The Money Raising Seminar Notes

Lecture notes from Les Norman, the founder of the DCI Trust which has been giving global support for the world of mission since 1985. This outline is based on almost 30 years of releasing funds to live with and a great deal more to give with, without making appeals or asking for offerings. Click here for the seminar notes and make contact to have this seminar in your locality.

One Day the Beggar Died 

One of our partners in a poor country was very upset a couple of weeks ago. He is a good man and on this occasion he had spent a lot of his wages from his job to put on a free DCI teaching seminar for leaders and pastors but curiously instead of gratitude he had men lining up to ask him to pay them a few dollars a month and for this he could put his name or ours over their churches. Some would not even take no for an answer and he didn't know what to say. Sadly the same problem comes the way of these pages quite often, and if you click on this page you can read some of things we say in reply, for right or for wrong.


DCI has never been a fund-raising organisation nor do we make appeals, send out magazines or ask for offerings, rather we are a gathering point for people who feel called to giving and to generosity for the benefit of the last, the lost and the least of the world.
