I thought you would love that article.

My guess is they must be worrying about competing mission boards taking away their dollars. I think I would worry if I were them also. When you become the 800 lb gorilla, you gotta keep your banana trees hidden from the nimble competitors.

In recent years, more and more SBC churches have been taking on individual missionaries. :thumbsup:

But now that I've had a while to digest it. I think I like it. I see two potential negative consnequences to full funding. One, a church and planter could become comfortable being "institutionalized" and might not feel any urgency to get out and do the work. Two, if a denomination fully funds its plants, some denominational beureaucrats might assume a certain amount of control over the who, what, where, why, and HOW...instead of leaving that to the local leaders and the Holy Spirit. The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of being fully-funded by the denomination.

mmmm .... beuacrats instead of the Holy Spirit? That is a scary picture.
