Pioneers and church councils who want to get started with new missionary or diaconal initiatives can use the new online learning environment lerenpionieren.nl. Here are teaching modules based on the knowledge and experience accumulated in the Pioneering Learning Community, among others. You can follow the modules for free and independently.
Module 12 - Financial sustainability
The Learning to pioneer modules cover twelve key themes. Six of them have to do with building a new community, the other six deal with practical matters. Each month we highlight one. This month's latest: financial sustainability.
Where do you get the money from? A pioneering place must not only have a viable mission, but also be financially sound. There must be a good balance between spiritual trust and responsibility. Financial choices must also be morally sound: cheap choices must not come at the expense of justice or humanity. Not the most inspiring topic, but important!
In the module on financial sustainability, you will find the orientation video below, materials for the discussion leader, basic and in-depth materials.
Team evangelisation for help
The missionary consultants are there for you if you have questions or need advice. Team evangelism is there to inspire, equip, advise and guide our churches and pioneer sites. In doing so, we draw among other things on this offer from the Pioneering Learning Community, a partner we have been working closely with for some time.
