No commentsConstruction Management – Is it right for your project? Part 3
Recently we took a break from the discussion on Construction Management and looked at Capital Reserve accounts.
I have heard from a great number of you who have downloaded the “calculator” and have found it to be a great tool.This week we are going to continue our service on Construction Management and the 3 primary types of CM. In part 2 of this series we looked at Construction Management - 4th Party. This week, we will be exploring Construction Management Agency. As I stated in Part 2, every construction delivery method has pros and cons and you need to evaluate and carefully consider which approach provides your church with the appropriate level of service, quality, risk/reward, accountability, etc. With that said, let’s look at the pros and cons of CM Agency.

3 commentsDo you rejoice when God answers prayer?
I was spending some quiet time this morning, thinking and writing in my journal (a daily part of my life for the past couple years) when I was convicted about not rejoicing like I should about some recent answers to prayer.Last Thursday, God answered a 2+ year prayer request…we closed on the sale of a second home that we have had on the market for the past couple years. Our family, friends and small groups have been praying diligently for this to happen. In fact, in my son’s small group from church, it had become so regular that the other boys in the group could recite the request even before Lee could get the words out of his mouth.

2 comments3 Simple Steps to Establish a Capital Reserve Account
We are going to take a short break from our discussion of Construction Management, and address a topic that I believe is going to be extremely helpful and useful as we all come to the end of the calendar year and start the process of planning for new budgets. I want to show you a very simple, and yet effective way of establishing
a Capital Reserve Account. As a disclaimer, you all need to know that I am not an accountant (dropped it in college after 3 weeks). But we all need to be aware of how to establish certain mathematical equations and apply them to our field of endeavor. - 1 Nov
