I am a member of Baker Memorial United Methodist Church in Saint Charles, Illinois. I am currently president of the church’s Board of Trustees. In that role I have been blessed to work closely with, and get to know our consultant, who is leading our “Opening a New Door” capital campaign. We have already surpassed the million-dollar mark, which is more money than has ever been raised at one time in the history of our congregation. We have quite a way to go, but as I said in my testimony to the congregation during our worship service yesterday, we can already consider our efforts a huge success. Much of the credit for this goes directly to the consultant. He is a perfect fit for our community, and I am so glad that we chose JD Klote & Associates to administer our capital campaign. I stepped up and volunteered to visit my fellow members, but I readily admit that I dreaded doing so. After attending the consultant’s reassuring and thorough training session, and after he mentored me during our first few visits together, I can truthfully say that I am comfortable doing the visits and even look forward to each and every one of them. In closing, thank you for being such a great resource for our church, and thank you for pairing us up with the consultant. He is a superstar and has brought so much to our ministry, and both he and your company have been essential elements of our evermore-successful campaign!
