How to plant a church and eat at the same time

Empty Pockets
OK you’re a church planter. You and any dependents need to eat.

How are you going to get the money?

As a church planter: I’ve been a builder’s labourer, an advertising copywriter. I’ve lived on faith and prayer. I’ve had the support of a parent church. I’ve raised support from family and friends. Michelle has worked while I minded the kids. We’ve taken up offerings.

How are you going to get the money?

Any way you can.

God is faithful. Where he calls, he provides.

1. Best book on raising personal support?


“Funding Your Ministry: Whether You’re Gifted or Not” (Scott Morton)

2. Second best book?

“Friend Raising: Building a Missionary Support Team That Lasts” (Betty J. Barnett)

    Hi Steve, Olan Hendrix too, has some good insights about finances in his book “Three Dimensions of Leadership” It’s a pretty good book all round actually! Available from Direction Ministry Resouces: http://www.directionresources.com.au.
