Probably not what you think.
Most high-capacity people don't need another person telling them how successful they are.
They know what they've accomplished.
And they certainly don't need another relationship built around what they can provide.
What many of them desperately want is something surprisingly simple:
a pastor.
Someone who knows their family.
Someone who prays for them.
Someone they can call when the company is struggling, the marriage is hurting, the diagnosis comes back, or one of their children is making terrible decisions.
Success doesn't eliminate pain.
Money doesn't prevent cancer.
Influence doesn't guarantee healthy children.
And wealth certainly doesn't answer the deepest questions of the soul.
In fact, extraordinary success can create a unique kind of isolation.
Who can they trust?
Who would still be there if the company disappeared tomorrow?
Who isn't trying to sell them something?
Who will tell them the truth?
That's where a pastor has an incredible opportunity.
Be present.
Be consistent.
Be confidential.
Be spiritually courageous.
And don't become starstruck.
Some of the most meaningful ministry you'll ever do with a high-capacity person may have absolutely nothing to do with money.
It may happen beside a hospital bed.
At a funeral.
During a crisis with one of their children.
Around a dinner table.
Or during a quiet prayer before they make a major business decision.
Those moments build something no fundraising strategy can manufacture.
Trust.
Then when you eventually talk about generosity, the conversation rests on a completely different foundation.
You're not the fundraiser calling the donor.
You're their pastor talking with them about stewardship.
That's exactly where the conversation belongs.
High-capacity people don't need pastors who are impressed by their success.
They need pastors who care about their souls.
Give them that.
