A short video of Rich Nathan was recently posted on the Vineyard UK/Ireland website with a powerful message. In the video, Rich reminded local pastors that the Kingdom of God is much, much, much, much bigger than their local church. They are part of a larger movement of God throughout the world – and, as such, God may ask them to take some of their resources and “spread it around for the sake of the kingdom.”

This may sound scary to some local churches and pastors as it will cost them. They may not have anyone in place to take over the ministries of the people they are sending out…they may not have much money left over afterwards…but, as Rich said the in video, we give away our best. It is, after all, all God’s anyway – we (as pastors) are just stewards of God’s people and resources. If He says, give them away, we better give them away.
