3. How are we to fund the Kingdom work our communities need?
Where does money come from?
Not just now, but into the future

4. I can tell you something
The future will be different

5. Where does money come from?
Our personal experiences…
<<Types of source>>

6. When people ask me to talk about money
They want me to tell them where it is

7. But money is the fruit Of a healthy tree
It’s the end of a series of questions

8. Five (deceptively) simple Questions
Who are you?
What do you do?
What do you want to do?
What difference will it make?
And to whom?
What will it cost?
And who might be willing to pay?

9. Who are you? Where are the statements which describe who you are?
How do you protect and preserve your unique identity?

10. What do you do? What is the business you are in?
May be a complex answer
The business of the business is…
Is complexity good or necessary?

11. What do you want to do
The money you find will depend on where you look
Which depends on what you’re doing
“just carry on as we are” won’t work

12. Income: types and sources
I rely heavily now on the NCVO sustainability project
And the handout

13. NCVO’s income spectrum

14. Which way to go on your treasure hunt?
Depends on:
What you want to do
What’s the project you’re seeking funding for
And...?

Be aware of, perhaps beware of, strings
Independent action is enabled by independent means

17. There is money: If Our service is mission-led
Responding to the needs around us
Effective in making a difference
And well thought out and described
There is money...
Need to match your dream and the source

18. The Kingdom of God Is neither, Lo here! nor, lo there!
for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Luke 17, 21
