The Plant, Manchester: "Going Well; Going Bust"
05/12/10 20:53 Filed in: 2 Corinthians
One of my very best friends* took up a senior post at this church in Manchester a year ago and it appears to be going really well. The problem is that it needs to be financially self-sustaining if they want to continue teaching the Gospel.
This inevitably means more people joining, so that more people can give and shoulder the burden. These guys are doing a fab job, so if you remember them, please pray that the Lord will add stable givers who can help carry the burden.
Anyways - here is an illustration for the site's leaders blog, conveying the idea of a church bursting at the seams, but with genuine treasure within.
*did I mention that he was one of my best friends? Actually he also led me to the Lord and was/is responsible for much of my discipleship. I hestitated to mention that at the start because I wanted to give a positive impression...
