cebu network business

CEBU HOUSE CHURCH NETWORK Business Plan
By: Molong and Lisa Nacua, house church practitioner and planter


MISSION:
Our mission is to honor God by establishing house churches for Jesus Christ.

VISION:
For where your house is, there your church will be also.

MY CALLING:
God calls me to reach out every Filipino family through simple/house church/family like fellowships. I believe God can best reach people out through 'family households' than individuals. John the baptist was called to 'prepare the way of the Lord' by reconciling family relationships. And the 72 disciples was sent to the village to 'find a house of peace.' I believe that true revivals happens first in the hearts of people living in homes where true lives really shows in front of their loved ones. Just like a 'lamp' being put up in a table so that 'all who are in the house' will see the light, and from the house it goes to a community.

DENOMINATIONAL WAY OF SUPPORTING PASTORS IN THE PHILIPPINES:
Christianity has been around 108 years in our country, hundreds of churches yet we never turned even a city upside down. One major problem arises its because of only clergies that went to a seminary Bible school can lead churches. The priesthood of all believers was not recognized. Secondly, is the way Institutional Churches supports its leaders. The standard salary of a pastor is only $40 per month, it doesn't matter if you have 1 or 5 children going to school. This idea of clergy and financing the worker slows down the ministry. And though in the house church movement such beliefs change automatically, but not literally, there is still some preliminary works to be done.

House Church Movement in the Philippines was so young to stand on its own. But at least it has a good start to begin with in terms of moving toward simplicity of the church as in the days of the apostles. The following 'tent making' business could possibly further God's work because it can potentially support mobile church planters to become mobile technicians roaming around doing church plantings and at the same time support their own ministry while on the field.

The business concept was an ELECTRICAL AND REPAIR SHOP. It will be a store to sell parts of any Nine [9] kinds of home appliances such as electric fans, stoves, air conditions, etc. But most of its roles are repairs. Imagine in every house there are at least 3-5 of these appliances that a family owned. What a potential then to serve them services that offers not only a shop for them to bring their appliances to be repaired but also provide home servicing wherever they are - an unrecognizable 'disguise' to share the gospel while doing the job inside their own very homes.

HOW CAN IT POSSIBLY HELP SUPPORT CHURCH PLANTERS AND THEIR COMMUNITY?

The business is mainly a family owned, me. I will supervise it for a while until I can be able to travel again and continue doing what God called me to do, without worrying what resources should I leave for my family while I'm away. I have already two [2] technicians that is being prepared for the job. This can maintain the services that we offered in the shop alone.

On the job training. Now here's the real deal. The first to help are the church planters to find their own means while in the field. So this is what they can do for themselves. They will work with me in the shop, in training for three [3] months on how to fix electrical appliances. [I have my own experiences while working in my Dad's shops years ago, it does not need a high school or even an elementary graduate to learn how to fix things like these. So it can be learned, depending on the commitments.] After their training, they are then ready to be sent out as mobile technicians and church planters to the villages. The village is where the rich people lived compared to those who just live in a squatters area. There are around 100-200 houses in one village. Imagine if one mobile technician can just get 10 home appliances a day to be repaired? The cost of labor for each is $2, then that is $8 a day, just for the labor alone. What if there are some parts to be replace? Small parts like the Electric Fans can just be put in s mall bags with some tools that the person can carry at his back. Each church planters then can receive a food allowance, but not a salary. They will get a commission basis, depending on their hard work. Refrigerators and such can then be pick up by a small jeepney to be dropped at the shop for big repairs.

Each mobile technician or church planters will be provided with an [1] Identification Card, that they work in a legal company, [2] a receipt, to show they can be trusted and [3] a name/calling/business card, that provides their information and the shops information. We can provide them with colored T-shirts with the companies name to make them look good. If each technicians can succeed in his work, then a second-hand mountain bike from Japan can be provided for his mobility. [There are 2nd hand bikes from Japan that cost only here $50].

BIGGER MARKET?

Not only that each technician can earn daily in the villages, they can also gather as a team and make arrangements to schools, hospitals and establishments and offer maintenance services. A school of 50 rooms could have 75 electric fans. If you offer them $2 labor for each then you can get as much as $150 alone, not including the parts if there are any replacements. Companies and hospitals have bigger number of appliances to be repaired and maintain.

UPGRADE:

[1] We can do a wholesale store in Cebu to the Islands of Visayas and Mindanao. Stocks can be bought in a cheaper price in Quapo, Quezon City. As I am saying, this is my father's business before so we know where to buy cheap bulk materials for the business.

[2] We can open several branches in the future.

PROVIDE JOBS FOR THE PEOPLE:

Still a great number of Filipinos have no income. We can provide jobs for them by through marketing, and training, and at the same time 'lock them up in a room for a spiritual session,' before sending them out as witnesses of Jesus.

THE COST:

As estimated starting capital is $2,610.
