One magnified several more times!

We had the provilege of meeting a community church during this trip and met the pastor and some of his members.  During this trip, I was also told that there are many many small Churches with membership base of less than 100 - based on my understanding, the minimum number of members should be about 200 in order for the church to not run into deficit.

This church has less than 200 worshippers, hence the pastor has a very modest paycheck.
After reading Evangelpreneur, I am also more aware of how God can use wildly successful businessmen and women to bless His nation.

So when the pastor shared his plans to run a business - which effectively does not take time out from his ministry, I felt it was a good model. It basically is about buying some assets which are in good demand, and renting it out for a fixed amount daily. The people who rent from him can churn additional revenue over and above his rental cost.

In addition, he has also invited a few more church members who are looking at growing their businesses - from the profits, they will then plough back to the church, and the church will onward bless other Churches in the area.  This is not only leading by example, but also magnifying impact hence 1 has become several times more than 1!

The next step for us is to evaluate the businesses further by validating, verifying their projections.... Let's see where this adventure will lead us to as well

Regardless, will pray for their impact in the community too! 👍🏼
