Financing apostles (3)

In the video below, I introduce a new model or new way of thinking about financing "an army of church planters". Actually, it's an old model because it represents what the church valued before she became enamored with buildings.

In addition to the video there are two other resources that I want you to take a look at.

1. This is a commentary that I wrote on 1 Corinthians 9:1-14 which is a central passage for this discussion. Understanding these verses created my conviction that these New Testament practices must be restored in our day. http://www.lk10resources.com/uploads/1/4/3/5/1435936/financing_apostles.pdf

2. Here, Roger Thoman, a very effective trainer of church planters around the world, tells his own story of financial support. http://www.lk10resources.com/uploads/1/4/3/5/1435936/finances__roger_thoman.pdf

Our goal in all of this? To return church culture to the normative NT model. We'll be experimenting with this concept this summer in MRT 2.0. Love to hear your comments below.
