A few weeks ago in our September email update I shared about how God uses Missionary TECH Team to advance the Gospel around the world (not on our mailing list? Click the "chat with us" button at the bottom of your screen and send us your email). One aspect I briefly touched on is TECHs ability to offer our services for a nominal fee that covers overhead (utilities, supplies, equipment, etc.). We can do this because every staff member at TECH is a faith based missionary (meaning our entire salary is provided by God through individuals and churches giving to TECH). The monies saved by the ministry partner can then be invested directly into the work of the Gospel.
A few years ago Patrick Schnell, my brother-in-law and coworker for Christ at TECH, created an info-graphic to illustrate this impact on a ministry. It helps to make clear how this savings can further impact the kingdom work of the ministries we serve. (Just a note, $1 million for a building project is still a pretty small project!)
If your church was able to save $30,000 or more, how much faster would you be able to raise the funds? What would your ministry be able to do? How many more lives could that impact?
