[#92] Is technology killing missionary support raising?

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of maintaining personal relationships in missionary support raising despite the rise of technology.

In a digital age dominated by automation, the "personal touch" remains the most powerful tool for Christian missionaries raising support. Join Mary Valloni and Mike Kim as they reveal why authentic, localized relationships are far more effective than generic outreach for fully funded missions. Discover how successful ministry leaders are leveraging technology—not to replace connection, but to amplify it—using simple strategies like personalized video messages to maintain genuine bonds with partners.
