The recent Creative Funding Forum in Dallas, Texas was an outstanding success for many reasons…not the least of which was that all of the presenters paid their own way to be there! You read that right…take a minute to look at the list of presenters and then pause to consider the fact that they did not receive an honorarium or have their traveling expenses covered...they came to share simply because they love Jesus and are passionate about His Church. Strangely, this sort of selfless sharing is almost unheard of. But when it happens, it is powerful. These presenters acted like they actually believe Luke 6:38...”give and it shall be give unto you…”

So, to all of our presenters at the Creative Funding Forum… THANK YOU! Your sacrificial sharing has enriched our lives and your strong example of selfless sharing has challenged us all to go to another level of “paying it forward” to see God’s Church vigorously established.
