One person gave me a frequent flyer ticket so I could go to the Christian Coalition's Road to Victory conference in Washington last September. I'm slowly learning to ask for donations. When I realize that the cause is bigger than me, it becomes easier.
Specific things are easier to ask for, like money for a computer, or to travel to a conference.
There is no giving there. Also, maintain vigilance. Stay with it. Don't give up. First published in the April 1996 issue of Freedom Writer.
