Testimonials
Dr. Sally Haynes, Senior Pastor
“There was an excellent spiritual tone in the campaign that began in our first meeting with Generis. Rusty was extremely flexible and gave good guidance.”
Tim Hughes, Senior Pastor
“It was a privilege to watch God work through Rusty. Thanks in large part to the Generis organization; our campaign was an overwhelming success. I would recommend Rusty to other churches without reservation!”
Dave Blanford, Campaign Executive Director
“I very much appreciate the strong spiritual emphasis that Generis brings. They are very clear that stewardship campaigns are not about raising money, so much as building God’s kingdom. They really helped our leadership team take ownership of that understanding, which in turn shaped every aspect of the campaign.”
Rev. Michael McIntrye, Senior Pastor
“Rusty Lewis was an exceptional consultant, mentor, resource and spiritual guide on our journey. Our church has gained new insight and understanding about the centrality of a ‘lifestyle of stewardship’ in our faith journey.”
Don Long, Senior Pastor
“Our actual pledges have totaled over 3.5 times our annual budget, for which we are very grateful. This success has been due to two factors in addition to God’s grace: First, the well-organized plan set forth by Generis, and secondly, the personable and spiritual leadership of Rusty Lewis.”
Jim Moore, Pastor
“This was my fourth stewardship campaign and it was by far the best!”
Dan Asche, Senior Pastor
“…we appreciated the spiritual emphasis on lifestyle stewardship. The stewardship campaign is about more than money. It’s a part of discipleship. As a result, the campaign became a positive faith adventure for our whole church. We had broad ownership of the project and sacrificial giving that really touched people’s heart. One member expressed it well when she said, ‘I was motivated to give without feeling pressured.’”
