Developing A Biblical World View

-Budget:

Make plans to increase the percentage of the budget that goes to missions and evangelism. For example, use the following chart to challenge members of the church:

If each member gave _______ a day for missions, we would give (membership _____x 365 days times amount given by each daily___) a total of _________ a year.

For example, in the United States if each member of a church of 200 gave 10 cents a day for a year, the church would have a total of an extra $7,300.00 for missions.

Examine your current budget. What areas might be trimmed to allow more funds to be channeled to missions and evangelism? Determine the percentage of funds to go to local, national, and foreign missions.

-Resources:

Reorganize the resources of your church to emphasize missions and evangelism. Resources include people, finances, equipment, and facilities. Determine how you can best use your resources to achieve your plans for evangelism.
