May 12 — the rhythm breaks GONE QUIET
Faithful weekly, then silence. Flagged — a caring call reached them in a hard season.

memo: "Thank you for the call. For the food pantry."

What Banyen watches for

Easy to miss.
Never missed again.

Every one of these is already in your giving records, waiting to be seen. Reports tell you what happened. Banyen hands you Monday's list: who needs a word from you — this week.

Understand

See what your reports miss
Churches don't lose families loudly. They lose them quietly — one skipped Sunday at a time.

The Quiet Truth drift

Every family tagged by where they are on the generosity journey — first-time, consistent, drifting, lapsed, major. When a family falls off their own rhythm, you know in weeks, not at month six when someone finally asks "whatever happened to the Booths?" You get a short list. You make the call. Because a broken giving rhythm is often a family telling the truth about a hard season — before they've said it out loud. Sometimes the call is the first time anyone asked.

First gift — the Transthank-you ready
3 weeks quiet — the Boothscheck-in call
Unusual gift — the Kellerspersonal call
"How's giving?" shouldn't be answered with a shrug.

The Whole Story board meeting mode

Participation. Per-attendee giving. How concentrated you are in a handful of families. Every metric benchmarked against published giving research and explained in plain English — the analysis big churches staff a whole role for.

GRACE FELLOWSHIP
Somebody gave for the first time last Sunday. Did anyone say thank you?

The First Trust first-time givers

A first gift is rarely about money — it's the moment trust finally reached the wallet. So every one gets a real response. Some pastors mail the letter — on your letterhead, logo and watermark in place, batch-printed with matching Avery labels, in Monday's mail. Some send it as an email. Some just want the name and the story, and make the call themselves. Banyen drafts the words and hands you the who and the why — the how stays yours. Year-end tax statements come from the same data.

A first gift says "I want to belong here." A receipt is not an answer.
A handful of families may carry more of your ministry than you realize. When did they last get a call that wasn't an ask?

The Deep Roots major givers

Quarterly touchpoints scheduled for every major-giving family. An alert the week an unusual gift lands — while a call still feels personal, not transactional. Every conversation logged, so the relationship has a memory.

Disciple

Generosity as formation
"I don't want to know what people give." Good — then don't.

The Conviction Kept hide the amounts

One toggle shows or hides every dollar figure across the entire product. The alerts, the statuses, the call lists — all of it keeps working. Convictions are honored here, not configured around: it's the only giving tool built for both kinds of pastor — the one who studies the numbers, and the one who never wants to see them.

Hide giving amounts — on
Care for the people. The numbers are optional.
Noticing once is easy. Noticing every week is a discipline.

The Weekly Rhythm monday digest

Every Monday morning, one short email: who gave for the first time, who went quiet, whose touchpoint is due. Not a report to study, a list of people to love this week. Formation happens in rhythms, and Banyen keeps the rhythm for you.
