El Pedido Divino

by Steve Shadrach

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 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 "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 book will help you embrace the fact that this is not a Man Ask. No. It is a God Ask!

Reviews

[Israel Hernández]

Cualquier persona que sirva en el llamado al ministerio de misión cristiana a tiempo completo dentro de la Iglesia o desde una organización/programa paraeclesial tiene que leer este libro. Es buen recurso base para tener una visión más clara y bíblica sobre el sustento para el desarrollo del ministerio. El paradigma y las herramientas (puede que aunque no de acuerdo con algunas) son realmente útiles y confrontan la manera en que se ha estado llevando a cabo el ministerio cristiano y cómo la falta de un sustento y saber cómo hacer el “Pedido” de tal a llevado a muchos misioneros a declinar en su llamado o vivir una vida que lastima a sus familias o ministerios. De Dios son los recursos, no debemos temer al llamado de hacer lo que Él quiere y pedirle a Él para llevarlo a cabo, sea Él quien mueva los corazones de las personas que reconozcan la necesidad.

The author teaches how to fundraise based on the bible and multiple examples that we can find on it. As missionaries we don't have to feel shame or have bad thoughts about it because the point is not to ask for money but rather invite our friends, relatives and contacts to contribute to the great commission with their resources and have a truly and eternal impact in our ministry

Mi perspectiva del levantamiento de sustento cambio mucho con el libro.
