That's a good hunk of the support. I responded that if the Church followed the three points that I offered, we would have more money than we could use. It would be like Moses having to tell the people to STOP bringing supplies for the building of the Tabernacle. I believe we mobilizers often shoot ourselves in the foot. I promote support for members first but NOT only members.
Boomers know things have short lives.
Most candidates do not have large numbers of churches to go to and minister in, otherwise they would not hit the doldrums. If anyone knows of churches begging for missionaires, please let us know. That is, less than half of the members tithe. Interesting that the Mormons are up to their ears in businesses but the families send out the missionaries, not the business. Chris asks about churches doing ch planting and partnerships.
