| ok... Im not saying this happened but here's a nice plan for HQ to make some money without the local churches increasing their TOT.Step 1- Launch a project across the denomination. (YWEA, Missions, something like this)Step 2- make this project a huge emphasis for everyone to get behindStep 3- (this is crucial) organize the project where part or all of it involves building some sort of building (ministry center, church, training facility, leadership school, etc)step 4- wait a few years (usually you wait until there is a new or newer crop of council of 18. the time to wait depends so be patient)step 5- run up big time debts in departments all in the name of ministrystep 6- pray and ask God to help deliver you from this attack of the enemy where the devil has oppressed your dept with debt.Step 7- report on how the previous project from step 1 has reached its peak and is now ineffective.Step 8- sell the building that was attached to the project hopefully for more than it cost to build since you built it years ago.Step 9- take the money from the sale of the building and don't put it in ministry but use it to pay off the huge debt the depts incurred.Step 10- thank God for his bountiful blessings. Its a miracleStep 11- rinse leaders- repeat process |
