Great To Meet You!
I have always had a heart for the marginalized and struggling.
I have been in the fundraising space since my youth. I discovered the profound impact of finances on my dreams as a financially poor pastor. I learned that the poorest way to help the poor is to be poor.
Selah. Pause and think about that!
This struggle to help as many people as possible led me to pioneer Visionary Fundraising, a six-step approach that transforms fundraisers into visionary magnets for resources.
This paradigm shift challenges the norm, emphasizing attracting, not chasing funds to ignite change.
My Story
I dedicated my life to God as a teenager. Then, always a champion for the struggling, I became a pastor. As a pastor that I learned that you don't get to change much of the world without money.
Studying the Proverbs of Solomon, I learned that chasing money is like chasing birds:
Don't exhaust yourself acquiring wealth; be smart enough to stop. When you fix your gaze on it, it's gone, for it sprouts wings for itself and flies to the sky like an eagle.
Proverbs of solomon, 23:4-5
Solomon compares chasing money to the futility of chasing birds. Like birds, money seems to have wings. The more you chase it, the more it flies away.
You don't chase birds; you attract them.
You don't chase money; you attract it.
When you don't understand the superpower of being visionary, you will believe money is the answer. You will chase it, you will be exhausted, and your visionary song will be unsung.
To your visionary journey!
My Values
"Why" is a big deal.
Who am I and why do I do what I do?
It has to do with my deeply held values.
My values define who I am and why I do what I do.
Like you, my values give me clarity when life becomes complex.
01
Faith In God
Faith in God forms the cornerstone of my worldview, guiding me through life's uncertainties with a sense of purpose and hope. It instills in me a profound sense of belonging and connection to something greater than myself, offering comfort and strength in times of need.
02
God Loves People
Long before you and I were born. Long before the earth or man was created, God fell, head over heels in love with humanity.
Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, and had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Ephesians 1:4 The Message
03
Personal Growth
Continuously seeking self-improvement and knowledge, and embracing challenges as opportunities for learning and development is as necessary as breathing. Personal growth emphasizes the journey of discovery and the pursuit of excellence in all facets of life.
04
Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is the fuel that drives passion and energy for life, inspiring us to approach tasks and goals with excitement and dedication. It's about finding joy in the process, motivating others with our positive outlook, and never losing sight of the wonder that everyday moments can hold.
05
Storytelling
Storytelling allows us to become a voice for the voiceless, share experiences, convey values, and build empathy among diverse audiences. It enriches our lives by preserving history, entertaining, educating, and inspiring action.
06
Fundraising is Divine
Giving is divine and bringing the giving opportunity to people is a holy event. How believers handle their money and possessions is of paramount importance to God. The Bible devotes 500 verses to prayer, less than 500 on faith but over 2,000 verses to money and possessions.
