Vacancy: A Cross for Everyone
Who, but the God of all imagination, could take the cross, the most barbaric tool of execution, and turn it into a symbol of hope and faith, a signature of all that is good in the world? There is a wealth of understanding to be discovered in the cross. In the historical account of Jesus’…
How Do You Define Success?
by Gary G. Hoag, Ph.D. How do you define success in your church or ministry setting? In The Choice: The Christ-Centered Pursuit of Kingdom Outcomes, R. Scott Rodin, Wesley K. Willmer, and I suggest that most people define success in one of two ways, and this decision charts a predictable course that sends us down…
Is It Good to Be Radical?
By Rebecca Hays As believers in Christ, if we look at the cross when it comes to generosity, I believe we can never be too radical.

Development Leadership
By Dr. John R. Frank, CFRE There are many aspects to leading and managing a development effort within a ministry. The management aspects are often written about.

Ministries Don’t Need Money! By Dr. Gary G. Hoag

There’s truth in all these, but I’m doubtful about “teaching” stewardship. That’s a role of some excellent ministries, and…
Competition and Kingdom Work By Steve Cummings
There’s No Competition in God’s Kingdom Work I love radical ideas and I love living a radical life for Jesus. I live with strong convictions and a passion for seeking after God’s heart. Even as a MGO, I am called to live radically in my kingdom position of raising resources for God’s work. Can I…
Taking Care of Your Donors By Rick Dunham
According to a Nielsen, 92 percent of people trust recommendations from family and friends above any form of advertising.
