"Our support was declining and we were considering quitting. Myles' intervention and teaching completely transformed our view of support raising and set us on a fresh course with faith and vision"

Steve and Johanna Pillinger, Wycliffe Bible Translators


"When we started looking into serving overseas, we vowed we would never raise our own support. But God had other ideas and soon we found ourselves reluctantly doing so. We then attended a Myles Wilson seminar and our reluctance was transformed into enthusiasm. We haven't looked back since and woudn't change from it now - even if we were given the option."

Liz & Mark Galpin, International Nepal Fellowship

"Several years ago, my wife and I (serving with Wycliffe) were receiving 70% of our target annual budget. We were in a financial hole, and could see no way up and out. I'm delighted to say that, with Myles as our coach, we were able to get to 95% of our budget within 6-9 months. Myles was a wonderful "coach" with a wealth of experience in this field. He not only has a firm grasp of biblical principles that lie behind the whole area of support raising, but has the personal qualities that a coach needs - encouraging all the time, but also prepared to confront and call for change when needed. He nurtured our faith in the Lord's ability to provide, and is a great teacher. He was for us a messenger from God, and we thank God for Him.

John & Heidi Macaulay, Wycliffe Bible Translators


"Interserve has benefited enormously from Myles' training of both staff and mission Partners.  We have learnt not only how to go about raising support but why we want to do it.  Our aim is to develop partnerships between ourselves and churches, mission partners and the projects and ministries in which we serve, both here and abroad, and Myles has helped us to achieve that much more effectively."

Richard Clark, National Director, Interserve England and Wales

"We have published a number of Myles' articles on giving and receiving in our magazine and have received more requests to re-use these in other church and charity publications than any other resource.

Anthony McKernan, Editor Stewardship's Share magazine

"For well over a decade we have used Myles Wilson to train our Latin Link candidates in support raising.  His biblical, practical and enthusiastic approach has been a great help to many new candidates who can often feel unsure if they will ever be able to raise the amounts they need to follow God's call into mission in Latin America.  However, despite some members coming from small churches with very limited finances, in the years Myles has trained our staff we have never had anyone not go to Latin America because they couldn't raise their support.   The foundation that Myles has helped us lay in Latin Link is to see support raising as a genuine way of getting churches, friends and family of our members involved in mission and as a blessing to the supporters where it is more blessed to give than receive."

Alan Tower, Team Leader for Britain and Ireland, Latin Link
