Any ministry that wants to expand must make plans to erect structures. The expansion is facilitated when a church building committee is commissioned for the purpose. The members of this group must possess certain qualities that can help them work together and efficiently. Some notable qualities every member should have include honesty, integrity, humility, persuasiveness, holiness and understanding.
Honesty is required in the team because the church needs people they can trust before they entrust their hard earned money to them. They are the ones that count and report any proceeds obtained from launching, harvest and offerings donated by the people so they should be trustworthy. Honesty is an irreplaceable virtue in the church.
A person who has integrity will shun wrong ways of getting things. For example, he will shun obtaining money through dubious means such as gambling and stealing. Integrity means steadfast adherence to godly nature.
Love is a quality that encompasses all other qualities. Love will make a church member understand another member's plight and know how to approach him or her. Love for God will also propel the member to seek extra ways of getting the money even when others are not around.
Every member of the group should be able to convince the audience to make financial contributions. Getting money from people can be tough at certain periods in the year and things are really hard these days. The people should be willing to do what they are asked to do after their speech.
Understanding is a gift each person in the group should have. Even if all but one person does not make a contribution all year, they should be patient to understand the reason, especially when it is genuine. This will help such a person remain firm in the faith and prevent gossiping and disunity. A group with understanding of the times and seasons also knows when to plan special programs that can be used to fetch huge amounts.
Sacrifice is something that cannot be overemphasized. From the day you are called to join a group like this in a church, you should know at once that at certain times, you will be required to deep your hands into your pocket. Such situations can come after a program when the money realized is not up to the expected amount. Members in this group are meant to believe that God waters those that water His vineyard.
Finally, it is also important to select those who have some kind of influence and training over others. For example, a professor in a university can be appointed to do most of the motivation while addressing the public. A lawyer can be appointed to advise other members on legal matters to avoid disputes with the government. An architect and civil engineer in the team will make the erection progress quickly. A building committee with these calibers of people is sure of success.
