Comments from Ministry Leaders
 “Our ministry has been blessed through its involvement with Generous Giving. Last year, we had two donors who attended the conference—one increased his commitment from about $300,000 to over $1 million, and another who had given $25,000 in total over a 10-year period made a commitment to give $10 million. What I appreciated most about it was that it affected their hearts and, I must say, mine as well.” — Howard Dayton, CEO, Crown Financial Ministries
