This thoroughly revised edition of Funding Your Ministry by Scott Morton provides even more helpful, hopeful guidance for those in ministry fundraising. Expanded in cross-cultural, universal application while deeply rooted in timeless biblical truth, Scotts book provides encouragement and hands-on practical application for those just starting out as well as for the long-termers who may have become weary and disillusioned.
BETTY BARNETT
Author of Friend Raising: Building a Missionary Support Team That Lasts
Scott Morton has produced one of the most practical and needful books that I have ever seen for self-supported foreign missionaries. This is a must-read book for an itinerant missionary. I highly recommend it.
DR. HOWARD FOLTZ
Professor emeritus at Regent University
If you raise support, then Funding Your Ministry is a must-read. Scott Mortons biblical and practical insights hit the bulls-eye on the issues that Christian workers and missionaries wrestle with in raising up financial partners.
ELLIS GOLDSTEIN
Director of ministry partner development for Cru
Whether seeking personal or institutional funding, principles such as face-to-face solicitation and the importance of writing a plan are totally interchangeable. Morton has done all of us in resource development a favor by writing this book. Crafted in a light, airy way, it takes the mystery out of fundraising without taking out the teeth. I intend to refer to it repeatedly in presentations. It has great crossover appeal and application.
CHRIS WITHERS
President of D. Chris Withers, Inc.
This is more than a book on fundraising. Its a book on biblical thinking about money and ministry, and its filled with intensely practical guidelines on how to involve people in your ministry through giving and praying. Im impressed with this guide. It works and has been tested in the fire of experience with hundreds of our Navigator staff. This is the best resource I have seen a must for those who raise financial support.
JERRY E. WHITE, PHD
International president emeritus of The Navigators
Scott Morton is one of the best nonprofit development professionals I have ever been associated with. He has trained more faith-based nonprofit individuals in personal fundraising than anyone.

To Alma, my wife and partner in ministry, who in our first year of ministry asked the question that launched me into biblical fundraising: Are you going to support this family or not? Thank you. Youve made me a better husband, a better father, a better servant of God.
T HIS BOOK DID NOT arise out of a vacuum. Id like to thank especially the gospel-workers from many ministries who had the courage to try my stuff in the early days, then passed it on to others. And...
Rod Sargent (19271987), Navigator pioneer, who encouraged me to put my teaching on video.
Ray Hoo, who suggested that if I was going to teach funding, I should be at 100 percent of budget not 92 percent.
Noel Owuor, who came to my office from Kenya to say, This book doesnt work! And for his partnership and friendship to bring success to Africa.
The international staff of The Navigators, who took a risk to invite me to help slay the Goliath of fundraising.
Finally, Id like to thank my parents, John and Mildred, who taught me to say thank you.
I F YOU ARE in Christian ministry anywhere in the solar system, this book is for you.
Whether you raise personal support, lead a ministry, or pastor a church, you understand the pressure of poor funding. And you know the challenge of staying fully funded month by month, year by year. You also understand the importance of biblical fundraising as opposed to secular best practices. Youve come to the right place.
Why a new edition of Funding Your Ministry? Because in ten years the world has changed and I have changed! The first two editions were written for a mostly American audience, but in the last ten years I have focused on international ministry. I learned a ton that needs to be passed on to you.
International leaders tell me, Scott, this stuff wont work in our culture! Beginning with Noel Owuor from Kenya, who showed up unannounced in my office eleven years ago. This stranger asked if I was the author of
