#3-18 Partnership ~ Church Plant
#3-17 Partnership: Hartford, CT (Church Plant) Living Faith Church wants to worship in a facility in which it can generate earned income to sustain the ministry. Although donations from weekly visitors and
members are accepted, the socioeconomic climate of the neighborhoods where the church plant is located suggest
4
earned income and donations from non-local partners will be necessary for sustaining ministry activities. With that in mind, they would like to purchase and rehab a multifamily building with ample meeting space in the lower level for weekly gatherings, fellowship and community activity. The residential portion of the building will be rented to cover operating costs of running the building, pastoral support and other church expenses. They could use mission teams to assist with VBS and other evangelistic events as well. Contact: William Clark at [email protected] or 863-512-2947 ____________________________________________________
