A Yorkshire church which gave ten pounds to every parishioner has seen the money multiply into thousands. Revd Richard Steel from St John's in Kirkheaton asked members of the congregation to invest it to raise money for church repairs. Inspiration came from the parable of the talents - a story Jesus told about a man who entrusted money to his servants.
Revd Steel told Premier's News Hour how the money was raised.
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
