If Pastor's would live by the same faith they want their congregants to live by they would find that God has no problem funding His work in an overflowing way. We are not to put pressure on man, but on God.
Instead of learning how to walk in the faith that actually receives, so many are trying to figure out how they can downsize so that it's easier.
Ministry is not easy, nor is it cheap.

Jesus never commanded to go and build churches..that is..expensive beautiful buildings with high overhead.We as believers are the real church.Meeting at Starbucks can also be consider having church.
Nothing wrong with downsizing..just split up and expand..a city with 3-5 house churches could easily evangelize and reach more.
