Crown ignite! > What is Ignite?



	The Need Pastors and ministry leaders around the world share a common frustration. In order to gain funding for a project they have had to go to the West. This model generally has robbed the local people of a feeling of responsibility. When people are taught that everything they have access to and ownership of is a tool that God has placed in their hands to advance His Kingdom, everything changes. People get involved. They make sacrifices. They grasp the vision of their local church. In short, they become sustainable. Through this training, Crown is working with organizations and people all over the world, bringing them towards sustainability. Won’t you join this effort? Purpose A two-day training program that equips churches and other organizations with Crown’s foundational international resources (Bible on Money and Bible on Business) in order to bring sustainability to their worldwide partners or relationships.
