Christians of Another Category: A Gospel-Patron Community - Chris Nye

What is necessary for great ministry to happen? We could list many things like prayer, discernment, courage, and community. But what about money? Every great work of God—in Scripture, in church history, and across the globe right now—has behind it “gospel patrons,” people who supply the financial resources necessary for the work of the gospel. Our world understands and is obsessed with consumeristic and capitalistic visions of investment. Christians have a larger vision for their possessions as they reject the worship of “mammon” (possessions) and embrace generosity.
