No matter the size of your church or ministry, raising resources is a relentless challenge. More and more people today have dug themselves into a financial hole, taking on huge debt and living beyond their means. Our congregations are handicapped in their ability to release resources to the church or to the poor and needy, as Christ asks us to do. Senior leaders find themselves in the undesirable position of constantly trying to raise money, not only to keep the ministry afloat, but also to allow it to grow. Believers, even if they want to, find themselves unable to give in a way that honors God.

What can be done to address the resource challenge? At the Resource Challenge Conference, Bill Hybels addressed this topic in an encouraging and helpful message.
