The Why Vision Worksheet
I produced a playbook called Say Yes to Easter Giving. You can find out how to get a copy at https://acts17generosity.com/store/. Here is my Vision Worksheet from the current edition.
After deciding what the focus of your Resurrection Offering will be, use the following points as a guide for developing the story of that mission or ministry. The story illustrates the vision of our focus, showing the why or value of a gift.
Step One: List 3 things accomplished through our focus mission/ministry. You want to point to “wins” that show the impact of giving to your church. You want to show them that giving has influence. Think of ways to communicate this across all platforms.

Step Two: List 3 things you want to accomplish from now to summer. Focusing on any missions and ministry coming up allows donors to make a difference with their gifts. You want to show them that their gift now can and will make a difference. How best to tell this story?
