WHY IS BI-VOCACIONAL CHURCH PLANTING A VIABLE OPTION FOR ANY PROSPECTIVE PASTORS...

  • There is not enough money to finance all of the works needed to evangelize the nations. 

  • It helps pastors get into their calling.

  • If a pastor is not concerned about raising a budget to pay his salary, he can focus on the harvest rather than who can pay for the harvest.

  • There is a strong biblical foundation for being a bi-vocational church planter.

  • Building teams is quickly advanced when the planter realizes he is not able to do all of the work.

  • The bi-vocational pastor lives life of his parishioners.

  • The bi-vocational pastor is not always in a survival mode.
