In a world where more Christian workers are being asked to raise their own financial support, Funding the Family Business offers something uniquely vital: clarity, encouragement, and biblical grounding for a task that many approach with hesitation. Written by trusted advisor and seasoned support-raiser Myles Wilson, this book is not just another manual—it’s a deeply practical and spiritual guide for those navigating the complex journey of personal support in ministry.
Wilson’s experience spans over 30 years of living by support and mentoring others to do the same. This book is built on real-world wisdom and scriptural conviction, helping readers engage their heart, head, and hands—a holistic framework that makes it far more than a theoretical resource. It’s designed as a workbook packed with exercises, stories, and spiritual insights that readers will return to again and again.
The concept at the heart of this book—that support raising is a collaborative act within God's family—is compelling and empowering. It reframes a traditionally uncomfortable subject into a joyful, faith-filled opportunity for mutual blessing. As Wilson puts it, those who raise support are not merely asking for money—they are inviting others to share in the blessings of giving.
With increasing relevance and a growing need for resources like this across mission agencies, churches, and Christian organisations, Funding the Family Business is poised to become a go-to handbook. Publishers who back this work will not only fill a significant gap in ministry training literature but also empower a new generation of Christian workers to embrace support raising with confidence and purpose.
This book will serve not only as a strategic tool—but as an ongoing companion in ministry. It deserves a wide reach, and Logos would be a good electronic platform that is particularly helpful for cross-cultural workers because of its mobility.
