One place to start as a Gospel Patron is to partner with a church or ministry leader you already know, where the character of that person is well known. You could simply ask that person, “What is one thing that would help you succeed in your ministry?” Perhaps a need or a new dream will arise that you can help fulfill.
It seems wise to start with a trial period, perhaps 2-3 years. If your relationship flourishes and the ministry shows promise, you can move to a greater commitment. And if not, you can take a step back.
God has a unique way of highlighting the particular people and projects that are the good works he has set before us to do. (Ephesians 2:10) If we’re available to God and obedient to the Holy Spirit’s promptings, God will bring the right opportunities.
