8 Ways To Build A Ministry or Business

By: Eme Paasch

Vol. 1 No. 1

The Victory 1 Project is a project providing information, resources and direction for building ministries and business. When I walk into churches around the country, I find some churches are thriving and growing while others have four major problems:

1. Attendance Shrinking
2. Younger Families Missing
3. Lack of Youth Programs
4. Boring Environments

What makes a ministry or business grow into a Rick Warren Saddleback Church or a Joel Osteen ministry? What makes a business boom? You may want to consider the following:

Building Blocks

1. Evaluation: A ministry or business evaluates where they are now and where they want to go.
2. Help: Ministries and business ask for help in putting programs together. Workers or helpers fail because of lack of direction in many cases.
3. Desire: Ministries need more than 10% of the people doing 90% of the work. There needs to be desire by the whole church or business to grow and reach out. Desire is not created through iron fist rulers.
4. Vision: Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Ministries and business need vision of where they are and where they want to be. Vision on how to get to their destination. And most important, vision for why they want to grow.

I have titled this article, 8 Ways To Build A Ministry or Business because I want you to list 8 ways you can think of, to build a ministry or business? Then look at our four building blocks. List or comment in our blog what you think these 8 ways of building are and in our next issue, we will look at 8 things you can do now to build your ministry or business.

Evaluate your ministry or business. Ask yourself who has helped you so far and how could you get more help and from whom? Desire is not a form of lust here but a purpose like Rick Warren speaks about and teaches. Vision includes an overall picture of the future: Your ministry future; your business future.
