Starting a Missionary Church
Q: Dear Colin, I am a young man with ambition, and a fine speaking voice. I intend to start my own Pentecostal church, and I would appreciate your advice.
I am unsure as to whether I should begin my mission via a website, or whether it would be best to first gather a suitable number of adherents – enough to sustain me. What is your advice? How did you start?
I wish to be certain that if I put my efforts into this undertaking, those efforts will not be in vain. My mission must sustain me from the start. Is $100k p.a. too much to start with?
Your advice would be appreciated. Tony from Australia
A: Well Tony, you are far wiser than I was at your age, I pushed Jesus away until I was 34 years old.
