Abstract

Churches in Africa have vast assets: agricultural land and prime land in cities, real estate inschools, universities, hospitals, churches etc. How can these institutions become lessdependent on donations by increasing revenue from these assets? Theological visions,ethical values, planning skills, integrity leadership, fair elections, professional governingstructures, anti-corruption mechanisms, innovative strategies and investment partnershipsare needed to aid such developments.This handbook offers conceptual knowledge, practical solutions and case studies, written bypractitioners for practitioners in churches: pastors/priests, leaders, finance officers, assetmanagers, donor agencies, students and all those engaged for professional, innovative,efficient and faith-based asset management of churches and church-related organisations.
