Fundraising for YD Staff

The staff at Youth Dynamics raise financial support to provide for their personal salaries. One of our staff members said, "Some of the Lord's greatest blessings are revealed in the support raising process." We truly believe that!

By fundraising, you are offering the people around you an opportunity to be a vital part of a ministry. You're offering them a chance to invest in the Kingdom of God. You’re also offering people an opportunity to be involved in missions when they might never go to the mission field themselves.

There are over 2000 verses in the Bible related to our money and possessions. This shows that God is concerned about our finances! Why? Because our attitudes and actions around money directly influence our relationship with the Lord. This pertains not just too how we spend or give our money, but also how we gain our money.

“If it were wrong to be supported by the personal gifts of others, Jesus Christ would not have allowed it in His own ministry…If Jesus became vulnerable enough to be supported by others, you and I must be willing as well.” - Scott Morton (See Luke 8:1-3)

Be assured, we're not going to abandon you to fundraise alone. You'll be coached by YD staff who have raised and are maintaining their own personal support. You will also attend a two-day training through The Body Builders. The “Boot Camp” training will prepare and equip you well for your time of fundraising. (See “Fundraising Materials Provided by YD”)

Ultimately it shouldn't matter what we think or feel about fundraising. What matters most is if the Lord is calling you to this ministry. Is He calling you here, and are you willing to follow His calling? Oswald Chambers has this to say about the apostle Paul and our service to the Lord:
“Paul delighted to spend himself out for God’s interests in other people, and he did not care what it cost. We come in with our economical notions – ‘Suppose God wants me to go there – what about the salary? What about the climate? How shall I be looked after? A man must consider these things.’ All that is an indication that we are serving God with a reserve. Paul focuses Jesus Christ’s idea of a New Testament saint in his life, viz., not one who proclaims the Gospel merely, but one who becomes broken break and poured out wine in the hands of Jesus Christ for other lives.”

May the Lord bless your journey!
