About the Book:
In a world where ministry leaders often face the tension between divine calling and financial limitations, Faith & Finances offers a balanced and biblically rooted path forward. Written by Dr. Joseph Raj, a respected theologian and mentor to grassroots ministry leaders, this book is a comprehensive guide for anyone seeking to fund their ministry with both spiritual integrity and practical excellence.

Dr. Raj begins by laying a strong biblical foundation for financial stewardship, showing that fundraising is not a worldly activity to be tolerated, but a sacred responsibility to be embraced. Drawing on Scripture, he explores how generosity, accountability, and wise planning are central to fulfilling the Great Commission. Through the lives of Moses, Paul, Nehemiah, and modern ministry pioneers, readers discover how God equips His servants not only with vision—but also with the resources to carry it out.

Faith & Finances is not just theological—it’s deeply practical. Readers will learn:

• How to write compelling ministry proposals

• How to identify and approach potential supporters

• How to create transparent and effective budgets

• How to report back to donors with integrity and thanksgiving

• How to build long-term partnerships, not just one-time gifts

• How to remain rooted in prayer and dependence on God throughout the journey

What sets this book apart is its heart: Dr. Raj reminds readers that fundraising, when done with humility and faith, is itself a form of ministry—an opportunity to invite others into God’s work and witness His provision firsthand.

With reflection questions, checklists, sample templates, and real-world case studies, Faith & Finances is ideal for church planters, mission leaders, new ministries, Bible colleges, and anyone stepping out in faith to serve the Kingdom. Whether you're just starting out or reevaluating how your ministry handles support, this book will equip you to move forward with clarity, confidence, and conviction.
