Faith Like a Child

Faith and vision, like a child, go a long way. Many of you are gearing up for that all-important end-of-year push for donations. While you're reminding your donors and other supporters about the importance (and tax implications) of making a gift before the end of the year, remember to think as children, with the kind of wide-eyed enthusiasm for reaching a goal — whether asking God to fix your pastor's broken heart or raising enough money to keep the shelter open, cure a disease, fund a major exhibition — that can only come from not even knowing that failure is an option.
