Celebrating post #500 ... Thank you ... Thank you ... Thank you
I noticed that today's post is #500 for the Do More Ministry blog. It's been an amazing adventure that has literally catapulted me into the middle of a conversation I intended to simply listen to, not participate in as a co-creator.
I now lead seminars on the subject of sustainable ministry funding and even ended up writing a book about all that we've discussed. This, in addition to, the best part of my job ... getting to work one-on-one with church staff and lay leadership as they craft a strategy and plan for funding the ministry God has called them to accomplish.
I've made many great friends and have been encouraged by all the notes, e-mails, phone calls, and Tweets, this blog has sparked.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you continue to do so. Here's to another 500 posts!
(500 posts since July 2007. Wow! I can't believe it.)

Follow Do More Ministry on Twitter
I saw this comic strip today and wanted to share it with you. (Warning: If you're not a Twitter user, this may not make sense. Double Warning: Not being on Twitter is equivalent to not having a telephone.)
I want to take the opportunity to remind you that Do More Ministry extends beyond this blog. You can follow Do More Ministry on Twitter. While a lot of the information shared on this blog is shared via Twitter, you can also expect to be pointed to many more important articles, quotes, and updates in the world of church stewardship and the larger non-profit development world.
I would welcome your "follow." (Sorry...it's a Twitter thing.)

5 new Del.icio.us links related to stewardship and giving
Below are five new articles added to the Do More Ministry Del.icio.us library. I try to add at least 5-7 articles or links a week. If you see something that I missed or find a really cool article, send it to me and I'll add it to the library.
My hope is that this collection of articles and links related to stewardship and giving will help you be better prepared to lead your church to fully-funded budgets and long-term sustainable ministries.

New Design!
Welcome to our newly redesigned blog on stewardship and giving! (If this is your first visit, then you won't know what it looked like before. But trust me....it's MUCH better!)
We'd love to know your thoughts on the new look and feel.
(Thanks Lauren, from LifeWaystores.com for doing such a great job!)
