No, seriously, there is no time like the present. USA Today is reporting that people are going to the church for help in record numbers. Here are some highlights from the report:
- Nearly two in three pastors (62%) report more people from outside their church asking for help
- Nearly a third (31%) see more such requests from church members
- 27% of pastors have paid for more ministry items out of their own pocket than normal.
Just in the last few weeks, we’ve talked about this a couple times. It’s a better time than ever to make an economic impact with your church. How is your church helping out when times are tough?
