Good Practice between Associated Charities

Last time we saw how there can be an argument for having a separate charity for carrying out some ministries, particularly the social action ministries, but that this is not always necessary.

What does the Bible say about Administration?

Gavin talks to Nigel Ring about what the bible has to say about the spiritual gift of administration. Nigel shares how Acts 6 shaped the way that he worked with Terry Virgo.
