communities?
- How can fundraising and Business as Mission strategies work together to reach and inspire more local Christians in developing countries to give generously?
