We are not a bank and will not, as a rule, finance associate congregations, though we have done this before. In these difficult economic times, financing from abroad becomes increasingly difficult if not impossible. All associate and full congregations work on the principle of totally trusting in Yahweh to provide for all the needs of their people. Relationships of financial dependency on a central body may have short-term benefits but if the donor ministry suddenly ceases providing funds this can cause a major catastrophe in the congregation. Many such congregations come to us hoping that we will become a replacement financing structure. This we are not. Indeed, our message to all such congregations is to restructure their financial planning away from dependency from Western or other organisations and towards self-sufficiency, for two reasons:

• Dependency on outside organisations for regular financial provision is not biblical;
  
• The nevi'im (prophets) have informed us that the wealth of the West will abruptly come to an end in the not too distant future after it has been judged by Yahweh, and that this is imminent;
• Those organisations which do have wealth have usually compromised biblical truth in one way or another, expect acknowledgement of, and conformity to, their apostate teachings, and so their money is tainted and will bring curses and not blessings to the recipient congregations.

Our headquarters receives almost no donations at all from outside bodies and is itself self-supporting and dependent on Yahweh's grace to survive. When donations are received, they are tithed are distributed on a rotational basis to congregations and other projects like orphanages with the greatest needs. There is no expectancy on the part of member congregations for financial aid, and nor should their be, as such is a spiritually corrupting influence on the relationship between the apostles and the member congregations. The relationship between the two is purely of the Ruach (Spirit) with an obligation on all to assist one another as they are able to and as they are led by the Ruach (Spirit) but not by demand or in a spirit of entitelment. For a full statement on our funding policy, please see NCCG Funding Policy.

As part of its program of assisting congregations to become self-sufficienct, the Apostolate supports economic schemes such as aquaponics, permaculture and supplying their own energy through green technologies so that its members are no longer dependent on the state. We have long anticipated a time, which is now on our doorsteps, when congregations separated by distance will be cut off and isolated from each other owing to government restrictions on travel, financial collapse and epidemics that will force self-sufficiency and will no longer be in a position to receive mutual aid. They will need to be self-sufficient to avoid famine and in order to survive. Our policy has always been aimed at making our congregations a prophetic forward-looking people so that they become independent of the world and dependency on others. Dismantling the traditional expectations of poor congregations to be 'taken care of' financially by a 'father' ministry abroad, which amounts ultimately to trusting in the arm-of-flesh, is an essential part, therefore, of our program. Congregations seeking membership with us who do not have this as their goal will not find satisfaction and will ultimately seek not to be a part of us.
