If you weren’t there, the Funding Your Ministry Symposium gathered over 100 coaches from 48 ministries around the world including The Navigators, InterVarsity, Cru, FamilyLife, Wycliffe, and YWAM. They coach people raising money for their own support so they needed a no-nonsense approach to fundraising and coaching fundraisers. Marc was invited to give a series of lectures that would help them be more effective in both coaching and fundraising. This page contains links to those talks.
