“ISS/MAX was way beyond a blessing to our church. They enabled us to clearly define our vision and to mobilize the entire church around it. The campaign itself gave us a stewardship blueprint. Most of our people are new Christians so they had not reached a place of true integrity in stewardship. As we implemented the ISS/MAX strategies and resources, church involvement went up. Dozens of people who were inactive before became involved in a Campaign Team and are now ser ving in other ministries of the church. People are making sacrifices that I never would have imagined. We have seen awesome spiritual growth and renewal in our congregation. We ended our campaign process with total commitments of over $550,000—nearly five times our annual giving at the time. We are still celebrating!”

“Jim called me about 15 minutes ago with the final number. He asked if I was sitting down. I was. $115,900.00 in pledges!!! God is good. I expected a big number tonight but I didn’t think we would already surpass our goal. Unbelievable... no, believable! What a mighty God we serve. Thank you, Bob, for your part in this. Your support and encouragement have been indispensable. Indeed this is God’s timing. Thanks again.”

NOTE: Corona Valley Friends Church surpassed their goal at the Leadership event where the first commitments were made. As of this writing, they have not yet had their Celebration Sunday when commitments from the entire church family will be given.

“I’m so glad that I was able to be present at Campaign University. You did a fantastic job of clarifying and encouraging. The hospitality of your support staff was welcoming and gracious. Joe’s testimony was inspiring and John Maxwell’s visit was wonderful!”

“Campaign University is near the top of the list when I give thanks for all the blessings of our partnership with ISS/MAX. We covered some serious miles to attend Campaign U, but the trip was rewarded with an incredible blend of inspiration, encouragement and practical guidance. The sessions were lively and led by a team of teachers with real experience to share. The ISS/MAX team’s personal attention to our campaign details built momentum, spared us from making critical mistakes, and added joy and spiritual insight to our leaders’ efforts. I found my head and heart full after each Campaign University session—all I wanted to do was run out and share this great stuff with my people.”
