Bivocational ministry, reaching the lost, and sustainability.
In Episode 9 of the New Churches Q&A Podcast, we discuss the nuts and bolts of bivocational church planting. Fred Mok is an English Ministries Pastor at a Chinese Church in California, and here is his question:
What does a bi-vocational church planting model look like? How do I find a sending church? How do I get funding? How can I raise funds from the harvest and ultimately become vocational?
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- The different pathways to bivocational ministry
- How to reach an unreached people group with bivocational ministry
- The rhythm a bivocational church planter should use
- How to find a sending church
