"Explore ways to increase the base of individual supporters" – I think team leaders should take responsibility for helping to finance UE personally and also calling friends etc to help contribute by setting up standing orders. We need to keep emphasising that we want people first (as God does himself) but we should not be shy in asking God for finances in prayer and then outworking those prayers ourselves by being courageous in helping UE build up its financial base. In this we can be confident that we are offering value for money!
