About half of the RB churches in the nation are (very literally) huts without windows, doors, and in some cases even without a roof.
Our church recently sent a large shipment of books for which we paid thousands of dollars. Then the shipping cost was enormous. These books were selected to coordinate with the upcoming pastoral theology courses.
So, from Conrad Mbewe's perspective I can see the need for willing churches to absorb some of this expense unless, and until, a better way is found.
