Every church planter (except for those millionaire planters) have to fundraise to some extent. Some more then others, but it’s still a necessary part of starting a church from scratch. With that said, just wanted to share some fundraising tips for all you church planters or church planter-hopefuls out there:
- This might sound very basic, but I can’t express how necessary this one component is. Before you ever look to raise any kind of money, give your fundraising to God. Make sure your efforts are concentrated with prayer. Understanding God’s role in raising funds and involving Him in that process is critical.
- Make sure your vision and purpose for planting is clear. There’s nothing worse for a pastor then to have a guy sitting across the table asking for money and not having a clue what he’s going to do with it. Know your vision and know how to communicate it with passion & conviction.
- Once you’ve prayed and have clear vision for your church plant, begin to look for financial partners. This might be a healthy church in the area mothering your plant (ideal). It might be a number of churches investing finances and people into the formation of this new church. It could be a number of individual donors that believe in your vision. One of the more popular fundraising routes today is planting through a church planting network (or denomination). You can oftentimes receive more funds this way, but there are usually stipulations. The best thing to do, though, in finding financial partners is to use various combinations of these sources. Multiple sources will ensure more stability.
- If you’re having trouble finding financial partners, try breaking your expenses down. For example, rather then asking a pastor to give $50,000 toward planting your church, you ask him if his church could purchase a video projector for $3,000. This not only makes things more manageable for a money-conscious pastor, it also is a more tangible investment for a church or investor.
- One last thing…remember, if God has called you, He will provide!
Anything you would add?

Great post! I would also add to not be afraid of asking your launch team to sacrifice financially. During pre-launch phase, I asked each of them to pray about what God would have them give. Then I passed a basket around our living room and asked them to drop a piece of paper in the basket with no name, but the amount that they were committing to give. It enabled us to have an idea of how to budget.
We also, had a “baby shower” for our plant. We selected various items that we needed, and put an album together where friends could click on an item and purchase it for our church. Every little bit helps, and that’s a way for your launch team to spread the need to their contacts as well.

Dear in Christ,
Greetings in the matchless name of Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
we are seeing your website very useful our ministry
Our ministry area is in Coimbatore the District in Tamilnadu State . We are involved in various ministries.
We conduct personal prayer two days in a week. Lot of people belonging to various religions participates in the meetings. Many were delivered from various problems through this ministry.
This prayer meeting is conducted in a rental building. Once a month we gather together and pray for the revival in India and the blessing of the people in our city- this is a fasting prayer. Many people participate for these prayers. Many received miracle healing and deliverance from the clutches of demon.
Once in a month we conduct a fasting prayer in a auditorium. Every week on Sundays evenings we have prayers for the people who were under the bondage of various problems (deliverance meetings). Even the heathen people participate in these meetings. We have lot of testimonies. We will share with you in the near future for the testimonies.
Once a year by the grace of God we conduct a Deliverance festival (Crusade meetings) in a big open ground. Thousands of people attend in the meetings.
We were invited to preach the gospel in many churches. We go by a team and conduct the meetings.
These are the various kinds of ministries. We trust in God and do the ministry. We fully depend upon God and our ministry is a faith ministry… God provides all our needs.
As the ministry is growing fast and at present we are conducting the meeting in rental building we pray earnestly to God to have a own land and construct the church, that would help us to bring more people into the vineyard. We pray to God and you can assist our ministry as the Lord leads you.
Our future vision is to have the following ministries:
1. To start orphanages for the poor and needy children.
2. To start village ministry – preaching the Word in the interior villages and hamlets where there is no gospel.
3. Television ministry – presenting the Word of God through Television.
4. Hill tribe ministry. There are many tribal areas adjacent to Coimbatore city.
5.Widow and aged people orphanage
6.To start prayer cell
7.students education help
8.Pastor’s and Evangelist fellowship
9.Woman’s ministries
Please uphold our ministry in your prayers. Please pray for our ministry.
May the Lord use you mightily in India and save a group of people through your ministry. We pray that God would use you ministry throughout world. We uphold you, your family and the ministry in our prayers. Kindly pray for us.
looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear All in Christ,
I was baptized on 15-August-1998. Since than I have a fire to work for God. I have walked long distances in Orissa & Uttar Pradesh to preach the gospel of Jesus and distributing literature. I also conducted free classes for poor for teaching computer education and Spoken English. Along with this every Saturday, I used to conduct Bible Classes and Prayer. 90% of the students were unbeleivers (Muslims, Hindu etc). I believe that this was one Good way of preaching Gospel. But because of financial problem Like paying rent, Electricity Bills, distributing Bibles had become problem for me because my income is not enough. I have to maintain my family also.
Who ever reads this, Kindly pray and suggest me how to raise funds for maintaing all these. I do not have any denomination problem also. I can work with any denomination. My aim is to preach the Gospel of Christ by means of free education to poor and down trodden people.
Please someone guideme.

Subject: Request to start a New Church / New Ministries
SERVING GOD WHOLE HEARTEDLY SINCE 1987
Dear Brothers, Sisters & Respective Elders,
With lots of good wishes of Christmas and New Year 2010, may peace of God’s power be upon you always and I wish all the best for the gospel work and I also encourage each one of you to grow in spiritual faith everyday. Deep in the word in knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord.
My Name is S. Balarama, I live in India with my family, I speak English & Tamil, i have 4 kids and other family members. I have done my Bible Graduation from World Bible College (Chennai-1987) I have preached and planted many ministries in and around South India, in villages and cities. Many have turned from the sins. My passion is to lead people to Christ in my life.
Brothers and sisters i want to multiply my gospel work by planting new Churches and ministries in and around South India and North India with the team of my fellow Christian friends, therefore i required help, financial help and i am looking all around the world and emailing all of you . I believe that you can surely help me to plant a new church in India.
The plan:
1. We are few friends who are passionate to preach the word of God all over India.
2. The foundation of our Church will be evangelism, inviting new friends to church service and teaching them Bible convincing them by the reality of the Bible to become disciple of Christ.
3. Our goal will be minimum 5 baptism every month
4. We will be conducting 2 house meetings (Devotionals) during the week like on Tuesday & Friday and then Sunday worship service.
5. Everyday evangelism plan will be followed.
6. Every day teaching disciples the Bible etc.
The expenses will be for the followings:
1. Church Place (We have to buy)
2. Conveyance for the members who come from remote places
3. Communion Set up
4. Financial Help of the poor members of the church
5. Daily ministry expenses (snacks, tea, coffee)
6. Evangelism & stationary expenses (invitation card to invite people for church and songs books to be printed)
7. Money to buy Bibles
Minimum Budget to run this Church
The amount will come around Rs. 30,000/- Indian currency per month
Euro Around = 500 per month
American dollar around = 600 per month
Note: The Church building will be rented only. If we buy land and build the amount will vary the place and materials etc. etc….
Place of the Church will be a rented auditorium in a normal town like Chengalpattu Tamil Nadu (India) or Mahabalipuram (a Tourist Place near Sea Beach at Tamil Nadu India). If we start our Church in a Metro city the charges for the hall may be calculated later.
Please help me start my service through this Church. Please let me know. I will be very grateful to you and your fellow church members.
Dear brothers in the name of the living God I pray that my request will be accepted by you and the name of the Load will be glorified through our join partnership of gospel. If you require any other details please fee free to ask me.
I am waiting for your kind help to start God’s Work in India
In the service of the Lord Jesus, Amen

Thank you for your reply, sorry for the delay.
I was born in a hamlet at Karnataka state. With much pain and poverty he was grownup and became a scholar cum social worker in his young age. In the age of 20 years he came to Chennai and wandered here and there for a job.
Finally as it has already been decided by God, the founder was led to be joined in a bible school, Chennai, where he completed 3 years diploma course in theology and became an graduation preacher who preached across Tamilnadu and Kerala regions, among the poorest Non-Christians who were taught about glory of Christ and brought to receive Jesus Christ as their Xavier.
Finally, s.balarama of CFI was thrown up by the paul renganathan of bible school, Chennai, since i had not agreed their unrighteous ministry against God. So, i and my poor family suffered much, without any kind of support.Afterwards the i established his own Congregations and children’s home at Chengalpattu with much untold misery and pain

YANIDHI COMMUNITY
—————–
During our annual convention meetings I was staying in a lodge in Rapelli,Guntur District AP. From the balcony I just peeped down the street, here I saw two little girls dirty and barely clothed searching for food in the gutter waters of the lodge. This water was an open drainage for the entire street. Such was their hunger and desperate need; these girls were searching for something to eat in black gutter waters. To my anguish I saw one of the girls find a gooseberry from those dirty gutters. She just wiped it in her clothing and started to eat. Latter these children moved to a near by open trash can where there were some pigs searching for food. These girls also joined along with them searching something to eat. My heart was broken and burdened for these children. I enquired about them from the lodge manager and found out that they belong to a particular community called Yanadhi community. Immediately I sent my assistant to get more details of this community. I also personally went to the hamlets where they lived.
In twenty First century in modern era where India is marching towards great economical freedom this community people have never been to school. They live on the river banks and canals of Andhra. They hunt rats and fish for survival. The male folk plant coconut trees for rich landlords. They live in a very unhealthy and unhygienic situation. Pigs and people live together. And they are treated as untouchables in the community. Most of the children had sores and unhealed wounds in their body. Immediately we went village after village talking to the village heads to send their children to school. Some of the village heads refused to send them to school saying if their children went to school instead of catching rats it will be a curse on the community. We started a home with a passion for these children and to see their lives transformed, now there are more than 25 children in this home under the care OF US.
For the first time this children sleep on mats, have pillows, use tooth brushed, wear slippers, watch television, drink safe water, wear good clothes, go to school in dignity and above all get to know there is a loving Savoir behind.Please pray for this kids and our good work for the lord.Brothers and sisters Please tell to your friends and family about this home.We are looking up your prayer and kind visite with mercy help in christ.May the blessings of the lord be with you all allways Aman Aman Aman

Dear Christian Friends,
Greetings, in the sweet name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, Who is coming very soon,
A lot of things are urgent, some things are important, but one is the top priority proclaiming Jesus to the un reached people of the world. There are so many vital things that contribute to helping, blessing, teaching and serving the body of Christ. However, if the church, the people of God forgets the great commission of Jesus to go in to the entire world and preach the gospel, we will miss our purpose to being in the earth. It will take the entire body of Christ working together to fulfill the great commission, that’s why I am sending you this e-mail. We need someone who wants to plant sister churches in Ethiopia and serving the people of God by giving training, and held conference. If you want partnering with us please contact Rev.

Thank you so much for the advice. Last June 24, 2012 we just started our church planting ministry here in Polomolok, South Cotabato, Philippines. First meeting we had gathered 8 children and 2 mother, God’s Word was successfully shared to them. Second meeting, praise the Lord attendance increases to 25. We just had our meeting at the front of our friends house which is not safe specially when it is raining since there are no roof. Our prayer is that, That God will send us individuals that could help us in this ministry. We are praying for the church lot since there are no church yet in the area. Hopefully this request will be realized soon. Thanks Brethren for your kindness.

I am a 63 year Old Indian who is involved in church Planting for over 30 years. As I read above, I had a definite call to go to where I am now. Immediately I vowed to my Father in Heaven that I will never serve Him for a salary but will trust Him and His word to meet all my needs. My wife and I or my children wear no jewelry or wear costly costumes. The Lord gave us 5 kids and took away one. The other 4 children are engineers and post graduates and one serve the Lord full time. We also pledged our land and buildings for the Living God. I write this purely for the Glory of God.
As a church planter I have tithed and gave more to other mission agencies, churches and national Christian Workers. I am 63+, and a diabetic and a victim of total paralysis (healed). My first and the only option is Prayer, fast and prayer and waiting. I have had the opportunity of hosting multinational Evangelists, pastors and missions leaders. I later learned that, most of them promise great things and forget, deny and even spread negative statements against me and my work. I am extremely sorry to tell you that westerners conclude and maintain a black book on Indians, that Indians are frauds and cannot be trusted. And they will also secretly make inquiries about us and the work we do here. And they return with photographs and video films of their, “great work” in India and use this to promote their own interests.
And there are individuals who claim that India is a rich country and therefore missions in India can raise their own support. Partially it may be true and a reality for the age old ‘Main Line Churches”, where they have salary oriented people. The trend in India these days is that people are leaning more towards,
“Faith Healers “gather the crowed to millions through miracles. Though they preach that “CHRIST JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON”, on one hand, on the other hand, they also buy million dollars worth properties and construct huge buildings. WHO’S CHURCH IS MEGA CHURCH ? is the competition now! Indian Christians, Instead of Expanding the Kingdom to the “unreached Millions” dump their millions to extravaganzas. And people who are able to afford to TV and other modern media coverage can survive.
And there are others who are deceived by “Social Web-sites” like Facebook, Myspace and such like. One may have thousands of friends. And our imagination sours and we have visions of getting millions in donations. Soon we realize that No matter how big a christian they are, very few respond!
How will a bare-foot, grass-root level Indian church planter survive? All of them have families, children and other needs. Some start with just a shoulder bag and bible in their bags? They visit villages, walk through valleys, hills and in rain and shine they work hard and have planted churches in villages where there were no Christians since creation. They feed their congregations on Sundays and in some cases provide 2 way bus travel money. I don’t think any graduate and degree holder in Theology or the sophisticated Overseas “Man Of God”, will even try it for one day.
Bethel church plants this way. Bethel embraces many Independent church planters under one umbrella and supports them in small ways, whenever the Lord provides funds. We do want to support them in big ways but have no opened doors yet. Kindly, Pray for us. Visit our web-site and write to us.
