When we started talking about the church plant, Erik said, “All the resources in the world belong to God, and if God wants to accomplish something, God will accomplish something.” An average church plant budget is $100,000. Blackman Community Church’s budget is $81,000. What do they need money for? They need money for the facility, for sound equipment, for promotion, for signs, for a trailer to store everything. They think they can accomplish it for $81,000. We’re all waiting to see what God will do.
Here’s what God has been doing to provide for this. The East Tennessee District supports church planting. We have district leadership that supports church planting. The district sent us and Joshua to a church plant training. The District Superintendent told us to raise support from the local churches. They are doing that, but the district said they wanted to support it, too. The district isn’t made of money, but they decided to support this. They gave $10,000 for the church plant. Through the district tour, they’ve raised $685. On top of that, the general church has a scholarship that says if Blackman Community raises $10,000, they will match it. They applied for that scholarship, so they have received that $10,000 from the general church.
Then there’s us. In the words of Joshua Haun, “I am blown away that a church practices such sacrificial, stewardship that this church practices.” We decided to tighten our belts and support the church plant with $20,000. The church board all nodded in agreement. Joshua said, “I got in my car and just boo-hooed. Thank you. Amazing. I truly believe that God is faithful.” Individual pledges have also already been made for over $10,000. Full money raised so far is over $55,000.
We hope you see that from promotion to location to dollars, God has said, “I’m going to grow my church in money, promotion, location and the gates of hell will not prevail. I will build my church.”
Joshua’s original number was $100k. Can we be bold and try to reach that? You can be part of the church giving campaign, too! You can fill out a pledge card, and if you need us to send you one please contact us!
