Is Your Budget Robbing You of Ministry?

The normal conversations around typical churches on Mondays include topics about Sunday; who was there, who was not, what was good, what was not, and more. You may also find that "machines" like copiers and such are also included. Did they work? How old are they? Can God save a machine?

In preparing for your budget data collection, let me challenge you to examine the contracts and leases on your office machines!

Did you know:

• The average church spends more on interest in leases than it does in Children's Ministry?
• The average church spends twice the price for leases on copiers than the copier really costs?
• Have you thought about those postage machines? Think about them!

Good stewardship needs to begin in the office of our churches. As churches struggle to provide the funding for needed ministry and pay the ministers what they should, a great place to look for adjustments can be found in the office leases and service agreements. You might be surprised how much your church can save, and thus put into real ministry, without sacrificing in the area of needed equipment.

Two churches in the past (3) weeks have saved over $30,000 over 5 years in these areas and are now putting that money into reaching and ministering to people. The benefits of living STEWARDSHIP in the office will bless you and your ministry more than you can imagine.
