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.
