Testimonials
Kansas City, MO
“Although we exceeded our goal, the campaign process with the For the Greater professionals went well beyond just raising money. They brought us through a process that not only put the Church as center of parishioner’s lives in a material sense but a spiritual sense as well. The effect upon the parish was an awakening as to the true responsibility to the next generation. We remembered our past and shared the vision of our future. Yes, we hit 132% of our goal. More importantly, this campaign strengthened the bonds of the parish family”.

"It’s been my pleasure to have worked with Lois Akers. I was very impressed with the level of interest and professionalism she took in our parish, the questions she asked, the attention to detail, but most of all her passion for promoting the mission of the church.”

"As a priest from Kenya, I wasn’t sure how the campaign would work. But this process brought our parish closer together; personally and spiritually.
Our parishioners united with
a common purpose and a shared vision. We raised almost 10 times annual giving and look forward to building our new church together, For the Greater Glory of God thanks to Joe and Lois Akers for their great support, encouragement and love to drive the campaign to its success. When God is with us who can be against us?"
