Giver follow-up process

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about our follow-up process with 1st and 2nd time guests.  I thought I would follow that up with our process for following up with those who give to Freedom Church for the 1st or 2nd time.

We take it very seriously that someone would give of their income to what God is doing at Freedom.  As a result, after a person gives for the 1st time, we try to encourage them to continue in obedience in this area of their life.  Pastor J.R. sends them a letter thanking them for the gift.  We also try to take a few extra steps to show our gratitude.  We also send a document that has some FAQ’s about how money is handled at Freedom.  As a bonus, we also send them a cd of a message that Pastor J.R. preached on the topic of Generosity.

After a person gives for the 2nd time, we send them a pre-printed card that thanks them for the gift, as well as has 4 different giving options.  They also get a cd of a workshop that we did during the DebtFreeAcworth.com series.

Again, we are extremely grateful that people believe in what God is doing at Freedom.  We want to make sure we express that gratitude, as well as encourage them to take the next step in the giving process.
