Roundtable Discussion –
What is the Storehouse Network?
[By way of background, you can read what the Storehouse is all about clicking there.]
This week, as part 9 of our “How to” build a Storehouse, we will delve into: what is the Storehouse Network? How does it work? Is it operational? Up and running?
We will discuss how storehouses interact with each other relationally, such as the one in New England (NECAP.net) and the one in Florida (Manatee County Storehouse) recently worked with a home church Storehouse in Deerfield, MA, and how God was working in wonderful ways.
For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened; but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack—that there may be equality. As it is written…
2 Corinthians 8:13-15
…he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack
Exodus 16:18
