The Power Of A Dollar Bill
I've been following closely the efforts of a friend who is raising funds for a diciple-making movement in St. Louis and Kansas City. He is finding men and women from various places who are willing to quit their jobs, sell their homes, move to these cities through incredible steps of faith and give their lives to helping people find new life in Christ. Finding the money to help put food on these family's tables is proving to be difficult work. With all of the resources that we have here in the wealthiest nation to ever occupy the face of this planet, you'd think we could do better.
I did some math in the shower the other morning. The steamed-up shower curtain makes a good dry-erase board...or would it be a wet-erase board?
Anywho...
George Barna believes that 4% of the American population are truly Biblical followers of Christ. That comes out to about 12 million people.
Out of those 12 million people, if only 8% of them (100,000) would give $1 (yes...one dollar) per month, we could finance 12 church plants each year with $100,000 each.
Bob's vision is to plant 30 new churches between the two cities. If we could somehow harness this power of one dollar bill, he could fully fund this vision in 2 1/2 years.
I believe in the work that Bob is doing in Missouri. If you can give up at least one bottle of Coke per month to help this work, please do. Here are the instructions for you to help:
