Moving Resources from Structure to People

From 2000 to 2007, Tatesbrook was spending an increasing percentage of its resources (both time and money) on giving to other organizations. While this is a very Christian thing to do, it also reduces the amount of ministry we can do as a relational body.

Having a men's retreat and a women's retreat in the fall were wake up calls to our body and it was fairly obvious that we need to spend more corporate time together in fellowship instead of individual time edging, fixing, trimming, finding, moving stuff, throwing stuff away, investigating, negotiating, administrating, etc.

This is an exciting time as Tatesbrook transitions from paying old debt and servicing the needs of an aging building to ministering to His Kingdom within our body and the community that we serve. As we do that, I am confident that He will provide the income to meet the needs of these ministries.
