GOAL

- To have income generating projects to supplement the ministries finance.
CHALLENGES
- Lack of funds to put permanent structures
- Poor church ground attachment because of untrained pastors
- Many churches established in communities/areas that have been affected by poverty and destitute families. So pastors have been forced to be part time ministers to cater for their families thus affecting church growth.

Effective evangelism has retarded due to lack of public addressing system and
means of transport.
