Great Reasons To Attend The Stewardship Summit 2019

 
Learning how to manage finances in ways that incorporate biblical principals of good stewardship are lessons for individuals and churches to learn. It can be life changing, affecting not only your life, but the lives of others, and it can improve our relationship with God and other individuals. Good stewardship can be learned.

We will be there as sponsors and speakers at the Stewardship Summit 2019 Hosted by Alex Cook CEO of ‘Wealth With Purpose.’ His ministry for educating others in good financial stewardship equips individuals and churches to fund their vision and manage their finances God’s way.

Carmen Debono, aifc Trainer & Assessor will also be speaking 5 March at the first Summit held at the Crows Nest Centre at 2 Ernest Place, Crows Nest, Sydney NSW.


About The Event

The goal of the summit is simple:  “Fund your Vision”.  Our passion at Wealth with Purpose is to see Christians use their money to invest in eternity and to ensure that Churches and ministries are fully funded.  The event is suitable for any Church Leaders that have an interest in the finances of a Church (Pastors, Church Boards & Council, Treasurers, Key Lay Leaders).

The Three Aims Of The Summit

More Money for Ministry – Your Church has a vision that God wants you to achieve.  This requires financial resources to fund it.

Maximise your existing resources – Whether it is your current revenue, buildings and other resources, these need to be stewarded well for maximum kingdom impact.

Provide financial discipleship – The role of leaders is to disciple their members to be God-honoring stewards.  Yet in Australia, 50% of the population live month-to-month and it now has the 3rd most indebted households on earth.  The advance of the Gospel is limited because of it.

Come and join hundreds of Australian Church Leaders discover world’s best practice in the realm of stewardship.
