ABOUT THE EVENT
- AUG. 8, 2024
- GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
South Barrington, IL - 12:00 PM
Let’s face it. Fundraising is a big part of a pastor’s job, but it’s not often the best part.
In this short conversation between friends, Bob Merritt, former senior pastor of Eagle Brook Church in Minnesota, sits down with his good friend Fred Martin, a portfolio manager who has been a major donor to the church ministry. They’ll discuss the heart behind a major gift, how to engage a person of wealth in meaningful ways, and the best way to effectively engage in important fundraising conversations.
Lunch & Swag Bag Included!
