		<description>Hello there.
In today life it is very hard to start a church without a proper back up and to establish your infidants,is there anyone there who could be willing to support me with public address and pay  for me a meeting place JUST for six months and he or she will be proud of what He or she has done for the Kingdom.

		<description>We are planting a church in our home village in Pilane Botswana (Africa). The name of our Church is progressive Glory International Church. We don't have any finances but the Lord has been providing. Our first meeting was in July 24. we are still in the process of registration. I guess my question or my request is pray for us. :)</description>

		<description>Hi,

I desire to start a church but have no money, no one wanting to attend, no place, or no anything. But I see a great need for people to hear about Christ and to live godly lives. Here in the Pacific Northwest, churches are few and far between (compared to the Bible belt).

I see people want to attract the 20-somethings, the bikers, the post-moderns, the what-evers--I just want sinners to hear about Jesus! The church I attend laid off the pastor and now we have a revolving door of well-intentioned people preaching, but no commitment from a dedicated leader. I've offered my service to preach every Sunday, but since I'm not ordained, they choose not to "settle" with me.

Is this a sign that it's time to start a church? Please advise.</description>

		<description>Well I have read some comments and questions here and I want to add my own comment. I have also been thinking of starting a Church to share the messages I have received.  However, I am not called to Pastor, I am a Prophet, a visionary.  My understanding is that Pastors create Churches, teachers ought to have classrooms and Prophets have Thrones.  Just be who you are and do what you're called to do, put ad in paper, hire a schoolroom and call your Church whatever you like.  Don't procrastinate but make sure you have heard and seen God before you leap.</description>

		<description>Our church has a main branch in Lansing, Michigan.  It is a Vision from to our Pastor, and WE believe for Los Angeles (Culver City), California, that we plant another church.  We are starting from ground zero...we see a need for great ministry out here.  Unfortunately its only one person that is currently located in there area myself.  My Pastor travels EVERY week to come, along with assistance(members), whenever they are available.  I've been here for a month...my faith is NOT broken because I KNOW what God says.  But what steps can I take to assist with getting the word out, getting people in the area to come to our church.  People still don't know we're here.
What steps would you suggest taking in from ground zero?</description>

		<description>Am from Zambia and I will be planting my first church in August 2010. My main problem is funding. There are alot projects that I would like to do for community in which the is going to be planted. We have alot of widows, orphans, jobless youths and the like. I have been active in this community for two years now. I have led so many to Chist and God has been so gracious. We have seen so many miracles, the sick are healed, demon posessed are deliverd and so much more. But I believe that ministry is about finding and meeting the needs. Am looking for finnancial partners. And your faithful advice to how I could raise the funds for the ministry will be apreciated. Please foward your mails directly to my email adress: charlesmulen@yahoo.com</description>
