» How to plant a church and eat at the same time

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.
