Leading a church to minister with the Poor pt 4. Money

screen-shot-2017-01-04-at-10-57-12In this concluding interview with Andy Cottingham we talk about money.

  • What are the possible sources of funds including the pros and cons of gift days in the church and charitable grants?
  • How to make a ministry sustainable.
  • What about overseas giving? What are the pitfalls and the damage that can be done by unwise giving?
  • What is success?

In these discussions two books are mentioned which I recommend: When Helping Hurts and Toxic Charity. Both address the issue of damage that can be done if giving is not wise.

In concluding this series I want to encourage church leadership teams to watch these interviews again together and apply them to your own situation. Andy raises many questions that you may not have thought of. They should stimulate good discussion and help raise the standard of ministry with the Poor in your church.
