| Financial Planning Form |
The focus of a narrative financial plan is to describe your ministries and what you plan to accomplish with the financial resources available to you. A narrative financial plan attempts to integrate several items: Mission statement, visions, goals and financial allocations for ministries. The information provides justification for dollar requests and describes your plan for next year and its cost. |

| Mission Plan Guidelines |
Launching a new church is not an easy endeavor. I've never met a new start missionary who has not talked about both the joys and the struggles of launching a new church. Many describe periods of intense spiritual warfare. The last thing the evil one wants to see is people coming into a relationship with Jesus Christ. The English District celebrates your desire to become a missionary to the non-Christian people in your area. |
