Have you ever thought about fundraising as a form of evangelism? Are you familiar with the idea of cross-cultural philanthropy? Why is it important for Adventist missionaries to understand local cultural patterns of giving?

In today’s interview, you will meet Dr. Lilya Wagner, director of Philanthropic Service for Institutions at the North American Division. She discusses the philosophy and principles of philanthropy and how they can be applied in different cultures. She also talks about her recently published book on the effects of culture, traditions, nationalities, and religion on generosity and philanthropy.
