The cost to plant a church or a network of house churches is only $80 per month for the pastor and his family.
Church Planter Support in Ethiopia
National church planters will establish congregations or house church networks in a variety of settings, but primarily in rural and village locales.
These church gatherings grow extremely quickly, multiply, and then are used as bases for reaching adjacent regions. The support of an Ethiopian church planting family in such a situation involves providing them with food, housing, clothing, and some transportation money for a period ranging from 6 to 18 months. After this, they will be fully supported by the new congregations.
