Talent Fund Helps Church Lift Mortgage
In Haddon Heights New Jersey Bethany Presbyterian uses a parable inspired fund to pay down its mortgage by letting members take small amounts from the offering plate. Adults give ten dollars teens five and children one. Early results show a thousand dollar bank loan paying dividends toward a 5090 mortgage. Members diversify with ventures from painting to honey and garden produce. The effort spreads to St James in Cedar Rapids where bread rolls produce income and a fair booth is funded by talents.
