MINISTRYBLUE (1984-)
Ministryblue
is just a vague name for what Christian Youth Resources, Australia
started.
(1984 start approx. to now). Ministryblue aims at making all major
expenses
for ministries free or cheaper. I never thought that it would ever get
to $1 million yet from 2000 it has managed to turnover $100 million
plus
in resources. I have actually stopped chasing up groups on the network
to work out how much it does now turnover. |
Zec
overtakes Granddad at 6 months for who has the longest hair.
I love
doing it
even though it
sounds more like monopoly money that reality.
I
also love to hear stories from people of ways we have helped them.
Ministryblue
exists because lots of people have been generous, it no longer relies
on
my marketing skill or ability to negotiate but on the heart felt
generosity
of thousands of different people who email free goods, to businesses
giving
amazing discounts. Ministryblue exists because God is in the business
of
changing people (even their wallets) not because of me.
