Plans and visions come with associated costs. I am a witness that God provides resources, however, it's our responsibility to identify and prepare for the costs of every plan and vision for the Lord's house. 

 

A key question in your cost preparation is, "Where will the resources come from?"  The building fund, outreach ministry, mission ministry, youth ministry, and so on, all require money flowing into the organization to effectively achieve their intended goals and purposes.  While we are planning and writing the vision for these areas, consider the overall cost of the vision.  Think the overall plan through with a trusted group of individuals and pray for God to direct you how to receive the financial resources. It is important to set target monetary amounts needed at certain dates for some plans.  Monitor the plan and avoid missing deadlines.

 

God is with you.  You must count the cost before you begin.
