"Friend Raising brings together God's plan for biblical missions support with principles proven in the field. The book is a strong dose of common sense, mixed with that rare spice, respect for the donor, and liberally garnished with the conviction that God supplies needs through mutually satisfying relationships. In a world overwhelmed by fund-raising hype and gimmicks, Betty Barnett presents a refreshing biblical alternative." -- Dr. Carl Armerding, Former President, Regent College
"In Friend Raising Betty Barnett has performed a significant service for all 'faith missions.' This is a valuable tool for anyone preparing to build a missionary support team." -- Bernie May, Former Director, U.S. Division, Wycliffe Bible Translators
