Spirituality of Fundraising

A webinar on funds and fund raising

The Verbum Dei Catholic Missionary Family in Cebu organized a webinar on Funds and Fund Raising and was realized last Sunday, November 28, 2020. The activity was well-attended, and thanks to stable internet signals, it was just like having a good weather that the attendees held on to listen until the last cast had spoken. The topics and the resource speakers were up to their billing. Though not to be outdone were the organizers who kept the audience lively and accorded contributors with generous remarks and certificates of appreciation.

The talk about Financial Stewardship given by Bro. Ric Martinez must have raised the eyebrows of the attendees when he went on to tell the secrets of the billionaires. The Christian financial equation that incorporates biblical component in it, tithes and offerings to please the Lord.

The topic Spirituality of Fundraising and Stories of Giving was well-articulated by Sister Mirasol Abala and Bro. Mario Deriquito. We were enlightened that such activity (fundraising) was essential in a mission, and that it is a necessary component ministry in a religious organization. Similarly, a creative means to raise funds provides an avenue for a cheerful giver to express his or her intent for charity.

Then Bro. Yoyoy finally captured the heart of the digital audience with his emotional discourse on the topic of Tithing. It then elicited a lively interaction from the enthusiastic crowd.
​
The webinar ended with a lot of rich lessons for spiritual reflections. Kudos to the organizers and thanks be to God above all.
