Grace Rivers Development – August 25, 2008
Grace Rivers Development
Like any other ministry work, it takes resources to build Grace Rivers. I have been consulting with several wonderful advisors who have helped me to see that first of all, Grace Rivers has a tremendous potential. They have also helped me to see the need to plan for that potential with smaller steps of development and action
In our discussions they have shown me that to build it right, Grace Rivers will likely need a financial underwriting for it to grow. This overwhelmed me and challenged me at the same time. I never looked to develop another fund raising endeavor, trust me! When I left Love In Action, I just wanted to minister to people.
But in this last four months, God has made it clear that life just isn’t that simple but most of all, he has shown me that finances are one way He invests His people in His process! This was a great reminder of all that I have learned through the years.
I had one opportunity to talk with someone recently about Grace Rivers because I was seeking advice on financial matters. It proved to be a great opportunity to share what the Lord was doing in His kingdom. The spiritual economy of finance has some significance to the process and I have made myself willing to follow the Lord with this in mind
Pray for inspiration as I develop more of the financial plan of action necessary to lay the foundation for Grace Rivers.
Grace Rivers Structure
As I seek the Lord for how to structure Grace Rivers it is apparent to me and others that I will need to develop a 501C3 non-profit corporation to lay the foundation of Grace Rivers.
Pray for:
- Wisdom in the initial applications, bylaws and board members
- God’s selection of legal consultation to assist in this process
- Clarity on how to define Grace Rivers at this pivotal juncture of development
