FAQ #2 - $$$

2. HOW DO YOU GUYS SUPPORT YOURSELF LIVING IN SUPER EXPENSIVE DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER??

That part of our life is a constant adventure. We were able to buy a condo down here but it stretched us big time financially. BUT we wanted to "live amongst the people" we were ministering to. We didn't want to "parachute in" from the 'burbs to give 'em the gospel and then head back out in the HOV lane. It is a constant sacrifice but it has been, is, and will continue to be, worth it.

Our budget is a combination of jobs (Delta Pentecostal Church, The Well) and personal support (people whom we share our vision with support us monthly similar to an overseas missionary).

Our long term vision is to establish a coffee business in downtown which would become it's own stream of revenue.

Hope that clarifies some things. Next post, we will address the social climate in this area of Vancouver.
