Swint Joins TCP as Resource Development Partner
Ruben Swint, a stewardship and fundraising specialist for 23 years, has Ruben Swint 001been named a partner with The Columbia Partnership.

Swint will manage the capital fundraising arm of TCP and inaugurate an emphasis on generosity as a part of spiritual and stewardship development.
Since 2001 Swint has been a senior strategist with Generis, helping churches to raise capital funds.

"I want to help Christians realize that God is not only generous, God is extravagant," Swint said. "Christ is the supreme example of God's generosity. Being created in the image of God, each person inherits a spiritual gene that leans them toward generosity. This new resource development ministry will enable Christians to be as generous as they have always wanted to be."
