Author Description

Helping stewards to mature in the grace of giving is the mission of International Steward. They have come to realize that the young emerging church around the world faces two realities; one very encouraging and the other very debilitating. The encouraging news is that the potential for reaching millions in their own culture rests securely in the lives of nationals in settings of ministry leadership. These are men and women with exemplary dedication and unending commitment. The debilitating reality is that the potential in these remarkable people lies dormant, unusable because of the economic dependence that has accompanied the birth of the emerging church. By default, this young church has become dysfunctionally co-dependent. Accompanying its birth has been the development of an unintended ecclesiastical welfare system...and her people are robbed of the "grace of giving." This book is designed to be the supplemental text and the workbook for the Leadership through Biblical Stewardship and Fund Development seminar offered by International Steward. To get the most out of this text, you really should be a participant in the workshop. Following the workshop, you will be able to refer back to this book throughout your ministry.
