In this first episode of Inspiring Stewards, Nathan Jones welcomes Zenet Maramara from the Philippines. She speaks about the spiritual journey of understanding her role as a steward doing God's work. “It became crystal clear that God called me to be his faithful steward… So I dedicated my life to teaching biblical stewardship. And from then on, fundraising to me was a ministry of transforming hearts and minds, and growing givers who are generous towards God.” She also tells us of the strategic work she did to raise local giving and cease dependence on outside funding. She shows us that sustainability is something anyone around the world can achieve and how GTP can help organizations in this area. Visit gtp.org to learn more.
