We are hearing this more and more each day. One of our representatives did an interview for a news station this week concerning churches being foreclosed on. The following article came out last week: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/09/us-usa-housing-churches-idUSBRE82803120120309
We have worked with 30+ churches that have either been foreclosed on or are facing foreclosure in the last couple years. In the situations where we have been able to work with the church in time we have been able to help them deal with the issue and find a way to continue or rebirth their ministry while reducing the debt burden.
If you or your church obtained a bank loan in 2007 - 2009 you will want to get counsel regarding your situation. Even if you have made every payment on time there is a chance that you may need to prepare to get a new loan with a different lender. Calling your lender is NOT the first step. You may not be on their radar today but once you call you will be.
We can help you address your current situation. Call me at 469.446.5131 or email me at johnm@thechurchconsultants.com.
The Circle Maker - Must Read!
Are you ready? Ready for revival? I was asked by a family member recently; "How can we get America to pray for our nation?" Well it starts with you and me. Christians who profess Christ as our Risen Savior and God as our Creator must humble themselves, get on our knees, and pray. That is easy to say and for many Christians it is sadly hard to do. So how do we start a Prayer revival?
Well for me, The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson has been the spark that has lit a wildfire in both my prayer time and my reading of God's Holy Word. This book has the potential to help Christians around the world realize the power of scripture and show them how to pray on the Promises of God while faithfully waiting on Him. Watch the following video for a sneak peak from Pastor Mark as he introduces you to the book.
I encourage you to read this book and find the resources available at www.thecirclemaker.com
The 4 week Bible study is structured to take your church and bible studies through. The Resources are there for you and I truly believe this book can make a difference in our world. This book will teach you to seek God, Pray Boldly, Pray through the Scripture, and learn how our Prayers benefit future generations.
Do not miss this great blessing. I pray for Mark Batterson and National Community Church. I have not met them, do not know them but I know God is using this story for His Glory!

Buying Land - Quick Hits
How much land do we need to buy for our Church? Churches ponder this question. I have heard Pastors say they need 25 acres and others say 1 acre will do. So, what are the rules of thumb to use to determine how much land your church needs.
First we will define your ministry needs. Call today and we can discuss the facilities needed for your ministry. We have access to great tools to help estimate the facilities and land you need.
General Rule of Thumb - 1 acre per 100 seats in your sanctuary. This is a start but there are additional parking and access discussions to explore based on your church schedule.
Parking - 100 parking spaces per acre.
If you are considering land, please contact me today for a free consultation regarding your ministry and your property and facility needs. Call me at 469-446-5131
