Through the Compelling Preaching Initiative, Lilly Endowment seeks to cultivate practices among aspiring and active preachers that can help them to proclaim the gospel to a variety of audiences in more engaging and effective ways. Eligible charitable organizations in the United States were able to submit proposals to develop new and/or enhance existing programs that present promising strategies to further the aim of the initiative.
