Experimental Support Raising

SRT, Support Raising Training, begins in 5 days. I must read People Raising for homework. (Don't read it unless you have to!) They give examples of several 'philosophies' in ways to raise support...

  • Pray alone. Only God should know your needs.
  • Pray and give information about your work, but don't solicit.
  • Pray, give full information, and solicit.
Then they go on to talk about extremes. Pope Clement VI threatened to excommunicate anyone who failed to give. Oral Roberts claimed that God would take his life if a specific amount of money wasn't raised by a certain date. So since I don't have the power to excommunicate anyone, I think I might try for option zwei (that's 'two' in German).

I will die by January 31, 2011 if enough money has not be raised for me and Tyler to be cleared to move to Germany.

You can give here. Thanks.
