**A succinct and powerful witness that fundraising is a form of ministry and can
be a deeply spiritual experience.**

“Fundraising is, first and foremost, a ministry,” best-selling author and renowned
spiritual teacher Henri Nouwen writes.

“It’s a way of announcing our vision and inviting other people into our mission.”

Nouwen encourages us to see fundraising as spiritual work and approach it confidently.

“Fundraising is precisely the opposite of begging,” he points out. Unlike most business/
leadership books, _A Spirituality of Fundraising_ is brief and can easily be read
in one sitting.
