| Hi, Tom, this is Joe Stevens. How are you and the family? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Well, things have been very busy. The kids are growing up right before our eyes. We just got back from vacation. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Where did you go? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Camping at a state park in upstate New York. It was wonderful, away from all the pressures, just with the family. It gave us a chance to grow closer to each other. |

| It sounds like God really blessed your time together. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| He sure did. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Tom, let me tell you why I’m calling. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Sure, Joe, go ahead. |

| Last March, we talked about your financial and prayer support for Reliant and our ministry in Minneapolis. One of the reports I receive from the Reliant office shows the activity of partners like you in the account I am responsible for. And for the last three months it shows no record of having received any gifts from you. I’m calling to make sure your gifts did not get lost in the mail. Would you happen to remember if you had sent in your gifts? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Umm, I think so. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Would it be too much to ask you to look and see if there is a canceled check or a check number for your last gift? That helps us to attempt to locate it, especially if it’s been misplaced. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| You know, I don’t think we’ve been sending it in, because we didn’t have an envelope. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Let me send you an envelope. Also another option to make giving easier is Reliant's donor website. The site enables you to do all your giving electronically through the web, as well as track your giving history and make changes. Would that be of interest to you? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Sure, that sounds great. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Great. I'll send you an email after we get off the phone that gives you instructions for how to go online and sign up. Tom, Reliant has planned their budget to include your gift coming in monthly. Since your gifts were not received over the last two months, would it be possible to send the last two month’s gifts with your next gift? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Sure. That won't be a problem. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Great. When you sign up online you can give a one-time gift to catch up on those months that you missed. When do you think you'd be able to go online and set that up? |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| I'll do that this weekend. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| That sounds great. If I don't see it come in by Monday, I'll plan to give you a call and make sure that you didn't have any problems getting signed up on our donor site. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| That sounds great. |
| Speechbubble | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Tom, we appreciate your help. It’s because of you that we've been able to be so effective in ministry with Reliant in Minneapolis. Thanks again for your help and understanding! |
| Speechbubble | ||

| You’re welcome, Joe, and sorry for the delay. |
