8. No licensing or dues. Ministers are licensed through their assembly.
Even though I have joked with the joksters, I was really serious on this thread.
What you have described is an AWCF type org. With the exception of their Magazine they have available for members.

There would be a focus on specific individual ministries. The website could be utilized to advertise those seeking funding, with a link to paypal accounts for INDIVIDUAL ministries.
This would do away with beauracracy and eliminate administrative expenses.

Thats what I was thinking, but he threw in local license, and the AMF does that through the head office.
I really think the AMF has a good setup. They police their fellowship via the men within the fellowship. Each church is self governed by its Pastor and their board of Elders. They have a small Missions Arm, though I think they would be better served to drop it and use Bro Alvears vehicle instead.

9. I would heavily advertise and promote the "fellowship" ideal. I would never, ever, ever, ever use the word "organization" at any time.
