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)
