If you are AG, want to start a church plant and need $ check out this enewsletter I rec’d today.

Greetings!

I know you are aware by now that Dr. Wood has recognized starting new churches as a core value of the AG fellowship. A powerful evidence of his determination to align our behavior with our values is the Church Multiplication Network Matching Fund. The Matching Fund is based on a simple idea: we can do more together than we can by ourselves. The Matching Fund provides a strategic way to make the most of your fund raising efforts to start new churches.

Here is how it works: every approved Assemblies of God church planting project may apply for the matching funds one time during the planting process. A maximum of $30,000 per project is available. The funds must be used in a manner that maximizes the “start-up” event and therefore, the funds are only available for planting projects that have not yet had their public launch event.

We’ve already funded 21 new churches through the Matching Fund and the results have been phenomenal. In their first 10 months, these Matching Fund churches have led 451 people to faith in Christ and given a total of $92,000 to missions! We are currently looking for 35 qualifying church plants to invest in. If you, your district, or someone you know is involved in a church planting project, it is very possible that the CMN Matching Fund can be a tremendous boost to them. Money is available now, so do not delay. Give us a call at 1.800.447.0427 to discover if the Matching Fund will work for you or for a planting project you care about. Applications can be found on the CMN website. http://CMN.ag.org 

In Christ,
